FlipFlat in Simulator?

FlipFlat in Simulator? was created by AirBourn

I'd like to do some debugging and testing with auto flat generation. I have a simulators profile up and running. I've tried a simulation of the FlipFlat as well as the "Light Panel Simulator" and can't seem to get the Capture Module "Calibration Options" dialog to recognize any light panel or cap simulation. Is there a way?

Dust covers and flat light sources have to be configured in the optical train. There aren't dedicated calibration options any more, since these were redundant to the optical train configuration. If you want to use the FlipFlat for capturing flats, configure it as light box and as dust cap.

Ah - OK. Didn't think about configuring the cap/light in the Optical Train. Makes sense. If I configure the Optical Train correctly and set the ADU target for the job, it works as expected. Thank you Wolfgang!
