FSUIPC - Additional KEy Presses

[bkluver]

Hi and Help!,

I have been trying to set my sim up with a usb keyboard encoder and everything works really great with the fantastic FSUIPC.

In the FSUIPC program I set the key presses up to have four engine starters, and this works perfectly, but I am unable to find the 'Fuel Flow' command for each enige so I can get the enines to run and then get them to shut off again whe I am finished. Am I missing something or is it impossible to do? ( Iam a bit of a novie when it comes to programming.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Barrie

What has "programming" got to do with it? There's no programming involved for asuch things, only assignment of buttons to controls.

If you check FS's own help you would find that the jet fuel idle/cut off levers are controlled by the Ctr;+Shift+F4 and Ctrl+Shift+F1 short-cuts, which in fact are the "Mixture Rich" and "Mixture Lean" controls --- FS actually controls the fuel flow valves using the mixture controls (which makes sense when you think about it).

So, for separate engine start levers simply assign a lever each to "Mixture1 rich", "Mixture2 rich" etc when "On" (or "Pressed"), and "Mixture1 lean", "Mixture2 lean" etc when "off" (or "Released").

Please use FSUIPC's event logging (on the Logging page) when wanting to find out what control does what. With that enabled, when you operate the control in the cockpit, whether by mouse or keyboard, or button, it will be logged in the FSUIPC log and you can read its name there.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your help. It worked perfectly. I am learning new things each day. I will enablethe event logger and see if I can learn more.

Cheers,
