Yes, using a lua script. You can use the event.control function to listen for the key event, and in the handling function use the the ipc.macro function to execute the macro. Please see the FSUIPC Lua Library document on how to use these functions.

Awesome.... Thanks John
Not at my SIM pc - but just had some time here at office to play around... can you confirm this will work.

The intension is to "Flight Director Toggle" (The mouse macro is working and is saved as FD.MCRO)

In the Flight_Director.lua

function FLIGHT_DIRECTOR()
ipc.macro("FD")
end
event.control(66288,“FLIGHT_DIRECTOR”)

In the FSUIPC.ini

[LuaFiles]
1=Flight_Director

[AUTO]
1=Lua Flight_Director

//Thanks again for a great product
