[Problem with tab key presses usage...]

Thank you Peter for your response. You are very responsive.

Actually I have a little trouble with the concept of offset and control. But I'll get there!

The tests I've done with the software encoder_keys writing in Notepad gives me the impression of being conclusive. Indeed the action keys on the CDU seem correct in Notepad.

I used the parameters 1 and 0 because this is what is written in the PMDG SDK :

This sample code sets the TAXI lights switch:

// Send another command only if there is no active command request

// and previous command has been processed by the NGX

if (Control.Event == 0)

{

Control.Event = EVT_OH_LIGHTS_TAXI; // = 69749

if (New_TaxiLightSwitch)

Control.Parameter = 1;

else

Control.Parameter = 0;

SimConnect_SetClientData (hSimConnect, PMDG_NGX_CONTROL_ID,

PMDG_NGX_CONTROL_DEFINITION,

0, 0, sizeof(PMDG_NGX_Control), &Control);

}

In this case, the transmitted event is EVT_OH_LIGHTS_TAXI. The

available events are listed in the PMDG_NGX_SDK.h file. The control

parameter in this case is either 0 or 1 and determines the position the

switch should be placed into.

Note how the code checks that the NGX has no pending events to

process by checking that Control.Event == 0.

In fact if I configure the following FSUIPC and if I press the keys A and B then A then it appears AABBAA

for A :

ctrl+F10 ; Control sent when keys pressed : 70205 ; Parameter : 1 ; Control sent when main key released : 70205 ; Parameter : 0 ; No repeats!

for B :

ctrl+F9 ; Control sent when keys pressed : 70206 ; Parameter : 1 ; Control sent when main key released : 70206 ; Parameter : 0 ; No repeats!

and the log of this action :

Yet it seems to me that it should work.

Otherwise by reprogramming the control KeyUp with unused, it does not work better.

Hello Peter,

First of all I allow myself to congratulate you for all the work which you provide for FSUIPC. I have used it for several years and really this program is fantastic and it gives me any satisfaction.

Today, I have a problem in trying to use FSUIPC 4,853, P3D 1.4, PMDG 737 NGX SP1C and a CDU Opencockpits V2 equipped with an interface USBKey which emulates a keyboard.

With this intention, I connect the CDU on an USB port of my computer, then I start a programme encoder_keys written by Opencockpits which allows mapper all the keys of CDU as one wishes it thanks to a file encoder_keys.ini. For example when I press on key A of my CDU, encoder_keys sends sequence CTRL+F10. I made all mapping while avoiding using the native orders P3d or then I removed them in P3d. I also paid attention not to use the sequence ALT which can pose problems.

In FSUIPC, I select the tab Key Presses, then I click on the Set button then I press on key A of my CDU. FSUIPC detects pressing the A key as ctrl+F10. So far everything is OK. From there, I select custom Control and enter 70205 (69632+573) which is offset PMDG for letter A of left CDU. I put 1 in parameter. If I make the test in this way, I initialize FSUIPC with this configuration and when I press A on the CDU, letter A is display correctly on CDU but if I press for the second time or for the third time on A, it does not occur anything any more. It is identical which I notch No repeats or not. If I add offset 70205 in the section Control key hand feels When released with parameter 0, then with each striking on key A, the A is displayed 2 times on the screen of CDU. And it is similar which I notch or not No repeats.

I have this same problem on all the keys of CDU (letters and functions).

In the FSUIPC4.ini :

[Keys]

"

"

"

111=N121,10,70205,1,70205,0

I browsed many forums but I did not find any information regarding this problem. Maybe I missed. In addition, my English in not so good. It does not help me.

Thank you in advance for your replay.

[Problem FSCDbManager with Network]

Hi,

Until now I used FS Commander 9.1 with FSX and everything worked fine. I just installed Prepar3d 1.3 (PC 1) and I just update Fs Commander 9.1 by 9.2 (PC 2). I made maps of drives/folders correctly. For information, it works with the G-Map software. In FS Commander, when I run FSCDbManager, I see local disks (PC 2) but does not see network drives (PC 1). In Windows Explorer I have network drives with letters assigned. I have read - write - changes right on network drives. I use Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.

Please help me !!!
