Dev notes

Sync update loop

The sync update loop checks the state of the sim using SimConnect.

Each LED ID has an update function that receives the instance of the SimConnect AircraftRequests with which it is responsible for setting the LED to the correct state. This results in more verbose code but more flexibility and easy readability.
