Hi all!

I am a complete FSUIPC noob, although I've been using it for quite a while. I have assigned a button (by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr5QZ_0zEpc) that basically activates reverse thrust when pressed and closes reverse when released. 

I am using P3DV4 if that matters.

I am very pleased with this method and it works great for most of my aircraft, however, I do not want this functionality in a specific jet, where I prefer a different method to activate reverse thrust and also, I'd like to use that particular button on my joystick for something else (to extend the flaps) in case of this aircraft.  Right now, when I want to extend the flaps (which is assigned via the normal P3D controls menu), it also activates the reversers, which isn't great. Long story short, I would like to ask if there is a way to exclude this and only this aircraft from that FSUIPC setting that makes that particular keypress activate/close the reverse thrust? 

Attached is my .ini file, I believe the entry for the thrust reverse activation / deactivation is under the [Buttons] tab.

Thank you kindly for your help!

Hi,

you need to look into using 'profiles'. Take a look at the section 'User profiles for all control settings' on p18 of the User Guide in your 'Modules/Documents' folder.

For your use case, you can just override the button assignment with a profile specific one for the jet in question.

Cheers,

John

I see you are also assigning in P3D as well as in FSUIPC. It is advised to disable controllers in P3D when assigning in FSUIPC, especially if you do your axis assignment in FSUIPC as P3D has a habit of automatically re-assigning if controllers are not disabled.

John.
