Keyboard shortcuts for setting NAV/COM

Featured Replies

I'm trying to find a way to set NAV1&2/COM1&2 via keyboard shortcuts. i.e. typing something like n11050 to set NAV1 to 110.50This exact functionality is available in FSPassengers, but I have little interest in the rest of its features so I'm looking for alternate ways to accomplish this.e.g. freeware applications, FSUIPC (I have the registered version), etc.The objective is to be able to quickly change COM frequencies when flying on VATSIM, without having to fidget with the panel controls.Any help would be welcome.

Why not simply use the default keyboard commands, as outlined in the Learning Center?

I fly VATSIM and you have to be on the ball with your frequencies both COM and NAV. Although incurring expense, had you considered either the Saitek or Go-Flight Radio Modules? Alternatively there is the VR Insight MCP Panel which has EFIS/AP/Radio features. They all work on USB connectivity and some may require FSUIPC which I note you already have.Roger

I wasn't aware that this feature already existed in FSX. Could you please clarify? I'm on vacation right now so I don't have access to FSX.

In fact I have. The Saitek product in particular looks quite attractive and as I understand it, with 3rd party drivers works rather well. However considering that I fly mostly offline, it's hard to justify the expense for a product that does just one thing (the MCP panel is a bit too expensive altogether). That said I'm mighty tempted and if I can't find a way to do it via the keyboard I might pay for a hardware solution.
