Is there a place to find import configs for GA aircraft?

    I'm confused now as well. In what context are you asking these questions?

    Just want to make sure I am understanding the concept of DEVICE0_ and CONTROLS2..thank you for your time.Have a great day. Roger

    OK, the device is the device number of your GF166. So if you have multiple units you use the relevant variable. If you just have 1 unit you always use DEVICE0 variables.

    The GF166 can have upto 4 configs loaded into it in real time. This is needed for example for the COM radios so that when you press the button to switch between standby and active it loads a different config which swaps the COM radio variables around. The configs are numbered 1 to 4 and ACTIVECONFIG variable will contain a value between 1 and 4 depending on which config has been loaded.

    There is more information here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/19-operating/22-configuring-goflight-devices-additional-information.html in the GF166 section.

    Best wishes
