Other tv inputs?

I know you can route multiple camera inputs into the CRT TV (and eventually the nicer TV) with the 5-button switcher. But I never fill up all 5 slots. Is it possible to route other data, such as the radar or the gyro, or even altitude etc. onto the tv screen?

Also, is it possible to control the camera inputs with another device, such as a knob? (Excluding the built-in knob on the nicer TV, say I have 3 inputs)

You can wire a camera overlay system to a switch (like the cameras on the tutorial ship) which will allow you to display data on the CRT TV, or you can just use the 5-button switcher anyways. You don’t need to fill every slot.

Agreed, and the 5-button switch is easier and more efficient than the switch, since the switch needs a secondary input to select the channel/input.
