Question about button/key assignment

[eziocin]

Hi,

today, while editing the Buttons section of Fsuipc.ini, to add two new assignments for a button on a particular profile, I noticed that such section contains all the assignment I had previousy made for this button on this profile plus an additional line that I thought I hadn't seen before:

 

17=H1,0,K238,8

 

So I looked for the key 238 in the manual to understand what is was referring to but I wasn't able to find a key corresponding to 238.

 

Apologise in advance if I am missing something obvious and this is a very silly question, but can someone clarify which key is corresponding to 238 ?

 

Thanks

 

Regards

How strange!  238 is part of the extended ASCII codes, most commonly relating to characters in Latin extended characters sets of Word Processors!

What does FSUIPC display it as in the button assignments tab when you press that button? In the Windows system it is defined as:

 

VK_OEM_WSCTRL     0xEE

 

(EE is 238 in hexadecimal).

 

I don't list all the esoteric keys found on non-UK/US keyboards, but every value 0-255 is used I think.

Thanks Pete for your reply.

I think I have solved the mistery: I have three profiles in the FSUIPC.ini, corresponding to Aerosoft Airbus, PMDG 777 and PMDG NGX. The buttons/key assignments are pretty much the same for the three profiles. I have FS2Crew installed on all the three aircraft. Now, for the T7 and NGX FS2crew I have the option to assign the FS2crew soft mute action to the CTRL key in the FS2crew config section (and I have not selected this option as I am soft muting FS2crew via the same PTT button I use to talk to online ATC), whilst for the Airbus this is the default option and cannot be changed.

The 17=H1,0,K238,8 line is only present on the Airbus profile and not on the PMDG ones, so I believe this must be relevant to the action of soft muting Fs2crew microphone while holding the CTRL key. So I must assume that FS2crew can modify the FSUIPC.ini file in this way.

Does it make sense ?

I can't check what FSUIPC displays in the button assignment tab when pressing that button as that button has a total of three assignments and I don't know how to display the three of them (maybe I am missing something in the manual).

Yes, that is possible I suppose.

No, multiple assignments to the same button can't be changed or edited in the dialogue.

 

But if it works as you wish it to, no problem, eh?

Yes..! It works flawlessly....so...no problem... !

 

Thanks for your time anyway (as usual)...
