FSUIPC4 getting (null) when pressing a letter key

[Captsteff]

When I go into FSUIPC4 and try and set a key press I get "(null)" coming up instead of the letter. For instance if I press CTRL-SHFT-Z it comes up as CTRL-SHFT-(null) and will not work.

I am running windows 7, FSX and FSUIPC version 4.853 (registered)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you...............Captsteff

That used to happen occasionally, and was always okay on 2nd or 3rd try, but was fixed a while ago. Your 4.853 is actually out of date and unsupported. Always look for updates when you find a problem. The current earliest release available is 4.86 (install that first), and there's a later one in Download Links (4.869).

Press CTRL SHIFT Z then let go of all three keys and then if you see Null press the Z again on its own and it will work fine then. I've no idea why NULL comes up once in a blue moon but doing the above with the none modifier key seems to bypass the issue and still register the correct total number of keys pressed.
