Assign Alt + F1 key combo to yoke button?

Featured Replies

I am using GeForce Experience to capture screenshots in MSFS 2020.  I would like to map the GeForce Experience Alt +F1 key combination to a yoke button but cannot determine how to do so. Does anyone know if this is possible?  I've done about an hour of web searches and watching videos on setting up controllers, but nothing I have found shows or tells how to map an external key combo to a yoke button in the sim.

Not sure if Alt + F1 works, but you can assign keyresses using Spad.neXt. I once used this to assign Alt+Enter for switching back and forth between Fullscreen/Windowed and it worked. This requires, of course, controlling the yoke using Spad.neXt which you may or may not want.

Another idea would be FSUIPC, doesn't this allow such, too?

Kind regards, Michael

Thanks Michael. Understand your recommendations.  Just do not wish to load another app just for one small function. I am flying exclusively GA and have not found any additional needs to do so. Surprised there is no feature in the sim to do so in assigning controls.

With FSUIPC you can certainly assign a key (or key combination) to a physical button. However, as I understand it FSUIPC communicates with the sim over SimConnect, so I don't know if you can control a program 'outside the sim', like GeForce Experience, with FSUIPC although you can have FSUIPC load an external program when FSUIPC starts up . Has anyone been able to send commands to an external program with FSUIPC, maybe using a Lua script?

Bump...fppilot, did you ever figure this out without using FSUIPC or Spad.neXt?
