Key Assignements - Pusback and door opening


Recommended Posts

Hi Peter, I have been reading the manual and I understand that FSUIPC can be programmed so that the pushback, left and right as well as door openings can be programmed so that they are not as unreliable as they are under FS2004. The question is that I have not been able to work out how to program them. Could you give me a hand?.

My best wishes for Christmas and new year. Regards,

Christian Conesa.

I don't really know where you are reading that. Unfortunately, all the FS controls which needs a second key pressed afterwards, like Shift+P for pushback followed sometime by 1 or 2 for turn direction, and Ctrl+E (is it?) for Exit followed by the exit number, seem to need the latter to follow with no intervention by any other keystroke or control.

Now, whilst programming these as sequences in FSUIPC is possible (only by editing them in the INI file, as described in the Advanced User's Guide), and this should give you more reliability, it does not guarantee it.

Any button action or real key press could intervene (though this is probably unlikely). Worse, however, are those complex add-on panels which continuously send several FS controls, many times per second. It is those which cause the problems with accelerated A/P and bug adjustments. There's almost no chance of getting two normal keystrokes accepted and actioned by FS without one or more of those unwanted controls intervening.

For the door controls I had hoped that setting the door number as a parameter to the "toggle exit" control would have been accepted by FS in place of the subsequent keypress, but, alas, it is not programmed that way.

Regards,

Pete
