Key Stroke selections eliminate key strokes in FSX GPS

[nigelgrant]

I have FSX and recently purchased the Aerosoft Twin Otter. In order to steer the float version on the water I have created four key stroke selections in FSUIPC4 to increase or decrease each engine thrust incrementally to use the engines to steer on water.

BUT these key strokes are also used by the default GPS in FSX, eg I used "V" as an incremental thrust increase for engine #1, but "V" won't post when I try to type CYVR (Vancouver) in the FSX GPS when flying the Twin Otter Float (the key strokes have only been assigned to this specific aircraft). This must be a universal problem for keystrokes being assigned because I presume the ICAO codes will utilize all the letters of the alphabet.

Any work around for this?

Any work around for this?

Yes. Use a "shift" key as well -- any of Shift, Control, Tab will do, or one of the two special keys Windows and Apps (either side of the ALT keys either side of the space bar).
