Hi Pete, I´m trying to get the key code for the PM CDU "Menu" On my keyboard (German keyboard) I can reach "Menu" with Control + F11 (777) How can I enter the Control on top of the value 122 (=F11)?? I also tried editing the FSUIPC ini entering the following line: 82=P68,13,C2997,122,10 But with no luck. Please help me to get it right. Thanks a very lot in advance. Best regards Peter

Hi Nico, infact I forgot the mask, but it still didn´t do what it was expected to. So I experimented a bit and read Pete´s chapter about MCP747 button programming again and again and there he stated that there are 32bits per address. So I changed the value "No. of bytes in address" from 1 to 4 and voila the switches are nicely recognized by FSUIPC. Now all works like it should. Again thank you very much for your prompt and kind help. Best rgds Peter

Hi Pete and Kiko, thank you both very much for your help. Of course I would never blame Pete or his FSUIPC. We all have to be very, very thankful to Pete for his excellent work and support. Unfortunately the Aerosoft 747MCP does not bring too much of a description with it. It´s obviously enough for programmers but simply not for mainly Hardware oriented guys like me. Again thank you so much for your help. Best regards Peter

Hi Pete, I try to use Aerosoft MCP´s expansion board to program 288 buttons in FSUIPC. According to Nico Kaan the varaibles.txt in MCP user data should be extended with following lines: Green,13120,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 0 Green,13120,1,2,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 1 Green,13120,1,4,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 2 Green,13120,1,8,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 3 Green,13120,1,16,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 4 Green,13120,1,32,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 5 Green,13120,1,64,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 6 Green,13120,1,128,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 7 Green,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, Yellow,13121,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 8 Yellow,13121,1,2,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 9 ..... Green,13155,1,128,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 7 Which in fact represents 288 buttons. Sofar all is clear, but when pushing buttons it happens that FSUIPC wouldn´t recognize them all, except using Nico´s variables.txt which looks like this: Green,13120,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 0 Green,13121,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 8 Green,13122,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 16 Green,13123,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 24 Green,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, Green,13124,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS65: but 0 Green,13125,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS65: but 8 This however is far less than 288 buttons. What´s wrong with my variables.txt that FSUIPC wouldn´t recognize a button other than 0;8;16;24 MCP however recognizes all buttons flawlessly. It seems FSUIPC only accepts 1 Bit per used Byte. Hope it is clear what I meant. Any hint highly appreciated. Thank you Best rgds Peter

Hi Pete, please ignore this post as with the great help of Nico Kaan I got the thing going. Best rgds Peter

Hi Pete, having some understanding problem of the Aerosoft MCP747 variables list, where you can define up to 288 virtual buttons. Studied your and Nico Kaan´s description and examples, but can´t figure out what to change in order to be able to set all bits (buttons) on 1 virtual joystick. As I understand there are 36 virtual joysticks possible within FSUIPC´s button page with 8 buttons per virt. joystick. I understand the address 13120 can have 8 buttons, 13121 has 8 buttons.....13155. Example: Green,13120,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 0 Green,13121,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS64: but 8 .... Green,13124,1,1,0,1,0,0,JS65: but 0 So what do I have to set to address buttons 1 thru 7 for JS64 for example?? Any help highly appreciated
