ark1320 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Hi Pete, Under the general FSUIPC.ini section I have the Saitek hat switch defined as below using conditional button programming. When conditional on button 8 (position1 of the Saitek Mode Switch), the Hatswitch brings up pop-up panels. When conditional on button 10 (position 3 of the Saitek Mode Switch), the Hatswitch is used for view panning. [buttons] ….. !399=Hat Switch !400=Yoke 1 - Mode Switch 1 (sw 8 ) - PopUp view function 401=CP(+Y,8)Y,32,C65908,0 ; PopUp 3 = <Shift>3 (usually the GPS) Hat switch UP 402=CP(+Y,8)Y,36,K35,8 ; Kneeboard = Hat SW DOWN 403=CP(+Y,8)Y,38,C65907,0 ; PopUp 2 = <Shift>2 (usually the radio stack) Hat SW LEFT 404=CP(+Y,8)Y,34,C65906,0 ; PopUp 1 = <Shift>1 (usually 2D cockpit panel) Hat SW RIGHT !409=Yoke 1 - Mode Switch 2 (sw 9) - More PopUp view functions 410=CP(+Y,9)Y,32,C65912,0 ; PopUp 7 = <Shift>7 (Radar?)Hat switch UP 411=CP(+Y,9)Y,38,C65911,0 ; PopUp 6 = <Shift>6 Hat switch LEFT 412=CP(+Y,9)Y,36,C65909,0 ; PopUp 4 = <Shift>1 (FMC panel in 737 % 747) Hat SW DOWN 413=CP(+Y,9)Y,34,C65910,0 ; PopUp 5 = <Shift>5 Hat switch RIGHT !429=Yoke 1 - Mode Switch 3 (sw 10) - Pan view function 430=CR(+Y,10)Y,32,C65734,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_UP 431=CU(+Y,10)Y,32,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 432=CR(+Y,10)Y,33,C65856,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_RIGHT_UP 433=CU(+Y,10)Y,33,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 434=CR(+Y,10)Y,34,C65672,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_RIGHT 435=CU(+Y,10)Y,34,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 436=CR(+Y,10)Y,35,C65857,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_RIGHT_DOWN 437=CU(+Y,10)Y,35,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 438=CR(+Y,10)Y,36,C65735,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_DOWN 439=CU(+Y,10)Y,36,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 440=CR(+Y,10)Y,37,C65855,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_LEFT_DOWN 441=CU(+Y,10)Y,37,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 442=CR(+Y,10)Y,38,C65671,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_LEFT 443=CU(+Y,10)Y,38,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 444=CR(+Y,10)Y,39,C65854,0 ; Hat Switch - PAN_LEFT_UP 445=CU(+Y,10)Y,39,C66416,-1 ; Hat Switch - PAN_VIEW -1 After I defined a new Learjet35A profile I redefine the above blue highlighted pop-up hat switch Left and Right positions, which are conditional on button 8, for the new profile as shown below. These new definitions work as expected, but I was surprised to find that I could no longer pan Left and Right in the new profile even though panning is conditional on button 10, not button 8. All the other Hatswitch pan positions work in the new profile, but nothing happened at all with the Left and Right positions of the Hatswitch. This Learjet35 profile was based on an existing Regional Jet profile, but the Regional Jet profile has no Hatswitch button definitions . To fix the panning problem in the new Lear35A profile I had to copy the 4 red button statements from the general button area into the new profile. Is that the way it should work with conditional button definitions with respect to a new profile? Thx, Al FSUIPC4.949k, FSX Deluxe/SP1/SP2, Win7/64.

Is that the way it should work with conditional button definitions with respect to a new profile? It isn't related to the conditions at all. If a button is programmed for use in the overriding Profile assignments then any programming for the same button is ignored in the generic assignments. To not do so would tend to cause more confusion that less in my opinion. What is stopping your generic RED assignments working in the Profile is the assignment of Y34 and Y38 in that Profile. The conditions aren't relevant to this. Pete
