Hi all..I bought a mini-key pad as I am tired of bringing the entire key board into my cockpit to pres 1-9 when ATC window pops up.I hooked up the USB mini key pad and strapped it to my yoke. The problem is when the ATC window comes and asks me which option by pressing number - I press the number on the mini key pad and nothing happens. The NUMLOCK key is on also.Any ideas to get it working ? Tks...JB

Thanks for replyYes it works fine in other applications. Funny though you ask because I tried to respond to ATC number choices using the key pad on the key pad. When I try to respond to ATC commands with the NUMLOCK ON and use the keypad numbers on the key board, FS2004 doesn't do anything with these but numbers across the top of the key board it recognizes and works fine.Any ideas ? I sure would like to have a small key pad on the yoke I can just press numbers for ATC ...many thanks for your help...JB

To me, it seems like the commands for ATC is linked to the keys and not to the keys funktion, ie. nr 1 on top of the keyboard is not the same key as 1 on numpad, but they do send same input.Perhaps you need to reconfigure the settings for ATC keycommands in flightsim so you can use numpad instead, then you should be able to use your USB extra keypad on the yoke.Just my thoughts, perhaps someone else has a better idea

Hi...thanks so much for the help. I tried to reconfigure my settings in FS2004 to reflect the mini-keypad. What I did I went inot settings and where the "Select 1" feature was set the key pad number 1 to it. I did the same for the others. For some reason the "Select xx" setting only seems to work with the numbers across the top of a full keyboard.Any ideas on how to set these settings so the key-pads work ?Many thanks...JB
