Since there really is no consumer grade software, like xPlane, that provides door management controls, I went ahead and wrote myself a little controller that allows me to set the door status on the L-1011 simulator. The controller also sets the shared memory region for the physical device controller that connects to the Annunciator Panel on the Second Officer Station.
The first image above shows the door controls for the passenger doors, the emergency exits and the cockpit hatch.
The second panel allows me to control the cargo doors and the service center doors.
The the third panel I have designed to control the gear doors and the warning indicators for the S-Duct.
The code is written Obj-C and also controls a number of xPlane data refs for gear retraction and pressurization.
