Finally able to do a full flight in P3D and RC4 working beautifully... except none of the keyboard commands work. I was unable to pass comms to the FO and couldn't hide the RC4 window. Any suggestions?

none of the keyboard commands? or just the two you mentioned?

 

there are two reasons why keyboard keys aren't seen by rc

 

first, the flight simulator has to be running, and ready to fly - not on some menu, or sub menu or dialog box - before you click start rc. the first thing rc does is to tell flight simulator what keys it's looking for

 

the second possibility - is some other program is using the same keys, and rc never sees them

 

see if that helps

 

or

 

make a log, instructions pinned to the top of the forum

I'll get back to you JD. It's definitely not the first scenario as P3D is running before I start RC. I didn't think about the second scenario - I'll have to check and see if those key commands are being used in P3D. Thanks.

Check the RC keyboard assignments tab. Look for conflicts. If using an FMC be sure you turn off the pc keyboard capture.

 

The FS window needs to be hot, not the RC window.

 

One of the "crew" type add-ons, maybe FS2 Crew, needs a mod. Just run RC and FS to check for basic operation without any add-ons running.

I think it is multicrew experience that needs a configuration setting to avoid interfering with RC. Check their forum.

Problem solved. I had forgotten to delete P3D default keyboard assignments. Thanks for reminding me of that gentlemen.
