How do you assign buttons to options from within ATC?
Goatman24 replied to Goatman24's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Ric, as I am doing a lot of modifications right now I think I'll try to uncheck as many of the assignments as I can within FSX and make sure they're running through FSUIPC as much as possible. I'll try again with the TQ6 and see what happens. If I remember correctly, I think I couldn't get it to recognize the negative number when trying to set. I thought I had tried every option including the reverse setting with no success. Everything was working from within the Control Panel calibrating area. When I checked the setting back within FSX and went back into FSUIPC it worked again. Haven't used the PMDG yet but would like to try it eventually. Especially, if I rebuild my system for faster frame rates one last time. Mitch -

Ric, I've got the paid version. My son stopped over and we got it working. Thanks for the help. One issue I did have with FUIPC4 is my TQ6 flaps I couldn't get to work unless I checked them from within FSX. Kinda weird but as long as I got it to work I was fine with it. Mitch -

How do you use the FSUIPC for this? I do use that for some of my other hardware. Mitch -

Drat!!! It really kills the realism having to use the blasted keyboard. Guess I'll assign the buttons to other items. Think I'm going to be ordering a miniture keyboard to at least make it less obtrusive. Thanks anyway Jim. Mitch -
I'm using a USB interface model 2125 from Desktop Aviator to assign some buttons and switchens and it works very well. What I'd like to be able to do is assign buttons 0-9 to choose selections from within the ATC such as selecting airports etc.. Unfortunately, I don't see how I can do this like I've done for assigning other things such as Auto Pilot options etc.. I would think this would be possible. I'm hoping I won't have to use the keyboard for these. Thanks Mitch

I'm using a USB interface 2125 from Desktop Aviator to add custom switches and buttons to my sim and so far it's working very well. What I'd like to do is assign buttons to the options from within the ATC. Usually you have to choose 1-9 from the keyboard to choose things such as what airport you wish to contact. My question is how do I assign the buttons to choose these options. Is this possible? Hope I've explained this properly and have posted in the correct forum. Thanks Mitch

Been making a lot of updates on my system after replacing my old video card. In making some changes to the fsx.cfg file, I noticed it still listed my old video card so I decided to remove it after having read that if you do this, fsx will re-make a new one the next time it starts up. My problem is that it doesn't appear to have been re-made. It's no longer in the file where it was originally. I kept the old file in another folder for safe-keeping. Any ideas on why this would be? Path I'm using is C:users/name/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX Files are not hidden because it was there originally. Mitch

Question with altimeter reading from ATC.
Goatman24 replied to Goatman24's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
OK, now I understand. The basics at least. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the information. -
I like using the stock ATC with FSX and have a question regarding an altimeter reading that is mentioned after connecting with a new contact. Example = "United 209, Mansfield Approach, roger, Altimeter 3006." That reading of 3006 seems to be used quite a bit and I don't understand what it's referring to as it certainly isn't where I'm at. It seems to be the same coming from other locations as well. Thanks

I think what it was Jim is that when I downloaded the new one I didn't click on "Run as administrator". I re-installed the old version and everything is back to normal. Now all the options match up again. Thanks for the help, Mitch

OK, here are the pictures including the grey'd out icon I can't access. http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m512/Goatman24/NI1_zpsaf55df47.jpg http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m512/Goatman24/NI2_zpsf4ad59f6.jpg Mitch

Jim, that's weird. Yes I do have the MS Flight Simulator X profile selected but it is definetly different. One other thing I noticed was the little icon at the top is not highlighted. I drew an arrow in red in my first attachement. In the directions located here that I'm going from http://www.simforums.com/forums/settings-for-new-drivers-updated-v1959_topic36586.html this is step 2. Between the two attachements you can see what I'm getting. Sorry Jim, I've got to log onto my other computer to see where I have to load the pictures to attach. I wish this could be made easier on this forum. I'll be back shortly.
