Key Codes Problem

[ark1320]

The key codes that FSUIPC7 'sees' through SimConnect for the Page Dn, Page Up, End, Home and Insert keys seem to be incorrect. For example, the log file shows FSUIPC7 sees a key code of 99 for the Page Dn key, but it should be 34.  Key code 99 is the Num3 key code. I discovered this because the keys listed above have been triggering a Lua script even though the FSUIPC7 key assignment window, and the FSUIPC7.ini file, show these keys are not assigned.

I think this is the known key code problem in SimConnect which Asobo is supposed to have corrected -- or perhaps that is a promise for the next update? John will confirm when the holidays are over.

I know the Numpad number keys now work correctly, but don't see anything I recognize in the SDK about the keys I mentioned above.

Thanks for the response,

looks like Asobo have changed the key codes used for those keys. I have update in the attached version v7.0.4a if you would like to try it:

FSUIPC7.exe

Hi John,  Your update to FSUIPC7 seems to work as expected. Thanks very much!
