[Request 2781 logged] Flaps as pilot 1 action (checklist "override" option)

[Rodeo]

In some instances, flaps control is a "pilot 2 action" in the checklists (after takeoff, after landing, possibly go-around?); but for people who have a hardware flaps lever, it would be interesting to be able to override this behavior so that all flap actions must be performed by the pilot flying -- without having to manually edit the checklist files.

Rationale: avoiding a desync between the hardware and actual aircraft's flap lever position, which could possibly lead to confusion during an important flight phase 

Note: a checkbox to enable/disable this behavior would be more flexible than auto-detecting whether an axis is assigned to flaps in X-Plane.
Rationale: non-standard hardware and/or situations where a custom plugin is used to read the axis value and set the flaps indirectly, rather than the native X-Plane flaps axis assignment.

Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

A checkbox would be useful. I am unsure as to how changeable the pilot actions are on the fly, but I have made the request.
