How can I add to the controls list in FSX settings

Fr Bill explained how to add control of Taxi Lights, etc from the keyboard on a previous post. "It's not possible via the User Interface, but you can always hand edit the standard.xml file located in your "users" folder to add any possible key_event to a key stroke combination. For example, the following is the default entry for the landing lights: <Entry> <Key>CTRL+L</Key> <Down>LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE</Down> </Entry>By searching the standard.xml file, I see that CTRL+SHIFT+F5 is not currently assigned to anything, so if I wanted to assign the "Beacon Lights" to those keys, I'd merely create a new entry like this: <Entry> <Key>CTRL+SHIFT+F5</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_BEACON_LIGHTS</Down> </Entry> " End of Quote.I was successful at doing this by taking an entry in the standard.xml that I don't use and changing the data to the keys and names I wanted. This does not change the name of the control listed in the Settings\Controls\Buttons/Keys listing. It just changes it internally. How can I create the name in the Settings\Controls\Buttons/Keys listing?Thanks,Lynn

You can't.I roughly estimate that only 3/4 of all possible events can have their related keystrokes or controller buttons/axis defined via the menu; and if you can't set/change the relation via the menu, you also can't make it visible via the menu.(in short: the menu is only able to display what MS has built-in; no way to change that)Rob

Thanks for the information. I was afraid of that. I am having trouble getting Voice Recognition to key some of the keystrokes that I want. I am using "Voice Activated Commands software". I don't know if it is that or something else.Lynn
