Need paramater for key press of NUM + and NUM - keys

[Turbofandriver]

Hi,

Looked everywhere and it is no easy task to find specifically what I am looking for.  I have an old but reliable FS9 running the PSS A320, I found a previous user (from years ago posting) in which you mentioned to try using the range parameter sections of the axis assignment  to force the NUM + and - keys.  I really find quite confusing and not straight forward the descriptions in the Advanced user guide. (For sure I am not that advanced nor savvy in the subject of programming) I only want to know which are the parameters for those two key presses... I have tried simply putting the + and - in the parameters box... but I understand is not the right one.  Any light in this subject could be highly appreciated.  and yes it is more than awkward using the keyboard to set the detents I do manually in the real thing!

 

Thanks again.

Do you mean by sending a key press using the Key Press & Release / Key Press/hold &  Key Release controls?
If do, the parameter will be the windows virtual key code - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes
For +/-:
    VK_ADD               0x6B   Add key
    VK_SUBTRACT    0x6D   Subtract key

Thanks for your prompt reply John,

Yes that is what I am trying to do with the key press and release control....in the box labled "Parameter" I need to know what to type in the box both for the NUM+ key in the UP ranges/detents and the NUM- key for the Down ranges. Unfortunately the PSS is no longer supported so I have to find some improvisation and experimentation to see if it works...Also the link of the long ago posting in this forum...

In summary I only need what to type in "verbatim" into the Parameters box in the up and down ranges of the keypress and release to see if it works.

Thanks again and I will keep you posted of the results.

So try 0x6B (or 107) for +, and 0x6D (or 109) for -.

John,

It works!! Now I have to fine tune the ranges since some appear to be overlapping!

 

Thanks again!
