Key only works once

[willy648]

I want to setup a button for 'throttle set' with a value of 800.

This works ok, but only once. I you press the button a second time, it does nothing. Same result if I assign a key press. Also profile specific or not gives the same outcome. Also tried 'axis throttle set' with same result.

Well, FSUIPC will be doing the same thing each time. Is this with all aircraft? Always test things with default aircraft.

This was on a pmdg737.  I have now tried this with a default aircraft (Baron - P3D v3.4)

Same result. The button only works the first time pressed. The throttle preset values 10, 20, 30 etc work fine.

Enable button and event logging (both event options) and press the button more than once. then disable those logging options before the log gets too large. Let me see the resulting log.

One thing does occur to me. If you aren't using the same axis at all for anything else, then the sim is not seeing any change on the axis -- setting value x then setting value x is no change.  Instead try assigning "press" to x+y and "release" to x where you might need to experiment with 'y'  in order to make it see it as a real change, but not have any "blip" effect in the sim. If you are assigning through FSUIPC, set the "Delta" to 1 then make y = 2, say.

If you stil have the same problem then enable button and event logging (both event options) and press the button more than once. then disable those logging options before the log gets too large. Let me see the resulting log.

Pete, just to let you know that the trick with press to x+y then release to x works fine

Many thanks
