Hi , I have the thrustmaster MFD's and woondered if it was possible to assign the same function to each button as in the clickable MFD's in the cockpit of my Iris and Aerosoft F-16? if so, how would I do this? Cheers, mark

HelloDo they show up in as usb game controllers in control panel ?If yes then you can program them in Fsuipc

Yes they do, but the problem as i see it, is that there is no specific key press in FSX for the buttons on the MFD's - there is for the default G1000 GPS, but thats it. So how I find out what the sim "sees" when i click on the button in the 3D pit and then how do I assign that to a button in FSX GUI? Fsuipc uses the standard FSX list of key presses as far as I can tell.Cheers, Mark

HelloYou can use Fsuipc mouse macros for exactly that usage, using the macro facility just click on the button in the VC to record the mouse action then in Fsuipc's button programming page press the button on the thrustmaster MFD then select the mouse function that you recorded from the drop down list on the right, Simple.Read the Fsuipc documentation on button programming, you will be amazed what you can get your hardware to do using Fsuipc's programming funtions.There are more FSX functions available through Fsuipc than there are through the standard FSX interface.For a full list read FSX controls.pdf included in the documentation

Sadly, and just my luck, the relevant buttons do not seem to be available under mr Dowson's "mousetraps". I followed exactly the example in the manual and it works on the 2 buttons he uses as examples in the king air, but other switches and buttons do not generate the multiline messages when you press them ( nor do the MFD buttons in my F-16) So, out of luck there then. The manual says these mousetraps are wherever FSUIPC "thinks" it will be able to provide a control. I guess FSUIPC does not see the control input everywhere.Cheers,Mark

HelloAs you have discovered the Fsuipc macro facility does not work with XML gauges .You can also use the Fsuipc event logging facility's to view whatever events are being sent when you click on the F16 MFD gauge buttons.Once you know what event the clickspot is sending then you will be able to use Fsuipc to program that event.See this thread for details http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=78335
