Hello, I just bought the MD-11 but I can't seem to assign a button press from my Saitek Pro Flight throttles to open certain panels. I have FSUIPC registered version. Is it possible the MD-11 does not recognise the button press for some reason. My PMDG 747 works great. Currently I press the throttle buttons and the panels with the (shift + number) comes up, which are not the panels I want. I would like overhead and the others up.Thank you Steven HigaOxford England

Hi StevenI have it the other way around, I

Thanks for the advice, I got the panels that I want to working due to your advice. But for some strange reason some of the key presses using FSUIPC don't work. Why is that?Is it a conflict with another key. I use the ALT + (key) combo but for some reason some of the keys do nothing, yet some of them work fine.Thanks againSteven HigaOxford UK

Hi StevenI must admit that I tend not to use any key combinations that have the Alt key in them, as some windows commands also use the Alt key, but if you could let me know which key combinations you are trying to use and for which commands, I could have a try at my end and see if I get the same results as you do.By the way I

Hi StevenI must admit that I tend not to use any key combinations that have the Alt key in them, as some windows commands also use the Alt key, but if you could let me know which key combinations you are trying to use and for which commands, I could have a try at my end and see if I get the same results as you do.By the way I'm assuming that you are trying to program them using the Button as Key Press in FSUIPC.Jim Hodkinson

Hello again Jim,I will shy away from using the Alt key but I have to be careful as because I set up an extra key board with labels on the keys that change altitude, heading etc..I drilled 2 holes in the old spare key board and mounted it vertically just above the monitor. I plug in the key board when I fly on line. It works great as I program all the PMDG commands to the correct keys. So when I want to increase altitude fast or slow I just press the key with the labels.I got the idea from a website called Roger Doger who builds a poor mans version of cockpit. My normal keyboard works just as usual if I need to type in Sqwauk Box or other programs.By the labels are just a piece of thick paper the same size as the key and I glue the color coded symbol which I made using a simple graphic program, over the top. Symbols like a down arrow for lowering altitude and a double down arrow for lowering altitude quickly. I cover the labels with see through tape for durability. Works a treat but my wife thinks I'm crazy. Cheers Steven HigaOxford England
