Input Cable / GPI Fire Events

Problem:

Operators running aerial-firefighting aircraft want a low cost solution for having fire events shown in the Fleet Manager application and live tracking feeds. Fleet Manager offers an Input Cable accessory for Spider X but it currently does not support firefighting signals — bucket valves, tank gates, pumps, fill valves. Today those inputs can only be mapped to a small set of core flight event signal proxies, so the only path to capture fire events is via a more expensive ATU integration.

Desired outcome:

Operators want drop, fill, and pump activity support added to the Input Cable options so these events can be captured and shown in Flight Explorer, downloads, and the AFF API similar to an ATU (will not include volumes).

Proposed change:

Add firefighting input types (tank/bucket drop, fill, and pump) to the Input Cable config options as a economy path to support core fire events landing in Fleet Manager and AFF API.
