Interfacing elevates you to the next Level in Home Cockpit Building and DYI Flight Simulators. It allows you to create two-way interactions between your devices (joysticks, flight sim panels) and the Simulator. Instead of just providing inputs, the simulator can now provide outputs, modifying properties of your devices, such as turning on an LED or triggering alarms. Behind the scenes, this is done when an interfacing software creates a bridge between your device, the interfacing card, and the Simulator. The simulator works with modifying specific values, and depending on the Simulator, these can be called variables, controls, Event IDs, or DataRefs. This video is probably one of the few online that attempts to explain how interfacing works, as it is a very complex subject.
