P3D4.5, Simconnect Display: which control to toggle it?

[Luis Hernández]

Hello everyone. I've started using P3D4.5, and immediately purchased FSUIPC6 and set it up as close as I had it for FSX-SE. In FSX-SE (and FS9 too) I use Advdisplay Toggle for seeing the messages issued by PF3. I assigned the same key to the same control in P3D4.5, but it does not react at all. However, all messages from PF3 ended up in Simconnect Window.

I asked first in the PF3 forums, but they sent me here. From what I've read, there is no longer an Advdisplay in P3D4.5. So, what control should I use for toggling on/off the Simconnect window? I can't find anything either here, the PF3 forums or even the Radar Contact ones (that also use Advdisplay).

It isn't a control, but a Hot Key, configurable on the FSUIPC Hot Keys tab in its Options.

Are you saying that doesn't work in FSUIPC6?

That did the trick. I was using the old method (Key Presses). Now it works as in FS9 and FSX. Thanks a lot!

I just tried the advdisplay toggle control and it does seem to work, but I need to send the control twice for some reason....but that' also happens if I use a hot key instead!

Both the control and the hot key use the same underlying functionality, so it surprises me that one works for you but the other not...
