When and where, thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the quick reply as usual. I will try this when I get home and report back, at work right now.

I have been assigning keys to buttons on my Saitek Throttle Quadrants and changed my mind on some and that is when it all started. First I cleared the assignment then I assigned a different key and it won't take it. It also kept the original assignment but it does not show up in FSUIPC4. When pressing the Quadrant's buttons in question it shows nothing, however in FSX the cleared keys (ctrl + ., F9, and F12) still function on those buttons. Please don't tell me to delete the .ini file, I spent hours getting the axis assignments right. Thanks

Pete, thank you very much, it worked perfectly. As you know in the B737 after the gear is raised and locked you need to to turn the gear off to take pressure of the hydraulics. This is accomplished by moving the gear lever half way down. I am using an unused lever in my throttle quadrants as the gear lever, that is why I needed to assign a key press to an axis, again thank you.

Wow, thanks. I would never have figured that out. Will have to study that more to understand it all. I will try it tonight and let you know.

I can't get a grip on the keyboard parameters in FSUIPC. I have taken one of my Axis and set it up to raise gear and lower it for the PMDG 737 NGX, easy enough. Then I read in the manual that you can assign "Key Presses" to an axis. So I setup the axis with 3 events. The top portion of the stroke to raise the gear going "up", the bottom portion to lower the gear going down the center portion to turn the gear off, going down. The gear off is done by key presses - CTRL + G. This is where I don't get it. The key press is set in "Parameters" under "Control sent went range entered" in "This side to send button controls" in "Axis Assignment" tab. In the "Advanced" manual there is a key parameter reference section that is a bit confusing to me. For "CTRL + G" I thought I needed The "parameter" 71 + 2, but it doesn't work. Anyone get how the parameters work, thanks.

Have you ever solved this problem? I have the same problem and cannot find a fix. An axis value is a signed integer representing the position of the joystick along that axis, value ranging from -16xxx to 16xxx. The value range of the second quadrant 2 left levers is -16xxx to 0, 16xxx, where zero (typically represents 50% of travel) physically ends up at the top of the lever travel just 2-3mm short of stop. When the very top is reached the value suddenly jumps to 16xxx.
