Simple Key Programming

[Badger]

Hello,

Can anyone explain how I program a simple key stroke to toggle the Nav Lights on and off?

I'd like to use SHIFT N to toggle the lights and want to understand how I would go about it so I can program other keyboard shortcuts for none existant FS controls.

Thank you

I assume you mean using FSUIPC? If so, the best place to read about it is really the User Guide for FSUIPC. it is all explained at much greater length than I could here, and with pictures!

Briefly, get into the FSUIPC options (in the Modules or Add-Ons menu, depending on which version of FS you are using). Find and click the Key Presses tab. Under where it says "Program keyboard controls here" Click the SET button where it says enter your keypress, and enter it (Shift + N as you wish). Then click the down arrow in the part below to reveal the list of controls you can assign. find the "Toggle nav lights" one and select it with the mouse, then click Confirm below, and OK to exit.

It really is explained in more depth in the user guide. that is why I wrote it.

Regards

Pete
