Hi John, HidScanner will detect the device, but only if encoder_keys is running. I attach the .log file. (I deleted my other devices from it) I tried with HidDemo.lua, but it doesn't work either. In the .lua file do I only need to edit the Vendor and Product ID? Thx Zsolt HidScanner.log

Hi John, I understand what you wrote. Thank you for taking the time to address the issue. So the encoder_keys.exe software is a keyboard emulator that is shipped with the hardware. The hardware can emulate 88 keys. The encoder_keys application reads from an .ini file which character or key combination is assigned to which key. If the encoder_keys software is running (whether in the foreground or in the background.), I can type it into the Windows text editor or browser search engine with the MCDU key, what I built. However, if I (for example) assign the character "0" in the control options in MSFS to change the external/internal view, pressing the "0" key on my USB keyboard changes the view, but pressing the key programmed for the MCDU "0" key does not change the view. So MSFS does not detect the emulated key in the Controller settings. I tried it now in Prepar3d V5, it works there. Prepar3d recognizes my MCDU keyboard without the FSUIPC. Unfortunately I don't have FSUIPC version 6. The interesting thing is that Opencockpits built this hardware into their MCDU, and I have seen others User use the same hardware to control the MCDU in MSFS, for example in YouTube videos. That is why I chose this controller. I could have built it with Arduino, but in that case I would have needed two cards. If I fail to solve this problem, I will rebuild the MCDU for Arduino control. By the way, I wrote again to Opencockpits support, unfortunately they don't reply as fast as you did. Best Regards Zsolt

Hi John, - Since you wrote that you see multiple modifiers in the .ini file, so I also created a new setting where I only used simple numbers and letters or SHIFT + number or SHIFT + letter or SCHIFT + characters combinations. Then with these new settings I configured the MCDU L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,L6 and R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6 buttons in FSUIPC. I send you two .log files. In the first one, the FSUIPC window is in the foreground for each L and R button press, in the second one, FSUIPC is running only in the background when the buttons are pressed. - It is clear from the second file that FSUIPC does not detect key presses when not in focus. - For the Keyscard, I need to use the Encoder_Keys.exe software, which does the encoding. This program detects and displays keystrokes even when not in focus. - I also tried running FSUIPC and Encoder_keys in administrator mode, but that didn't solve the problem. I tried running them both in compatible mode, but that didn't work either. Zsolt FIRST FSUIPC7.log SECOND FSUIPC7.log FSUIPC7.ini

Hi John, I am sending you the .log file. I have not changed the combinations I set. If I understood you correctly, you asked so for it. Regards Zsolt FSUIPC7.log

Hi John, 1. In the meantime, Opencockpits has replied. They wrote that Keyscard is fully compatible with FSUIPC 7. 2. Is it possible that windows 11 is causing the problem? If I have time I will try it with windows 10 too. I attach my two files: FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.log

Hi Pete, - FSUIPC 7 recognises the key strokes, I have all the MCDU pushbuttons set up and can use them perfectly, the problem is that the FSUIPC 7 window must be active. If it's not active, just running in the background, it doesn't detect the key presses. If I click on the FSUIPC window, it works perfectly again. - I have written to OpenCockpits before, but unfortunately they have not replied. They don't have a support forum, you can only send them a message. The product description states that it is compatible with FSUIPC. It is possible that it is not compatible with version 7, but that is not stated. - When I plug in the Keyscard Windows 11 sees it as two devices: 1. HID compatible, manufacturer defined device 2. USB input device -Unfortunately editing the Lua Plug-in is beyond my knowledge, I'll have to read up on it. Could you help me with how to get started? Zsolt

Hi John, Unfortunately I could not solve the problem. My USB keyscard is not a joystick controller, so Xinput Plus cannot be used. Any other ideas? Zsolt

Hi John, I use a usb keyboard emulator card from Opencockpit. USBKeys card (opencockpits.com) I don't know if this qualifies as an xinput device, but I'll try what you suggest.

I want to use my own Airbus MCDU with Flybywire Airbus. I have managed to set all the buttons, however they only work when the FSUIPC window is on top and active, if it is not active and just running in the background they do not work. I tried several variations but could not figure out what the problem was. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a similar problem in the topics, so I opened a new one. Best regards Zsolt
