Brrrrr ! Hope we are not getting too old (=73) for this ! Forget about the F5, I never touched that, but it comes as part of the IvAp hotkey either "Ctrl+F5" or via the mouse click on the IvAp screen. Forget that now, as I understand that IvAp is not part of FS. I still do not understand your saying "Key Presses tab in FSUIPC is for detecting key presses, not buttons". As I wrote you, I have changed the WX button and some "user programmable buttons" in the Combo via the Key Presses tab and that works fine. Your reply learned me further that "I did not follow the instructions to enable ...." You mean Appendix 2 ? So I have to download and install that VSPE program ? I have not done it sofar, because someone told me that his FSUIPC and VRI were doing well without it. I will do it now.

I asked the VRI people on same subject and they replied as follows : "In your post over at the FSUIPC forum can you please ask Peter if the MCP Combo mode button is configurable in FSUIPC, if it's not Im sure he will add this feature if it is possible." When I have FS and Combo running, and I open FSUIPC (I have 3.984), then in the tab "Key Presses" I cannot "select" the MODE button. So does that means that the MCP MODE button is not configurable ? Can this be realised ?

Sorry for my incorrect "FSUIPC terminology", I try to clarify : I was able to "adjust" some buttons on the VRI Combo via FSUIPC using the tab "Key Presses". On the left side there, one can select a button (e.g. WX on the Combo) and use that button for one of the listed commands. When there is no suitable command listed, but there is a corresponding mouse click, then - on the right side of Key Presses - one can create the command via a mouse macro. On the PMDG panel, there is a mouse click spot to switch inches Hg to hPa. So I created a macro named "InchesHg/hPa" and now my WX Combo button works fine to switch from inches Hg to hPa. I did not find a command Charly/STB (or similar) in the list, but the IvAp screen shows a mouse click spot (corresponding with the IvAp hotkey Ctrl+F5) for Charly ↔ STB, hence my question was if this could be used for a macro, let's say "CharlySTB". The next step would be to connect a Combo button (e.g. MODE) to this macro. Unfortunatly, pressing F5 directly or via the macro, makes FS hang. I can now end as aboveor is there another solution via FSUIPC to work this out ?

Hello, My first topic here, so sorry if not correct ! Is there a command, for FS9 and within FSUIPC, to change the squawk from Charly ↔ Standby in the IVAP screen ? If yes, what is that command ? I would like using it to correct the MODE button on the VRInsight Combo. The standard hotkey for this command is Ctrl+F5 so I tried to create a mouse macro for this, but when hitting the F5 key, FS9 becomes inactive. Or is there another solution via FSUIPC to work this out ?
