Bug description:

The naming for the Input(s) folder is confusing.
The Modular SimObject Project Setup says to make an Inputs (with s) folder
The Aircraft Input Profile Package Setup says to make an Inputs (with s) folder
The picture shows Input - without an s

Is this folder name optional or needs to be specific?

The Exporting The Device Profiles section has no relation to Inputs or Input - are these some other folders somewhere in the project or should the Output folder be.

I thought the output folder would have just the word “input” rather than “InputProfiles” and be next to the common folder or next to the config folder if it’s put into the attachments sub-folders.

I see this input is still a work inprogress as there are “Coming Soon” sections not finished.

Hello @DA40CGDFQ

With SU5 Beta we introduced a dedicated input profile entry in the Project Editor wizard, as well as input editing tools directly in the DevMode.
This should simplify the process and you will no longer have to create those paths manually.

Device Profiles

Sylvain
