AB Building with Key Encoders

[Guest Salbado]

I am building with Hagstom Encoders and I have pinched quite a few FS controls using Dowson FSUIPC 2.94. I would like to get the "No Smoking" and "Fasten Seat Belt" chimes to work with a keystroke but I only see a mouse click working on a virtual panel to get these to chime. Since I won't be using any virtual panel I need to get a keypress identified or assigned. I also do not see the FS Controls on the 2002 Controls list for these 2 functions. Any ideas on how I might "pinch" these as keypresses so I could hook them up to a switch on the Overhead?

I have done similar. You could consider using the program Key2Mouse - freeware and excellent in use. Assign key strokes to the functions you wish and then program them into the Hagstrom. Works great.Bud

Thank you Bud...I thought that might be the way to go but I was hoping I just missed the keypress assignment somewhere in the FS world...I will try your suggestion.
