Guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I've just read through the recent thread with a similar name, but it seems to only relate to using the PFC.dll system rather than using FSUIPC's controls interface. Apologies if this has been aired before. I'm trying to set up a PTT joystick button in FS that will activate the Roger Wilco transmit on the client PC. I've used the FSUIPC dialogue box to configure the joystick button to use the KeySend (WideFS) control, with parameters 1 and 2, for press and release respectively. I've added the ActionKeys=Yes line, as well as KeySend1=RWon and KeySend2=RWoff lines. However, for some reason this does not seem to be working. Is there any step I've missed? (WideFS is already set up and appears to be functioning normally with everything else). Finally, there seems to be a slight variance in the manual with respect to the Roger Wilco controls: KeySend=RWon KeySend=RWoff KeySend1=Rwon KeySend2=Rwoff Are the INI parameters case-sensitive, and if so, which of the above are correct? I've tried swapping these but to no avail. I've also tried assigning the keys on the server in the WideServer.ini instead of directly in the FSUIPC dialogue box, but again with no success.

Pete Dowson Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I'm trying to set up a PTT joystick button in FS that will activate the Roger Wilco transmit on the client PC. I've used the FSUIPC dialogue box to configure the joystick button to use the KeySend (WideFS) control, with parameters 1 and 2, for press and release respectively. Okay, that sounds fine. I've added the ActionKeys=Yes line, as well as KeySend1=RWon and KeySend2=RWoff lines. These are in the [user] section of the appropriate WideClient.ini file, as documented? However, for some reason this does not seem to be working. Is there any step I've missed? No, that seems to be correct. At least it works fine with all the versions of RW I've tested it with. I cannot guarantee it will always work with every version, as the author seems to change the Registered message names used for PTT sometimes. Are the INI parameters case-sensitive No, not at all. [Config] UseTCPIP=Yes ServerIPAddr=192.168.0.2 Window=75,81,593,489 Visible=Yes ActionKeys=Yes KeySend1=RWon KeySend2=RWoff There's your error. You have the parameters in the wrong section.

Always the obvious thing that's overlooked; problem now solved. Thanks for the quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
