Thank you @RXP So just to get this topic back on track. The initial question was whether it was possible to use a keyboard or button mapping to provide both "Press" and "Press & Hold" functionality of the GTN Home button without scripting. I now understand that the answer is "you can't". that's all I needed to know. I have both the RXP GNS and GTN, and have successfully mapped all buttons to matching functions either directly in the SIM and/or using FSUIPC & Mobiflight which drives the arduino board that all buttons, encoders etc are connected to. The GTN Home button is the only button that has dual functionality, and hence my question. Now that I know that key or button mapping does not work for both "Press" and "Press & Hold", I'll look at an Lua option such as the TripleUse.Lua script. Thanks again - Ran

@RXP I may be stupid, but not that stupid, so please stop pointing me to the manual which is not much help at all. How can I map a single button to two different actions using either the direct mapping in the sim or in FSUIPC (without the need to write an LUA script)? I have mapped the button to the GPS_Home_Button and yes the default setting sends 0 as the value, which is Press only according to the manual, right? - so how can I use the SAME button to send the Press and Hold value when holding the button (using in sim button to action mapping) ? - obviously I cannot, so just say so. I'll look at SPAD.next Ran

Thanks for that call me stupid, but I have read the manual, and the examples, several times. I still cannot work out how to use a single button to apply both "Press" and "Press and hold" actions. do I need to write an elaborate LUA script for this or is there a simple way? Regards - Ran

Thanks for your reply As I mentioned before, I have tried keyboard mapping, as well as the standard GPS commands. when using the GPS commands I have: enabled "Use Simulator GPS commands" in the GTN750 gauge settings mapped a joystick button to GPS_Menu_buttton using either FSUIPC set to repeat when held, or directly in the simulator. and I am getting the same behavior. Press only, no Press and Release Regards - Ran

Hi team anyone knows how to enable a repeat of pushing joystick button or sending keyboard shortcut to action the "press and hold" function of the home button? I switched over to the reality-XP GTN from F1 due to the much easier and reliable keyboard and joystick configuration options. Only issue I have is that the Menu button 'Press and Hold' function only works when using the mouse on the screen. I have a dedicated touchscreen unit for the GTN750 so I am using it without the bezel. I have tried using a keyboard shortcut mapped in the INI file and a joystick button mapped to GPS Menu button in FSUIPC (with repeat) but to no avail. The configuration works in terms of the action bringing up the home screen, but holding the button or keyboard shortcut, does not initiate the "Press and Hold" action to go to the map. obviously this is not a big deal. I can just as easily go to map once in the home page. I am just wandering what I missed and doing wrong any ideas? Regards - Ran

Oh, great. Sorry, I should have RTFM... thanks for a quick reply - Ran

Hi If I were to build a panel to mount the GTN 750 in a home cockpit, where would I find the key mapping for the Home and Direct-To buttons? the rest I can manage with the connected touch-enabled screen. Would these map to existing GNS or FMS keys? Regards - Ran
