My idea of removing GEAR UP or GEAR TOGGLE from that lever, and just assigning "G" in the Keyboard menu, and then using FSUIPC to send "G" (without being held) was the solution.

That seems like a bit of an unnecessary tap-dance, you can just assign the appropriate 'gear up' and 'gear down' functions directly in FSUIPC. The difference is FSUIPC won't call the functions repeatedly.

I'm sure that A&O can accomplish the same

1. Press the "+" to create a new button assignment
2. Select "GEAR_DOWN" as the Key Down Event
3. Select "GEAR_UP" as the Key Up Event
4. Move the switch on the external controller, so it is shown in the box "Assigned button/key" 
   You can isolate the controller with the drop down below the box, so other stuff can't interfere
5. Press "Save"

 The most important part is to make sure that the same switch is not bound in the simulator itself - because that is what is causing the 10-degree problem.

I used a switch on the Saitek TPM Module, they do the same thing: when in the "ON" position they are "on" permanently.

Mark-

I wish it were that simple, however, I had to change methodologies, as the sim still saw the flooded button press without the FSUIPC "Key does not repeat" tick box.

Looking forward to Twotterin in MSFS!

Now you're just confusing me. You should be on this dialog, and only filling in the right hand side. If the function is repeating despite you not having the 'Control to repeat while held' box checked, then there is a problem with FSUIPC.

Mark-

The issue is my HW has a pressed button for GEAR UP.  There is NO gear down button as the button is simply un-pressed when moving the gear lever down.  Therefore, in my case the "G" toggle method is what works.

That's why there is a 'Control sent when button released' option.

Please Mark- just stop. We have come full circle.

I have a working solution and appreciate your interest.
