All keypresses in FS invoke FS controls, so "B" will be sending a control. If you don't know what it is called, you can always use FSUIPC's Event Logging to log it!
 
I've just done that, and the relevant control is "BAROMETRIC"!
 
Questions about FSUIPC are really best put on my Support Forum.

Thanks! I renamed both of those two scenery files -- or so I thought. I've just re-checked and they are still there! either that or something has replaced them! ;-)
 
I've now MOVED them out, to a "Saved" sub-folder That seems to have fixed it! HURRAH! ;-)
 
On to the next Orbx incompatibility. I'm sure there must be more. I don't really understand how an Orbx BGL can reintroduce what look like FSX/P3D default EGCC buildings back into a UK2000 higher-priority scenery when the real default layers do not. Weird, and unfathomable to me. Makes me rather lose my faith in the layering priority system!
 
Thanks again, 
 
 
 
Yes, but oddly that doesn't list either EGCC or EGLL, the only two I have had problems with ... so far!
 
 
Okay, thanks. Checking that out now!
 
 
Hmm. Interesting. So airport buildings can fall under the TERRAIN.CFG control too? Wow. This does get complicated.

Well, for the first time I'm actually now running my system without the FS limiter set to Unlimited!
 
After much testing I find to my surprise that FSPS FA does work quite well on my system. With my normal setup, the test I use at EGLL (UK2000 Extreme Heathrow with stormy weather) gives 18-35 fps depending on where I look. i have the aircraft panning around 360 degrees and check the graph in JAB_FPSx’s display. That’s with FS’s limiter to to Unlimited, traffic (from MytrafficX) at 45% and Autogen at 3.


 


All these frame rates are after things have settled down a bit. When first going to EGLL and panning around the frame rates are always really bad – it is pulling in all the buildings and parking all the AI. It all settles down in a minute or so.


 


With FS’s limiter set to 58 (chosen for the projector refresh rate and an overhead – don’t ask, I read it somewhere;-)  ), and a low setting of 28 in FA, I get frame rates 16-30 in the same test. Lower, certainly, but smoother!  Ignore the actual frame rate number and it looks better.


 


So i tried upping the Traffic from 45 to 60 and the Autogen from 3 to 4 ...


 


... same, still get 16-30 and still smooth.


 


Did a taxi test all the way down the northern East-West taxiway, passing all those AI at Terminal 1 and arriving at Terminal 5A. Frame rates low at start gradually increasing as more of the airport was behind me, but smooth. Even looking at the ground to the immediate left or right it appeared smoother – always before that’s been very jerky looking.
 
No need for me to test elsewhere -- if it makes me happy in my EGLL test it'll be fine everywhere else.
 
So, I purchased it. Well done FSPS!
