Mouse macro - recognise mouse up and mouse down

[tincan]

Hi,

In my ATR there's a "takeoff config test" button. While you press it with the mouse it will sound an alarm if the aircraft is not ready for takeoff. So the test starts on mouse button down and stops on mouse button up.

I recorded a mouse macro for this and it does work to activate the config test but it won't stop although the assigned joystick button is released. Only after I press and release the button on the panel with the mouse it will stop.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Probably. You'd need to use the same macro, but edit the result in the file to give it an appropriate parameter (a "mouseflag"). The format and parameter values (at least the ones I am aware of) are described in the FSUIPC4 Advanced Users guide. Search for the section on Mouse Macros, around pages 33-34.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Again a quick fix to a problem. Thanks, Pete!
