Use of ALT+ Key combinations

[Chris Palfreyman]

Hi,

I'm trying to use my VRInsight MCP with MSFS 2020 via FSUIPC7. I simply map key combinations generated by the MCP to key combinations in the SIM. 

Most of my controls include the use of the Alt key + another key so for example Alt + H is Heading decrease. Alt + A is Altitude decrease, etc. This has been fine up until FSUICP7 but now use of the Alt key fires menu functions off (Alt + H is Help!) so the FSUIPC7 windows comes to the front and/or "dings"

Is there a way to suppress this behavior as I really don't want to have to remap all my controls?

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

sorry, but the ALT key modifier is no longer supported in FSUIPC7.

Note also that keyboard input is no longer masked, so any key assigned in FSUIPC will also be seen by the sim.

I see the alt key is still recognised in the key assignments panel. I'll remove this to avoid confusion

Thanks for you fast response (as always!) but I think I may have solved my issue anyway.

Im trying the new Linda Beta instead of using the old VriSIM program.

Kind regards, Chris
