It is not possible for users to change it in the current version. It was set by me manually to whatever seemed most logical. In general, they are organized according to this system:
1. Borrow most of the colors and behaviour from the Junkers 88. It is logical for the most part. Indicators for systems are green when set properly for landing and taking off. Red when not proper for landing/take-off. Yellow if in between.
2. The red color is supposed to warn that the system is not set properly - so it includes the air brake and WEP/Boost. But on the G940 the lights are very close to each other and it is not obvious which one is what system. Mixing red for landing gear up together with WEP and other things is contradicting, because then the lights mean completely different things. RED for gear would be normal, while red for air brake and WEP would mean a big warning. This is why the 'off', or 'normal' flight color, is off instead of red or yellow. Wing fold is red only when the wings are folded, because that is very dangerous in any situation except parked on the carrier.
3. Green is used for systems that are not dangerous, or to show that a system is set properly for landing/take-off. Level stabilizer for example. Or flaps in landing position, landing gear down, and arrestor hook down.
4. Another reason for 'off' instead of other colors is because IL-2 keeps saying that things are not activated in planes that don't even have the system. If flying planes without wing-fold, the button would be yellow all the time.
