February 27, 200620 yr Guys, does anyone know a software solution that can store and send (when triggered) your keystorkes from the background of FS? I know that same can be done with your joystick profiles, but those are usually limited to a minor number of keystrokes per button. I'd rather like to have a txt based software for doing that including self unloading from the memory when the script is executed. I need it also have some advanced syntax for pauses, modifiers of the keys, some speed settings and others. Such a software can be very useful for different flight sims.Thanks.
February 27, 200620 yr You can take a look at this tool:http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/I use it for automated testing of the applications we develop. It's an open source tool, and among other things, the community that supports it have created a tool called AU3Record, which can record keystrokes that AutoIT can play back later. The great feature of AutoIT is it can compile a script into a standalone .exe.I haven't tried to use it for anything related to MSFS--but it can send keystrokes to any active window. Whether it can send keystrokes or record keystrokes when MSFS is full screen, I don't know.-John
February 27, 200620 yr Author John, is AU3Record tool inside Autoit3? Otherwise I'm not able to find it separately.Thaks.
February 27, 200620 yr I'm sorry--links have been shuffled around since I last visited the site. AU3Record should be found in the AutoIT/SCite Dev environment package on this page:http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.phpIt includes a self extracting .exeIf it isn't, please send me a PM-John

February 27, 200620 yr The dev environment package is found in the second link I posted. Au3Record is one of the tools in the package. Au3Record will work without it, but if you want to create robust scripts for manipulating MSFS, the Dev env package and SCITE editor in the second link is very much worthwhile. I use SCITE for AU3 script support (it has built in syntax checking for AutoIT) and I use it as an XML editor. The SCITE found in the link is customized for AutoIT--it's a great tool!-John
February 27, 200620 yr Hi,Also the registered version of FSUIPC is capable of sending keystrokes (and a lot more! ;) ).Regards,Hugo
