alexchard Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hello, I am trying to set up multiple PTT Switches in my Simulator using MSFS, FSUIPC and VPilot. I have 3 Buttons assigned to press the "Oemtilde" key however when I tick the "Key Press to repeat while held" check box it does not apply the setting when I press OK? Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've attached my FSUIPC7.ini file. Thanks, Alex Chard FSUIPC7.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because you have assigned to send the key press (@key) on button release - you are not sending any keys on button press: Quote 1=UB,6,K192,8 -{Key press: '@key}- 2=UB,4,K192,8 -{Key press: '@key}- 3=UJ,0,K192,8 -{Key press: '@key}- If you want to send the key repeatedly while the button is being held, you need to assign on the button press not release.

alexchard Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 John, is it possible to have one button press that can send two Keyboard commands at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - just comment out the first assignment in your ini (i.e. insert a semi-colon after the = sign on the assignment line in your FSUIPC7.ini) when you have the the button assignments panel open, then press the Reload all buttons button once you have saved the changes. Next, assign the second keypress to the button then click Ok. Then, open the button assignments panel again, remove the semi-colon you inserted to comment-out the first assignment in your FSUIPC7.ini and save the file, then click the Reload all buttons button again. Or you can just duplicate the assignment line in your ini, update the assignment line number to make it unique, and then change the key code (the number after the K) to the key code of the key you want to send - no point changing the comment as this will get rewritten based upon the actual assignment.
