Very special customer options

Hello,

PSX 10.0.8 (March 2016) has introduced an additional customer option code that is not stored in aircraft model files but in preferences (pref files), and that can only be set by using a text editor.

In each pref file there is this default line:

CustomCode=0

0 is the normal value. You may increase this value as follows:

Add 1 if the Instructor screen should be forced to stay hidden (e.g. no access for students).

Add 2 if the WXR control panel should be removed (e.g. if students are used to other WXR versions)

Add 4 if the FMC V1 computation should be suppressed (e.g. for BA or Qantas customers). There's a checkbox now.

Add 8 if the dark cyan PSX screen divider bars should be black (available since PSX 10.1.8, for cockpit builders) There's a checkbox now.

Add 64 to disable the pop-up menu in the top left corner (PSX 10.166 or higher required).



Example:
If you want to keep the Instructor hidden and you also want to disable the pop-up menu, set the sum of 1+64. That is, set CustomCode=65 in the pref file you're using.

You can change this while PSX is running. You can make multiple pref files with different file names and load them  during a PSX session at any time by going to Instructor > Preferences > Load (if the Instructor is not hidden).
