Tom68 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 FSX, SP2, registered copy of FSUIPC (ver 4.974), Windows 7. I'm trying to create a mouse macro using the user's guide. No matter what I do, I never see the green popup dialog. I've tried multiple controls in the A2A B17G and Captain Sim C130. I even tried to exactly duplicate the example in the user guide of the Beechcraft King using the Master Warning button. The Create Macro button is present and seems to work. I hit it and it changes to End Macro. But when I hit OK on the FSUIPC dialog and then use my mouse to actuate any controls, the green dialog never pops up. What am I missing?

In FSX very few aircraft do -- exepialy not those which use XML gauges. They need to be gauges written in C++ abiding by the FS2002 SDK rules. Many of Microsoft's own models don't support them either. It's a bit of post luck. 5 hours ago, Tom68 said: I even tried to exactly duplicate the example in the user guide of the Beechcraft King using the Master Warning button. Is that the default King Air? 2D cockpit? 5 hours ago, Tom68 said: The Create Macro button is present and seems to work. I hit it and it changes to End Macro. You enter a name you the macro file I assume? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom68 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes it was the default. Not sure if it was the 2D cockpit, but I'll try it. And yes, I did enter a filename. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom68 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I must have been using the virtual cockpit. I just tried it and made sure it was the 2D and it worked. However, if you're saying it won't work with the A2A & Captain Sim planes, it won't be useful for me anyway. But thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that, only that it doesn't work with many later add-ons. I don't have to test on. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
