(Auto)save with button?

[Stu Antonio]

Hi,

I can't find info on this in the manual. 
I have set up autosave with a for me comfortable interval, which works great.
Is it possible to set it to also trigger a save with the use of a button (without the P3D save prompt, just like the autosave does)? So if I have a certain event or situation I quickly want to save, I just hit a special button on my joystick an in saves so to speak in between the set intervals..? 

Thanks,
Stu

No this is currently not possible. However, it is something that is relatively easy to add and is useful so, I will add an additional FSUIPC control that manually triggers an auto-save call. This will be for FSUIPC6 (and FSUIPC7) only (FSUIPC5 is now closed for further development). I will look into this in the coming weeks.

That sounds terrific John, thank you very much!

I've added it in the attached dll if you would like to try it, v6.1.2a: FSUIPC6.dll

You can also use this new control when auto-save is disabled.

The new control is called Trigger Auto-save.

Later: I have updated the dll with a minor change (the control number has changed), so please download again if already downloaded
