Secondary Panel Key Assignment?

[disco79stu 15]

Hi there,

quick question, is it possible to map a key for opening the secondary panel? 

Thanks
Stu

It's there, but I never documented it.

Assign a key to "NITROUS TANK VALVE TOGGLE".

Nice, thanks!

Hi That's awesome! Can we get the list of all possible key bindings? I would like to map Run PF to a keyboard key. Or at least open config window ...

Secondary Panel is the Nitrous event described above.

The other bindings are in the manual.

There's no binding for running the PF events.

Cheers,

I do it in a dirty way:

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

 

      <Entry>

            <Index>7</Index>
            <Down>PANEL_ID_TOGGLE</Down>
            <DownVal>1001</DownVal>
        </Entry>

 

## Index 7 - this is ID of a button on my Joystick

DownVal = 1001 Panel ID from Instrument panel manager

That would work too 🙂

One more question:

Is there a way to bind keyboard keys to following actions (1) and (2)?

(that would help a lot in VR cockpit)

That one is not possible - well, at least not done.  With your VR headset, you can't press buttons on panels?

Yes, I can press buttons but in VR buttons are kind of not precise, I have to click a bit to the right from the button in order to click it... So the mouse is not 100% accurate. For example when I want to click on CFG - VM window is popping up, when I click LK - CFG window pops up. So annoying :D in VC everything works perfectly fine, in VR not.

Could you add this to the manual perhaps? 

I always have to look this up in this very forum topic :) 
Thanks!
