Hi Pete, Thank you for your reply. "Latest stable version"? Huh? Which versions are "unstable"? I do not support anything earlier than 4.949, so please make sure you are not using anything earlier. I meant to say that I don't use a beta or alpha version. To be more precise: version 4.949 What "other option in FSUIPC"? "Key press to repeat while held" Ctrl+F2 is a key press which has a default assignment in FS to a control ("Prop pitch decr"). If you have to keep it pressed for 2-3 seconds then the action occurring is that the control is repeatedly sent at your standard keyboard repeat rate (20/sec?) for that time. Why on Earth do the aircraft need something like 60 decrements? I don't know. I did a lot of testing. First by pressing the keys on my keyboard. When I press CTRL + F2 the condition levers are not moving. When I press the keys and hold it a little bit longer then the condition levers move to the "fuel/ Off" position. I can imagine 2 reasons for that: 1. It is a bug made by Majestic 2. It is a extra safety. Pressing accidently CTRL+F2 during a flight is not what you want to do I guess. Perhaps you need to instead consider sending "Prop pitch set" with a value or either 0 as parameter, or perhaps -16383. Alternatively try the "Prop pitch lo" control. That might actually do the same. Thank you for the suggestions. When I select "Prop pitch lo" the conditioning lever is going fully forward. Strange, it should be going fully backwards then it should work. When I select "prop pitch hi" then nothing happens. Does it make sense to assign a value to the parameter? The idle detent of a warthog activates button 28. So when you put the throttle all the way backwards then the value is -16384. There I can lift the throttle and but it into idle detent where button 28 in FSUIPC is activated. Thanks again for any help. Arthur

Hi, I want to program Ctrl-F2 to my button 28 of my Warthog throttle. (Button 28 is the idle detent position of the throttle) In that way I can put the condition lever of the Q400 in the fuel/off position when I put the Warthog throttle in the idle detent. I can program Ctrl-F2 to the button 28 in the usual way as written in the manual but I want CTRL-F2 be hold a little bit longer. For example 2 or 3 seconds otherwise the condition-levers are not reacting. What is the best way to do that? I don't want Ctrl-F2 be hold for a long time so I didn't use the other option in FSUIPC. Thanks in advance for any help. //Arthur By the way: I'm always using the latest stable version
