Hello Pete, Thanks for your quick reply. But that would happen still if one key was mapped to another. It wouldn't help at all. Regards Pete Yes, but I wouldn't care if it (the gauge) were trapping a CTRL-SHIFT-K, since I'm never going to type that combination in anywhere. If I pushed a 'K', the gauge would only respond if FSUIPC (or something similar) sent out a CTRL-SHIFT-K. As far as I can tell, FSUIPC only traps the keyboard when the FSX/FS9 windows is active. Therefore, pushing a 'K' at any other time would result in only a 'K' and the gauge wouldn't respond at that point. Well, it unfortunate that FSUIPC can't do this. I think there was another user who managed to get a mouse macro working (something that I was not able to do for this gauge). I'll have to ask him how he did it. Thanks for a wonderful product, none the less. Dave

Hello, I apologize if this item has already been covered, but I was unable to find a solution to my problem in the forum. Here it is: I'd like to be able to map one key to send to send another. For example, I'd like to be able to send a SHIFT-CTRL-K when I simply push the K key on the keyboard. The reason I'd like to do this is because I have the Reality-XP GNS 530 Gauge installed and with keyboard shortcuts turned on, the reprogrammed keys are trapped at all time. I can't use FSCopilot chat because the gauge traps the keys. I can't even enter a filename to save my flight (unless I use SHIFT) or enter text in notepad. If an airplane with the gauge is loaded, whatever keys have been programmed belong to it. There is something called "keyon focus" that is supposed to only trap keys when the focus in on FSX, but I've had no luck with it whatsoever (and Reality-XP's solution, after a week of waiting, was essentially "it should work."). Seeing how FSUIPC "plays nice" with the keyboard (i.e. let's other apps access mapped keys), having it send keystrokes that I am unlikey to use would be an adequate solution. I know I can do it with buttons (i.e. a button sends a keystroke), but I don't know how, or if, I can do it with keys. If anyone has a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it. This has turned an awesome GPS into one that I can only use off-line (unless I want to start clicking with the mouse which I don't). Thanks, Dave P.S. Oh, by the way, I'm running FSX on vista-64.
