NGX flying with keyboard commands only?

Featured Replies

Good morning PMDGWill the NGX (especially Autopilot / Autoland) works with keyboards commands only?Thanks for your quick answer.Best regardsMarcelLSZB

Do you mean flying the aircraft with the arrow keys?If so then I don't see why not, but why would you want to? It's Extreamely unrealistic, and you can get a decent twist grip joystick really cheap, maybee for about $50. You will definently notice a massive improvement in your enjoyment and skill.

hello,i don't think he wants to control axis with the keyboard!i think he want to know if the functions on the mcp or the overhead ... can be setup with the keyboard keys . For example activate lnav vnav change autopilot altitude with the keys....If it's what he whant to ask, the answer interest me !

To my knowledge every functioning switch/knob/button should be able to have keys assigned to it if that's what you're asking. The way I understand it, that's how home cockpits work. They map the real switches/buttons/knobs/levers to keystrokes/joystick axes using various IO cards & then assign those to the corresponding switch/button/knob/lever in-game.Edited for clarity (phrasing)

Oh, I think I misunderstood the op.Previous pmdg products have included a key-commands menu where you can assign keyboard commands to various functions of the airplanes systems, so I would presume the Ngx will be the same.

No reason to expect otherwise. It's pretty much a standard on their aircraft & with all the extra AC-specific commands, I can't imagine then not including it.BTW, I thought the same thing at first. Forget the arrow keys though, if I'm going to control the yoke by keyboard I'm using wasd Big%20Grin.gif
