Falcon-BCC is an utility for Falcon BMS which randomizes switches in the F16 cockpit. It's supposed to make cold-starts a bit more interesting, by requiring more attention and not relying on the switches being always in the same state. It's probably unrealistic, since the plane would be prepared by the ground crew, hence the name - Bad Crew Chief.
It's a hacky solution. It works by sending key-presses to Falcon BMS which are assigned to all the various switches and knobs.
- Run the falcon-bcc.py file with Python.
- Once in-game, randomize the cockpit by moving the Mode knob on the CMDS panel to STBY.
It will only randomize the cockpit once. Subsequent toggling of the CMDS panel knob to STBY won't have any effect. A sound effect is played during the randomizing for better feedback when it's done.
Just the Python standard library.
For ultimate convenience, as with my other utility which displays briefings on a smartphone, it is recommended to add it to a startup script, which would start it together with Falcon BMS.
