Hi, I have RXP on FSX with FSUIPC (Paid).  I have several game controllers. 

How can I send game controller button presses to RXP?  

I see a discussion in the manual about mapping keystrokes, but not game controller buttons.  There aren't a lot of unused keystrokes, either 🙂

Thanks , 

Ed

In FSUIPC, you can map controller buttons to keystrokes.. that should work.

And since you can assign shift and ctrl keystroke combinations, you should not run out.

@Bert Pieke
You can also use ALT and WIN modifiers!

@Ed Greenberg
When you open the keyboard shortcut file ( Document\RealityXP.GNS.ini ), it is self documented and lists all the supported keys.

Here is:

; Define a shortcut:
;
;   write the 'Key' and optional 'Modifier(s)' after the '=' sign.
;   for example, binding the event 'TOGGLE_WINDOW' with 'CTRL'+'SHIFT'+'T':
;
;   TOGGLE_WINDOW = CTRL+SHIFT+T
;
; Disable a shortcut:
;
;   leave the line empty after the '=' sign.
;
; Valid keyboard 'Key':
;
;   F1 to F24, 0 to 9, A to Z, NUMPAD0 to NUMPAD9, SPACE,
;   LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN, END, HOME, BACK, TAB,
;   RETURN, ESCAPE, CLEAR, SELECT, PRINT, EXECUTE, SNAPSHOT, HELP,
;   INSERT, DELETE, MULTIPLY, ADD, SEPARATOR, SUBTRACT, NUMPADDOT, DIVIDE,
;   BROWSER_BACK, BROWSER_FORWARD, BROWSER_REFRESH, BROWSER_STOP,
;   BROWSER_SEARCH, BROWSER_FAVORITES, BROWSER_HOME,
;   LAUNCH_MAIL, LAUNCH_MEDIA_SELECT, LAUNCH_APP1, LAUNCH_APP2,
;   MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK, MEDIA_PREV_TRACK, MEDIA_STOP, MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE,
;   VOLUME_MUTE, VOLUME_DOWN, VOLUME_UP,
;
; Supports any combination of the following 'Modifiers':
;
;   ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + WIN
;

NB: depending on your keyboard there could be some combinations of keys not working with all of these modifiers (usually this happens more often with the WIN modifier).

This worked out pretty well. I have some double button presses from the encoders, but that's a question for either FSUIPC or Desktop Aviation.  Best, Ed

You can also use the stock GPS events as documented in the RXP user's manual in the "GPS Commands" chapter.

This let you send native FS event like GPS_DIRECTTO_BUTTON for example!

I'll try this.  Thanks.
