thank you very much for the quick response,
the switch i mean is on the default 747 400 it is the engine display it can be chaned to show information on engine start up eicas 1/2 not listed as that maybe as you say noy key command,i am building my own sim at a struggle,unfortunatley i do not understand programming but am busy reading about fsuipc,also i am stumbling along making panels from dismanteld usb joysticks,this is all good as long as i am using push to make buttons,toggles dont seem to work if i use more than 2 off each usb controller like i say im no programmer so this could take me a long time,i am finding the forums here a gold mine of usefull information and will be spending alot of time reading and learning new ways to do stuff,and from what i have read so far your the main man,
thank you for your help
