    Hi,
    I'm using Streamdeck as buttonbox for BeamNG. Streamdeck has small LCD-Panels in the buttons which can show different states. I want to implement bidirectional buttons using Simhub and the following tools:
    https://github.com/pre-martin/SimHubPropertyServer
    https://github.com/pre-martin/StreamDeckSimHubPlugin

    and the infamous good Iconpack of @23Terrabytes
    https://www.beamng.com/threads/beam-deck-beamng-icon-pack-for-elgato-stream-deck-and-sim-rigs.87570/

    This works quite well for the engine button and the indicators.

    But!
    The outgauge.lua is quite limited in data output.
    It would great to enhance the data for example with:
    - fog lights
    - low beam
    - high beam
    - 4x4 modes with Hi-Lo
    - diff locks
    - esc modes (with separate active and on/off flags

    See older threads:
    https://www.beamng.com/threads/more-data-in-outgauge-packet.86251/
    https://www.beamng.com/threads/outgauge-support-specifications.82507/

    Best!
    Alex

    Agreed. Many of us want to use accessories to enhance our Beam experience. Extending OutGauge would enable a lot of new fun things for those who like to tinker.

    For your implementation it sounds like it might be possible to create a GE extension using outgauge as a base.
