A fixed number control sent of repeats in FSUIPC - possible?

[SMN204]

Is it possible to set a fixed number of repeats in FSUIPC (e.g. 2... 3 at msec intervals) instead of “Repeat while held” (by infinite repetition...)?
I need several (not infinite) “Control sent” at a fixed switch position.
Since this infinite “Repeat while held” affects the other commands afterwards!

No.

Then just duplicate/overload the assignment, or use a macro. You can add a paise control (1152) in between the controls if you need a delay. Or use lua for any more detailed control.

Not sure what you mean by this.... "Repeat while held" just does as it says - it repeatedly sends the control while the button is held (i.e. from the press to the release event).
It should not affect any command send "afterwards", from another assignment.

In TFDi MD11 it is “repeatedly sends the control while the button is held (i.e. from the press to the release event)”, when the switch is in this state all the time - has affect on other commands send “afterwards”, from another assignment (where “repeatedly sends” is also used, e.g. it stops working when the speed setter increase is pressed for a long time...).

As soon as I cancel “Repeat while held” at the switch that is in this position permanently - other switches (with temporary “Repeat while held” - work normally

Please activate logging for Buttons & Switches, and show me / attach the FSUIPC7.log file showing this, together with your FSUIPC7.ini file. Repeats on one button should not affect the assignments for another button.

What do you mean by "temporary" here - there is no such thing. Assignments are either repeated or not, nothing temporary about them...

That's what I mean when the switch is in that position, not permanently, but temporarily, while I hold it down. When I let go, it moves out of that position.

Well, no switch position is ever permanent...otherwise why have a switch! Your use of the word temporary is just confusing for me...all repats, button and key, are temporary in that sense...
And none of this is related to the TFDi MD11, it is your assignments.
But I do not understand your issue, which is why I need to see a log file. This will tell me what is happening, then maybe I can make sense of your description...

I figured it out, I was the one with the problem.
The function "Repeat while held" works fine!

Ok, thanks for the update. I could not understand your issue as each button repeat should be independent, i.e. repeats on one button should not affect repeats (or not) on other buttons.
