1 Button = 2 FS Commands

[cfelix]

It seems that button programming will only allow one FS command to be assigned to a button. Is is possible to program one button to initiate multiple FS commands? E.G. - program button x to initiate both "Throttle3 Decr" and "Throttle4 Decr".

Yes, but you have to do it by editing the INI file. You can have almost as many assignments to one button as you like. They are actioned in the order of the line numbers (the number on the left of the =).

I didn't want to overcomplicate the assignments dialogue, which works fine for 99% of folks' needs. Once you add multiple assignments you can't edit that button in the dialogue -- it stops you so you can't mess it up. There are many things you can do with buttons in the INI file. Please see the Advanced User's guide.

You can edit assignment sections in the INI whilst FS is running and simply use the "reload" button in the dialogue to get the changes actioned.
