are you keeping ctrl pressed while you press '1' or '2'? I use the ctrl key for mine due to conflicts in other areas.

I too have the keys mapped to control-1, 2, etc. I have the same problem every now and then. It seems to happen if there is no input for a long period of time. A good example is if I start RC4 then do my preflight and not check weather for about 20 minutes or so, the keys will not work. If I close the FSUIPC window and reopen it all is fine. I never mentioned it before since it is just a minor irritation.Kylehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I sometimes happens to me too, i usually click with the mouse somewhere on the "empty cockpit window area" and then try again. Usually it works fine then again. Like something else is trying to keep the focus.

hisolved problem with the last the great FSUIPC 3.65 ( the new ATC window that replace the advdisplay is working like a charm).Now i've configured the ctrl+ shift keys and the RVC 4 is working fine except i have some times a confilict to select between my super king 200 engines.

I do not know if it is available in the self registered version but there is a setting in FSUIPC that helps with the timing seperation between combination keystrokes. It is in the FSUIPC users or advanced users guide.As I recall engine selection by keystrokes was one of the items helped with this.
