Hey there, ive made aircraft specific settings for every button on my joystick, which has 30 buttons +

So now when i choose a different aircraft i have nothing, is there a way to make those settings general for all aircraft? 

 

Or at least is there a way to copy it into another aircraft?

I think one way would be to edit your ini flle and copy the sections

 

eg I have a section like [buttons.PMDG 737] for the NGX and like this [buttons] for generic aircraft.

 

Just find the section for the aircraft you have programmed and copy it into the [buttons] section

No you just copy the data below the header

 

eg in my ini file I have the below

 

[buttons]
ButtonRepeat=20,10
1=RB,0,C65607,0
2=RB,1,C65615,0
3=PA,4,C66079,0
4=PA,5,C66080,0
7=PA,10,K97,8
8=PA,11,K123,8
9=PA,7,C65752,0

 

[buttons.PMDG 737]
0=PA,9,K88,9
1=PB,4,K86,10
2=PB,5,K86,11
3=PB,6,K66,10
4=PB,7,K66,11
5=PA,0,K88,10
6=PA,8,K90,10
8=RB,11,C65602,0
9=UB,11,C65604,0
11=PA,1,K67,10

 

so to make the 737 buttons apply as generic I copy that section into the generic buttons section like this.

 

[buttons]
0=PA,9,K88,9
1=PB,4,K86,10
2=PB,5,K86,11
3=PB,6,K66,10
4=PB,7,K66,11
5=PA,0,K88,10
6=PA,8,K90,10
8=RB,11,C65602,0
9=UB,11,C65604,0
11=PA,1,K67,10

 

To make the 737 buttons apply to another specific aircraft only you could copy that same section into the header for the new aircraft like this

 

[buttons.PMDG Jetstream 41]

0=PA,9,K88,9
1=PB,4,K86,10
2=PB,5,K86,11
3=PB,6,K66,10
4=PB,7,K66,11
5=PA,0,K88,10
6=PA,8,K90,10
8=RB,11,C65602,0
9=UB,11,C65604,0
11=PA,1,K67,10

 

There may be an easier way to do this but I am happy editing files etc so thats the way I would do it. Only takes a few seconds anyway.
