Hipp0 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to assign the CDU LSKs to my Thrusmaster MFD buttons (in case you're not familiar with this, it's just a game controller with around 30 momentary push buttons). The only way that I can see to do this is via the keyboard. In the NGX, you can hold down the tab key and then press a function key (F1 - F12) to press the corresponding LSK on the CDU. So, I've gone in to FSUIPC as usual and just set up the MFD buttons to assign the appropriate keystrokes tab-F1, etc. And it works, but very unreliably (only about 1 in 4 button presses is recognised correctly). I suspect that what is required is more of a delay between holding down the tab key and the FN key; i.e. it should be something like hold down tab key , wait 0.5s, press FN key, release FN key, wait 0.5s, release tab key. I suspect that the default delay between the keystrokes is much less. Is there any way to do this? Or, if anyone can suggest another way that I can map the LSKs to my controller (or for that matter the CDU function keys - MENU, LEGS, etc), I'd be very grateful to hear about it. Thanks.

Andydigital Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 If Windows sees your device as a joystick and you can assign the buttons on it in FS itself without problems then give LINDA a look at the link below, LINDA already has a profile for the NGX and its CDU, see if the LSKs work OK through that profile. http://forum.avsim.net/forum/424-linda/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipp0 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Many thanks for replying, LINDA solves my issue and works flawlessly, I had seen LINDA on previous searches, but had been reluctant to install yet another add-on. However, your post got me to give a it go, and I must say I am blown away. And btw, to whoever did the config for the NGX -THANK YOU - I can only begin to imagine how much time and work it must have taken, having tinkered with lua + FSUIPC in the past.
