Key assignments

Hello Mr. When I select a button on the airplane panel, how can I know the event ID code number that button is to be assigned to a switch on my joystick or a switch in my own simulator cabin? Many of the functions of the cabin such as levers, and axes I can assign them without any problem to the main screen of the FSUIPC. I can also assign buttons that I know what they are called on the airplane panel and assign them to the FSUIPC. But if there is a button or switch that does a certain function on the panel and I want to use my joystick to perform that same action. I am also using the FSInterrogate2std but I have had no luck finding the code I am looking for. I very much appreciate your response.

Use the logging features (in FSUIPC's logging tab) - you can activate non-axis events to see what controls are being sent when you activate your button or switch, and then use that.

Mr. John Dowson.

I remain eternally grateful for your help. Your answer has opened many doors for me. Thank you.

No problem. Its worth taking a look at both the User Guide and the Advanced User Guide, both should be available in the FSUIPC Documents folder, located under the Modules folder, where FSUIPC is installed.
