Missing View Command?

[farronb]

Hello, Pete--

FSUIPC has come to my rescue to restore a number of FS9 keyboard commands that no longer respond from the keyboard (eg, Shift+Z). The one command in can't find and set in FSUIPC is the "W" key that is called Panel On/Off in FS9's command list. Is this command available for keyboard programming in FSUIPC, and if so, what is it called in your command list?

Thanks for your help and another fine job of updating FSUIPC.

FSUIPC has come to my rescue to restore a number of FS9 keyboard commands that no longer respond from the keyboard (eg, Shift+Z).

The default assignment in FS for Shift+Z is the "Coordinates/Frame Rate Cycle" command. It is listed and assigned, unless you've de-assigned it for some reason? It's the control called "Readouts flight" in the controls lists and in FSUIPC's dropdowns.

The one command in can't find and set in FSUIPC is the "W" key that is called Panel On/Off in FS9's command list. Is this command available for keyboard programming in FSUIPC, and if so, what is it called in your command list?

Why not assign it in FS? The FSUIPC list actually uses the "official" FS names for these, as seen in the FS9.CFG file, and as listed in my "list of FSxxxx controls" documents -- the FS2004 one is included in the recent FSUIPC ZIP packages. It gets these names automatically from the FS "CONTROLS.DLL", which is also where FS gets the names from when writing the FS9.CFG file.

Looks like the "official" control name is "Panel hud toggle".

Regards,

Pete

Thanks, Pete. I assigned SHIFT+Z in FSUPIC and will try "W" (Panel HUD toggle), first in FS, then in FSUIPC.
