Custom key assignments

[slod 20]

Hi,

Can someone tell me where these are stored please?  I'd like to make a back-up before I update so I don't have to re-create them all.

Many thanks

Hi there,

 

You can create custom assignments in the load manager. You can find this under the Setup tab and Events.

Click add and then define what actions you want.

Thanks,

Sorry, perhaps I didn't ask the question correctly!

I've created the assignments in the way you've suggested, but when I update to the new version they are all lost.  Is there a cfg file or something where they are stored?

I can then make a back-up instead of having to write them all down and re-create them every time an update is released.

It would be great if you had the answer.

Thanks

For P3Dv4:

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Controls\Standard.xml

Actually, these appear to be the standard P3D assignments.  I'm looking for the custom MaddogX assignments that I've created.  They are overwritten each time I update.

Thanks

There was a LINDA module released just recently for the Maddog

For me using LINDA to assign custom controls is far smoother and easy than using the maddog software.

Just a friendly advice :)

Thanks, maybe I'll try that.  I've been using SPAD.Next to get the Saitek Multi panel working, so I've been assigning keys through the Load Manager and using SPAD to talk to the panel.

The trouble is every time I upgrade I 'lose' the key assignments and have to enter them again.

Thanks for you advice, perhaps I need to look at Linda for the Maddog. :)

Would you be willing to share your Multi Panel xml file? I don't seem to have much luck getting my Saitek panels working.  Also Trying to get my GF-EFIS working too with out success.

Hi,

No problem.  It will be tomorrow though as im not around to night.

Hi,

I like to pick that up. I try to assign custom key commands but they do not work. Pressing an assigned joystick command or a keyboard command does not provoke any action. Should the load manager detect keystrokes or joystick buttons? It does not here. FSUIPC works fine, so what could be wrong here?

Hi,

I can program key assignments in the load manager, but then use spad.next to program the same key assignments to the joystick.  I'm afraid I've had no luck programming the joy stick through the load manager so can't help really.

I've asked the developers for help on the official forum and they have said they will respond - so just waiting.

Sorry

Thanks, I join you in waiting then...

Sorry old post. The assignments are in here... "C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Maddog X Files\Data\maddogx.ini"

 

I still would like to program these in SPAD but I guess assigning the keys in the LM and assigning in SPAD works for now...the only thing irritating is that each ON/OFF command has a separate assignment (i.e. CTRL+SHIFT+A is ON, CTRL+SHIFT+B is off).

I have now mapped all the main functions for MaddogX on to my Saitek Switch Panel. Let me know if anyone wants a copy. You will need SPAD Next for it to work.
