How to make everything aircraft specific?

[sbclark]

Hi,

Below is a portion of my FSUIPC4.INI file. My question is, I want to make all the entries in the {Keys] section aircraft specific. In this case, I want to make everything F1_Cessna_Mustang1. As you can see, I screwed up by not checking the “Aircraft specific?” check box.

Is there an easy way to do this without having to redo all the items listed under [Keys]? Can I just change the label [Keys] to [Keys.F1_Cessna_Mustang1]?

Yes, exactly so, if that is the exact aircraft title as shown in the FSUIPC log file.

But you might want to also set "ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring" in the [General] section (find the line there and change it). Then you could instead use a name like "Mustang" and have the keys operate all of your Mustangs, if you have more than one paint job, for example.

Thank you Sir!

Pete,

I did what you said; I made both these segments the same as you see below. Unfortunately, many of my key presses now no longer work. If I change it back to the original as per my message at the top of this thread, then they work. The name of the aircraft is correct.

You cannot have two sections with the same name! Each section name has to be completely unique. Only one of those sections will be working.

You didn't say you wanted to merge two separate sets of assignments! Sorry, I evidently misunderstood.

Unfortunately, many of my key presses now no longer work. If I change it back to the original as per my message at the top of this thread, then they work.

Ah, so what you posted originally wasn't what you wanted to achieve, as I thought, but what you had already?

You'll have to renumber one set and move it into the other. Here, like this:

[Keys.F1_Cessna_Mustang1]

1=48,8,66776,0

2=117,10,66784,0
