November 25, 201213 yr Hi, I have a Flight Instrument display from Saitek and with this unit I can send key commands using a direct output. Normally the commands go to FSX for things like gear down or to bring up a panel. I would like to assign a key to answer RC back lets say for an acknowledgement number 1 or Number 7 keyboard key. Now I know you may or may not have knowledge of the direct output interface used by Saitek for the FIP but if you do and know how I can send the numbver one keybaord command vis it to RC I would be grateful. Regards, Tom Anderson
November 25, 201213 yr If any keyboard command is sent to FS, RC should receive it if nothing else captures it first. If the Saitek keys and command receives are assignable then adjust the keyboard (read) assignments in RC for no conflict with anything and adjust the Saitek keys to send corresponding output. See the RC manual and the Keyboard tab in RC.
November 27, 201213 yr Author OK Thanks for the response, However, maybe I was not clear in my post. What would be the keybaord assingment code for lets say the "number 1" key. As an example the below code will launch panel 1 in FSX when button one is pushed on the FIP Butoon1 is titled W. I need to know what code should go into the event <Button Id="1" Name="W" Event="PANEL_1"/> Regards Tom

RC is not a part of FS itself but an external program obeying keypresses intercepted before FS processes them. It cannot see FS events which are always processed by FS itself. See if the format for the Saitek panel data can be set to allow it to send keystrokes. If not you may need a different driver for the device, like, possibly, SPAD. -- see http://fstools.weebly.com/.
