Dear Pete, Thanks for your answer. I will submit my question to the PMDG forums then. I have created my macros with a text editor. Each macro covers a dedicated 777X panel (MCP, DSP, EFIS,...), with all the available controls listed for the given panel. So, it's ready to be assigned for any button/keypress from the FSUIPC tab, even if I'm not using all of them. I used the multiple part macro format, in case I have to add an action to a control. This would avoid having to renumber all the others below, as the list might be long. Besides, I find it a little easier to read or edit for a long list (personal preference). And it seems to be working that way 🙂 Thanks again! Greetings Leo

*** Moved from FAQ to Support Forum: please post support requests here *** Dear Pete, I'm a newcomer from France in this forum, but I've been using FSUIPC for some time now. I managed to assign actions to buttons and keypresses in various ways successfully, but I could not find a solution to the following issue. Objective: assign PMDG 777X rotary knob functions to keypad or mouse keys (it is easier to use than a virtual knob and a mouse). Issue: It works with some knobs, but not with others. Case 1 (SUCCESSFUL): Assign the PMDG_777X MCP 'HDG SEL' knob to two keypad keys, via a macro. These are the macro entries: 22=HDG_SEL_INC 22.1=C71812,2147483648 23=HDG_SEL_DEC 23.1=C71812,536870912 As you can notice, the parameters are emulating mouse actions (single left and right). The expected actions are achieved: one key is increasing HDG SEL, and the other one decreasing it. When the keys are released, the heading is freezing as expected. Note: I did not report the FSUIPC.ini entries, as the key assignments are working well. Case 2 (NOT SUCCESSFUL): Assign the PMDG_777X EFIS altimeter baro setting knob (Captain side) to two keypad keys, via a macro. These are the macro entries: 6=EFIS_CP_BARO_INC 6.1=C69823,2147483648 7=EFIS_CP_BARO_DEC 7.1=C69823,536870912 The macro entries are similar to the previous case with a different custom control, however the resulting actions are not as expected: both keys are decreasing the baro pressure setting, and the decrease does not stop when the keypad keys are released. I could not figure out why the behavior is different with two apparently similar tasks. I guess this is a parameter issue, but I could not find the right recipe. Any hint from your side? I have found a workaround using the PMDG_777X shortcuts, but I'd prefer an FSUIPC method only. Many thanks!
