VIRTUAL EVENT

[Caisterwoods]

Hi, i am trying to assign the atc menu to show in ms2020 with a button press on my yoke,  i have tried and found in the key down event   simui_window_hideshow: deisplay the atc window   tried this and does not work,    so i then tried to map a keyboard command in game so i could then set up a virtual event    rctl alt   which appears ok in the box  but i cannot turn on the light beside it to activate it,   any help much appreciated,   i have got the latest version. Just tried everything i can think of been at it for two hours to no avail.  The other actions work fine it's just the virtual event i cannot see to get working.

 

thanks

The LED is only there to activate the box for input. Is serves no other purpose. When the keyboard event is shown in the box, it is active. 
I guess that I should remove that LED, it has become obsolete by now.

Be mindful that the MSFS window needs to have the focus to receive keyboard events. The better solution is to use a script and force the focus on the MSFS window first, then sending VKD/VKU events.

Thanks for the fast response i am going to have to read up on scripts as i have no idea on them as only started using the product. Looks very good.
