jay960 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hello, First thank you for this amazing software FSUIPC7. It is very useful and perfectly build. I have always used it the simple way but now I want to dig more into programming some more complex stuff. I have read the manual carefully and have some things that I do not understand well so thanks in advance for the help. My first question is about programming button. In the manual, the format specify is :For keypresses: <Entry number> = <Action><Joy#>,<Btn#>,K<key>,<shifts> now in my INI file I have for example :1=PB,36,K123,8 -{Key press: F12}- 1=PB,32,K122,8 -{Key press: F11}- So PB = the action 36 = <Joy#> K123 = <Btn#> 8 = ? {things in bracket} = key press But these two are on the same Joystick, so they should have same <Joy#> somewhere. Maybe is it the number 8 ? Can anybody explain the format correctly, I certainly have missed something 😑 For the Action in the manual the letter P is explain simply for press or control. now in my example above it is writtent PB. What is the B for ? And in the manual it says if I want to repeat the key press the letter should be R. So if I want to change the above action to repeat should I write only R instead of PB ? Thank you again in advance for taking the time to help. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B is the joystick - you are using "JoyLetters" so the assigned letter is used. The mapping from joyletters to ids is stored in the [JoyNames] section of your FSUIPC7.ini file. 35 & 32 are the button numbers K123/K122 are the keys (F12/F11) 8 is the shift parameter (normal) 3 hours ago, jay960 said: For the Action in the manual the letter P is explain simply for press or control. now in my example above it is writtent PB.

PB is <Action><Joy#> , or maybe better as <Action><JoyLetter> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a complete explanation of all the parts as well as facilities for programming buttons with coditions, you should refer to the FSUIPC7 for Advanced Users manual. On page 16 a section called FORMAT OF BUTTON DEFINITIONS begins. There you'll see there are 4 alternatives for the "action" (the first letter), not just two.

jay960 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 @Pete Dowson Thanks, yes I am reading that carefully at the moment. I made a first test to start the A32nx FBW engines with my Airbus Throttle Quadrant switches and I am happy because it work nicely !! No I will look into more complexe programming 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
