Programming buttons for opening aircraft doors

[Jure]

Hello Pete,

Could you please help me clear this bit of code I wrote for opening aircraft exits?

Using FS9, FSUIPC version 3.7.5.0, Saitek Yoke and two throttle quadrants

Key "K" assigned in FS to "Select exit"

Code in FSUIPC.ini:

[buttons]

1=P3,16,K75,8

2=P3,18,K75,8

3=P3,18,K50,8

4=P1,0,K75,8

5=P1,0,K51,8

6=P1,2,K75,8

7=P1,2,K52,8

Line 1 should open main exit (but. 16 on joy 1) = key "K" (correctly opens main exit)

Lines 2 and 3 should open second exit (but. 18 on joy 1) = key "K" then "2" (opens main exit)

Lines 4 and 5 should open main cargo door (but. 0 on joy 2) = key "K" then "3" (opens main exit)

Lines 6 and 7 should open 2nd cargo door (but. 2 on joy 2) = key "K" then "4" (opens main exit)

EDIT: Forgot to add that pressing keys "K" alone and "K" with "2","3" and "4", respectively, correctly open all the doors as it should.

What am I missing here? My old brain is turning to clay...

Thank you in advance! :)

Regards,

Jure

Why not use the FS controls instead of Key Presses? There's a control for the doors, and SELECT 14 controls for the selections. I think they should work better. Never did like keypresses. All they do is get converted to FS controls in any case. Better to use them direct where you can.

Either way, please use the FSUIPC logging (keys and buttons, events too) to see what it is seeing and doing.

I couldn't find more than one Aircraft Exit in FS Controls and went straight to key presses! Of course, now it makes perfect sense.... Select 1, 2,3,4... :roll: Thank you very much for the advice!

Out of curiosity, I will also check the logs to see what is going on.

Thanks again!

Hi again, Pete,

I am glad to say that using FS Controls to assign four aircraft exits to joy buttons worked perfectly!

I learned something new and I think I'll get more adventurous now... 8)

Much obliged!
