I wouldn't have thought so. The PSS A320 was made for FS2002 and patched for FS2004 and PSS have stated that no further updates will be made. Anyway, back to my question. If I programme a button to send SHIFT+2 to toggle between the IFR and VFR panels AND to also set a flag, could I programme another button to send different key strokes depending on the state of the flag? Alternatively, I read in another post about window idents. Could a button be programmed to send different key strokes depending on the window ident? In an otherwise fantastic aircraft, this is the only thing that bugs me and I would like to find a solution. Any help, from anyone, would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Yes, it did change the altitude reading but not the actual baro reading. The PSS A320 airbus does have programmable shortcut keys for changing the baro reading but there is a well-known bug that only the baro-increase works, not the baro-decrease.

Hi Pete, Thanks for the response. I've already tried to increase or decrease the Kollsman value. I may have changed the value internally but it did not change the digital reading next to the Baro knob. Regards Bill

Hi guys, I use FSUIPC, together with Key2mouse to programme my Saitek P8000 pad to adjust the Baro knob on the PSS Airbus panel. However, this only works properly if the panel is in IFR mode. If I use another programmed button (ie programmed as "SHIFT+2") to bring up the reduced VFR panel, the Baro knob is now in a different position on the screen. Is it possible to programme a single button to send different key strokes, depending on if the IFR or VFR panel is selected? If so, could someone give me some guidance on how to do it. Many Thanks.

Hi Guys, See my earlier post where I explained that I finally got it working perfectly. I'm now going to look at similarly programming some other buttons. Many Thanks for your help.

Hi Guys, Sorted! This now works perfectly: 6=P1,27,C1005,11 7=CP(F-0,11)1,27,C1005,12 8=CP(F+0,11)(F-0,12)1,27,K119,11 9=CP(F-0,11)(F+0,12)1,27,K120,11 10=CP(F+0,11)(F+0,12)1,27,K121,11 11=CP(F-0,11)(F-0,12)1,27,K121,11 Many Thanks for your help. It was much appreciated.

Hi Guys, I've managed to get the button programming to work (sort of). I've assigned Control/Shift/F8, F9 and F10 to sellect LOW, MED and MAX Speedbrakes respectively by using the following code: [buttons] 1=P1,27,C1005,11 2=CP(F-0,11)1,27,C1005,12 3=CP(F+0,11)(F-0,12)1,27,K119,11 4=CP(F+0,11)(F+0,12)1,27,K120,11 5=CP(F-0,11)(F-0,12)1,27,K121,11 and this works perfectly. I then thought I would add: 6=CP(F-0,11)(F+0,12)1,27,K121,11 to perform a final Control/Shift F10 and switch off the MAX setting. If I use the keyboard, this works perfectly, but if I use the joystick button the sequence I get is MAX, MED, MAX, LOW......repeating. The Speedbrake never switches off. Any ideas why this is happening? I really appreciate your help so far and I am learning from it.

Pete, Thanks for that. I think I am well on my way now so I'll trysome actual programming later tonight. Cheers

Hi Guys, Let me just get this straight: 1 When you first press the button, Flag11 is toggled from 0 to 1, with Flag12 left as 0 (because Flag11 is not 0) 2 When you press the button a second time, Flag11 is toggled to 0 and Flag12 is toggled to 1 (because Flag11 is now 1) 3 When pressed for a third time, Flag11 is toggled to 1 , with Flag12 left as 1 (because Flag11 is not 0) This gives the following unique combinations for Flag11/Flag12: 1/0 0/1 1/1 My questions are, at what point are the flags reset to 0/0 ? and , how can you be sure they start at 0/0 ? Also, I've just realised I will need a fourth state where the flags are set to 0/0 to switch off the SpeedBrake. Cheers

OK. I,ll give it a go and come back to you if (when) I need some help. Many Thanks

Thanks for that. It all looks awfully complicated so I think I'll just go back to the simpler method of having three separate buttons programmed for each of the three separate functions. Many Thanks for your response.

Pete, Thanks for that. I'll try programming the buttons using the Advanced User Guide. If there are any users who have already done this and are willing to give some help, it would be very much appreciated. Many Thanks

Hi Peter, Is it possible to programme a joystick button so that it cycles through a series of key combinations?. I am thinking specifically of the PSS A320 where there are separate key combinations for the three different Speed Brake settings, ie LOW, MED, MAX. I would like to be able to either press a single key and hold it until the required setting is set, or repeatedly press the same key until the required setting is set. Is this possible? Many Thanks
