might be slightly offtopic, but I know that some experienced software developers are on this forum, so I will give it a try
I own a Cirrus PFC flight console (USB version) from Precision Flight control which I use for my PE flights, it works fine, but I would need different switch commands in X-Plane 11 for different airplanes. Since it is a Windows HID Device (but not a regular joystick): Do you think it is possible/feasable to write a custom driver for the flight console without support from the manufacturer? I have programming skills in C#, but never programmed any drivers before...

For Prepar3D it is possible to reprogram some of the functionality with Lua, but I guess for X-Plane I would need to write a complete new driver.

Thanks, Thomas

I have the cirrus II console,and am in the process of totally rewiring with the Leo Bodnar Boards,

I have done the pitch and roll with these Hall effect potentiometers,

Unfortunately,the standard Cirrus pots and boards are high priced garbage. I had to Rube Golberg the linkages to the exsisting Yoke to the new Pots with manufactured brackets,and some leftover RC heli linkages. It now works like it should have,for the $$$ I spent......
