I'm working my way through the tutorials and manuals for both the button and voice versions of the NGX, I want to start with the button version then ease into the voice. I've struck a problem in that both the manuals and turorials indicate to assign FSX  buttons to the keyboard and/or joystick. However, it is not clear what these assignments are for, are they additional controls to the mouse click 'open/close' for the button interfaces or are they meant to do something else and once the keys are assigned how are they reserved to fs2crew.

Hi Steve,

 

The assignments can be used to open/close the main panel, engage soft mute, etc.

 

Check the on-line manual:

I think it's pretty clear what the buttons are for.

 

Best,
