Hello Pete,
thank You for Your immediate answer.
I checked things and I really wasn´t totally right with my description (sorry), but the problems with Wilco/Feelthere Airbus and PMDG MD11 (both only at FS9-versions) keep remaining.
1. You´re right, mouse macros don´t work with MSFS default panels, my memory was confused with other add-on airplanes, as I seldom use MSFS default panels.
2. I checked PMDG 747 (FS9) again and really: Most gauges now work with mouse macros, I don´t know what I made wrong before. But still the fuel control/cutoff switches make problems: the mouse macro for Engine #1 works perfect, but the mouse macros for Engines # 2, 3 and 4 also switch # 1 and not # 2, 3 or 4. This effect appears at TAB as well as assigned to a button switch. This is the only problem remaining at PMDG 747. Here are the mouse macros:
[Macros]
Module="PMDG_747400_Center.GAU"
1=Cutoff1=R1
2=Cutoff2=R1
3=Cutoff3=R1
4=Cutoff4=R1
I notice, that there is no individual "address" for the knobs (only identical "=R1" for all knobs and not, as in other cases e.g. "=R2:Xa430*X8b90"). Could this be the reason for the problem, does it mean, these knobs are programmed in some other way and not suitable for mouse macros?
3. The problems with Wilco/Feelthere Airbus and PMDG MD11 (both only at FS9-versions) keep remaining as described. I can define mouse macros and they work with TAB, but when I assign them to a button switch there is no effect when the button is pushed. I am astonished of that, too, because I also presumed, that TAB would do the same as pushing the button, when a mouse macro is assigned to it. But I think it will be a problem for You to reproduce the situation if You don´t have these Addons.
4. In spite of these problems: thank You for developing the fantastic FSUIPC over the years. My hardware home cockpit works perfect with PMDG 737-800, and this would have been impossible without FSUIPC. In addition I use WideFS for running FSCommander and Squawkbox on another PC via LAN, and this also works perfect.
