Another StreamDeck profile

Here's another StreamDeck profile, just to put some other ideas out there.



A couple of points... first, I've got a good mix of peripheral controllers, so I wasn't trying to put every possible command on the StreamDeck, just some things that keep me from having to reach for the mouse or the keyboard at busy times. Also, I have everything mainly on one page(*), because flipping through various pages is a little bit of extra work that sometimes makes things seem a bit busy.

The white/green buttons on the upper left are for controlling the views (layouts). The two green ones (HOME and HAND FLYING) are the ones I use for most things. The center column in this section (OVHD, HOME, CNTR PDSTL) are top-to-bottom from the overhead, to the captain's view, to the center aisle pedestal.

The nine blue buttons in the upper right are for MCP controls, and I think are self-explanatory. I put them top-to-bottom in order of how frequently I use them, heading controls on top.

The "Boeing brown" buttons and the green A/P button are MCP switches.

For future expansion, if someone ends up making an app that lets the StreamDeck send Qvars into PSX, then I would add a button for entering/leaving the runway that does things like packs, landing lights, strobes, and TCAS. I still have to the the mouse for those at the moment.

*) "EICAS PLUS" and "EFIS" open new pages with additional controls, but either I use these rarely, or else I find it easier just to use the mouse for these, so the these two StreamDeck pages pretty much go unused.
