Okay, I managed to fix everything so far and reach my end goal. I just have on issue

  with uiNamespace do { ctrl = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", 2000]; ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0.398398 * safezoneW + safezoneX , 0.211 * safezoneH + safezoneY, 0.322734 * safezoneW, 0.663 * safezoneH]; ctrl ctrlSetFont "EtelkaMonospacePro"; ctrl ctrlCommit 0; ctrl ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0,0,0,0.7]; };   When I try to access "ctrl" variable it does not get recognized in other scripts, how can I access it?

🤷‍♂️ at a guess _inidbi always returns false.

I would create my own laptop "addon" through config.cpp (the same config, same model, different class name) and add the addaction in the config.

Gotcha.  Thanks.  I'm knowledgeable about real -60 flight modeling, but not about the programming side.  I'm not sure how helpful I can be without the technical/coding knowledge, but happy to offer any assistance if desired.

I'm open to suggestions on that - I've tried INIT EH as well as the ContainerOpened and ContainerClosed event handlers.  Nothing persists once the inventory item is removed.  I am *assuming* the item's INIT EH will be launched when the item is removed from inventory, but that does not appear to be the case.   And the containerOpen and Closed EH's follow the same behaviors - they only work before the item is put into inventory.
