June 3, 200719 yr Is there a way to use RC with two engines?Using the Aeroworx King Air, if I want to control the engines seperately,doing a runup or whatever, pressing E1 or E2 engages the RC menu.Perhaps there's a FSUIPC workaround, but in any case, my apologiesif I missed this in the RC manual.Thanks in advance,SluggerBruce Beattie
June 3, 200719 yr In a registered FSUIPC there is a setting that allows adjustment between the timing of successive key strokes such as E-2. When the computer is busy as is usually the case with FS, the E and the 2 are seen as individual keystrokes. I am not sure if the unregistered FSUIPC has this feature.This is a problem frequently described on a few forums.You can change the keystroke assignments for the RC menu to simultaneous available keys (like CTRL-1 for the menu) or work with FSUIPC regarding keystroke timing for sequential presses.
June 4, 200719 yr Author Thanks for the tip.The keystroke page in Radar Contact worked great . . . better, in fact,than any FSUIPC workarounds I could find.Obviously, Radar Contact was designed with these types of issues in mind.Regards,SluggerBruce Beattie
June 4, 200719 yr . . . but can you now hit them quick enough in FS so they are recognized as separate engine controls :)If not and CTRL-SHIFT-1 and CTRL-SHIFT-2 are not taken by FS or any other add-on, if the FS function assignment menu allows it try it. Sitting on the ground when starting you should have three fingers available.
June 4, 200719 yr Author By changing the commands on the Radar ContactKeystroke page . . . ie "1" is now "Shift-1" in theRadar Contact menu, the "E-1" and "E-2" commandsyou need to independently control the engins in FS9 are no longerpicked up as commands by the Radar Contact menu.So what you end up with is this:Want to fiddle with the left/right engine? Hit E-1 or E-2 (Both E-1,2)Want to respond to the Radar Contact menu? Hit Shift-1 or Shift-2.All the other numbers you use to respond to the Radar Contact menu stay the same.Best,SluggerBruce Beattie
