Issues with Touchbuddy and FS9/FSX

Featured Replies

Hi All,I thought I would query this forum to see if others, who have successfully used TouchBuddy software, happen to be experiencing similar issues regarding TouchBuddy with either FS9 or FSX.The crux of my problem is that I have been unable to send Elevator up/down trim commands to FS9 or FSX. When I do send a command, all that happens is that the view changes or flickers, but the trim wheel does not move at all (when viewed in the virtual mode with the view).To move the trim wheel in manual mode, via a standard keyboard, all that is necessary is to do the following:1) Turn off the Num Lock pressing Num Lock key (if Num Lock light is on)2) Press either Num Pad 1 or Num Pad 7 to cause the trim wheel movement.3) Turn on the Num Lock by pressing Num Lock key (if Num Lock light was previously on)I have tried the following TouchBuddy commands both in the Client-Server and Local modes without success:Example 1 (type = button)macro = rawkey:NUMPAD7, EXTENDEDKEYmacro = rawkey:NUMPAD7, EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUPExample 2 (type = button)macro = predef:SHIFT, KEYDOWNmacro = predef:NUMPAD7macro = predef:SHIFT, KEYUPExample 3 (type = hold)macro_select = predef:SHIFT, KEYDOWNmacro_select = predef:NUMPAD7, KEYDOWNmacro_deselect = predef:NUMPAD7, KEYUPmacro_deselect = predef:SHIFT, KEYUPHere is what works, Num Pad keys work with Falcon 4.0 Allied ForceHere is what I think, if any of you have been able to make the trim function work, then I have to suspect there is a issue with my FS9 or FSX configuration or add-on causing this issue.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So what I'm looking for from you as help:1) Have you experienced this before, if so, is there a solution or workaround?2) Any suggestions as to any other command sequence(s)?3) Any ideas on how else I can better troubleshoot this?Bill
