Hi Pete , Everything working very well .Perfect. Do you know what this means ? We can use now a simple hacked keyboard ( US 5 )and have almost a hundred switches working , instead of an eletronic device which must be programmed ,etc . Thank you . Best regards Alberto

Hi Pete , Yes , I see both key down and keyup using Diview . regards Alberto.

Hi Pete , I am trying to do the OHD panel the most realistic possible , it's obvious that we will have some limitations . As you know the majority of switches in the OHD panel are toggle switches and I was trying to use a toggle switch exactly like in the original OHD panel. A switch in "on" position in the OHD panel would be a toggle hardware switch in the "on" position , the toggle switch closed , key pressed . Maybe I have to use some sort of push button simulating a toggle switch , if I do not get to have the above limitation solved.Is this a Windows limitation ? If you or any other reading this one have any idea ,please let me know. In meantime I will continue trying to use this excellent software . Thanks and regards Alberto

Pete , On time , I am using a hacked keyboard , no other circuit .I have opencokpits key send circuit but I am not using it by now. regards Alberto

Pete, The keyboard "T" I am using for the switch of the Spoiler A and the keyboard "A" I am using it for the switch of the SbyRdrB , I am not doing any combination of keyboard keys . regards Alberto

Pete, The SbyRdrB really have a number in excess , see below the macro I have produced and it works. [Macros] Module="PMDG_737NG_OHD_Flight_Controls.GAU" 1=SbyRdB=R2 Another problem I found now refers to sequence of keys press and keys release . For instance , if I have two (2) keys pressed and did not release the keys in the same sequence I pressed them , only the first key released will work , the second one when released will not have any effect in the panel. T & A ( keys pressed in this sequence ) if I release T & A ( same sequence ) no problem . T & A ( keys pressed in this sequence ) if I release A & T ( sequence different from key pressed sequence ) only the A will work , no action when released T. Sorry if I sometimes repeat the problem , as English is not my native language I try to be more clear than necessary . Thanks and regards Alberto

Pete , Thanks for Version 3.823 now the problem above was corrected. I have two other problems : 1) The SbyRdrB is not working , there is no way to do it works, below is a copy of the 737OHD.macro I am using , think that in SbyRdrB there is a number in excess (1). Module8="PMDG_737NG_OHD_Flight_Controls.GAU" 161=SbyRdrA=R8:1 162=SbyRdrB=R8:21 163=AltFlpArm=R8:3 164=AltFlpUp=R8:8 165=AltFlpDn=R8:7 166=SplrA=R8:4 167=SplrB=R8:5 168=YD=R8:6 2) The " No repeats " does not works at the first time that you check the box, only if you return to tab "Keys" and check that box again. Hope these are not a big problem for you. Thanks a lot. Regards Alberto

Pete, I will try to show you what I am doing. Very simple , I am assigning " keys" to buttons and switches of the Overhead panel of 737 PMDG . For instance , I will assign the letter "U" to turn on and off the SbyRdrA switch. 1) In the tab Keys of FSUIPC I assign the letter U. 2) In box " Control sent when keys pressed " I put 737OHD:SbyRdrA " ( from the listing ) 3) In box " Control sent when keys released " I put 737OHD:SbyRdrA " ( from the listing ) 3) I check the "No repeats " box 4) Click in "OK", and that it's.When keeping the key "U" pressed the switch( of OHD 737 PMDG panel ) goes to off position and when released the switch goes to on position . Up to here fine. In FSUIPC.ini , I got one line more: N85,8,M1:161,0,M1:161,0. After turn off the FS and turn on again ,when the key "U" is pressed the switch goes to off position and when key "U" is released nothing happen ,the switch remains in the off position. Sorry to take your time. Regards Alberto

Pete , I just installed the version 3.822 , and problem remains.

Pete , I am using the lasted version of FSUIPC , I suppose. In tab "About+ Register" I saw version 3.817 dated 16 July 2008 , the version I download is the lasted in your site , Version 3.20. The problem occurs with any key. The instruction in " Control sent when main key released " box is not there when I turn on the FS after it has been turn off. When I assign the keys it works 100% , the instruction in "Control sent when main key released " box is there , it is wonderful , the problem is when I turn on the FS after it has been turn off the " Control sent when main key released " box is blank. Hope to have been clear now. Best regards Alberto

Pete , Thanks for the new FSUIPC , but I have noted a problem ,I do not know if is a misinterpetration from my side or a bug. I am using the macros( with keys ) for the OverHead panel of the 737PMDG and noted that the 2nd instruction , "when key is released ", disappear when I return back after the FS be turn off ,this means that every time I turn off the FS in the next time I turn on the FS the 2nd instruction is blank. Any idea why this ? Thanks and regards Alberto

Great news Pete . We flight simulator guys have to put in someplace your estatue , you are exceptional . God bless you . Best regards Alberto

Pete , Would be something like " do not repeat while held ". This in " Keys ". Regards Alberto

Pete , Would be possible to have in FSUIPC , in "Keys" , something like you have in " Buttons" related to keep the key pressed ? This means to use the keys of a hacked keyboard connected to a toggle switch , without the key remaining repeating . Regards. Alberto
