Throttle Controls - ie Page Up & Page Down?

Featured Replies

Hi all, just trying to figure out where I can disable the key commands for the Throttle Quadrant. Currently, it seems that Page Up is controlling Thrust Forward and Page Down is controlling Thrust Reverse. I've checked the controls within FSX and Page Up and Page Down are not listed anywhere? (Yes, I've gone through it thoroughly!) I also took the liberty to go through the menu on the CDU within NGX and there are no assignments for Page Up or Page Down in that either? What the hell is going on? I'm currently using EZDOK 1.17 and the Page Up and Page Down buttons are assigned to up and down movements within that. Ergo, each time I attempt a walk around and utilise either button it affects the aircraft. PS: Yes, I could reassign the EZDOK but I would rather uncover this mystery first. Appreciate any assistance. Rgds, XCL

Hi,If I understand your question, try assigning each of those keys to another command in the "options/controls" sectionand it'll tell you what the pageup/pagedown keys are currently assigned to. Then, go from there. It should be in the "engines" section.When you find them, just highlight each in turn, and press "delete key assignment.

Hi Alex thx for your response. I went ahead with your suggestion, and as I understand it my keyboard configuration within FSX takes "Page Up" and "Page Down" to not only be the 2 dedicated keys alongside "Home" and "End", but also the Num Lock keys for "PgUp" and "PgDn"?! How about that!? I've now killed the assignment and all is well. Thx for your assistance! Rgds, XCL
