SimConnect Toggle Keybind

Featured Replies

Is it possible that we could get an option to toggle the SimConnect/Offline on status the app itself and assign that to a keybind?

I'm sorry, but that would be next to impossible to do. The whole logic that is listening for inputs is only active when you are either connected to the sim or running in offline mode. So the only possible event would be to disconnect and/or leave offline mode. But you can't turn it on again, because nobody is listening.

What is your use case, why would you want to do this?

I see, that's understandable. I just wanted less steps and clicks for going offline so that my keys were free outside the sim without affecting the planes. I'll just place the window in a corner and continue toggling with the clicks. Thanks for the answer!

What if you would use the AAO control layers for this? You could create several layers that you can switch between using AAO commands. That way you can "disable" certain keys and re-enable them at will.

I assume that we are talking about keyboard assignments, right? So you would put all your assignments on the first layer, plus one combo assigned to "AAO_BUTTON_LAYER_TOGGLE" On the second layer you add only this assignment (=you have it on both). By triggering the TOGGLE event, you are switching between the two layers, so either your buttons work, or they don't.

Sounds like that what I need. Will try that and report back.

Reporting back that I was able to come to a solution and assign a single button for the toggling using the AAO_BUTTON_LAYER_SET command to select specific layers. Thank you so much
