I couldn't figure out why nothing was happening when I hit my shift+spacebar combination that usually shuts down my aircrafts engine in FS, so I checked through my control assignments to find out they have all been wiped, apart from the joystick buttoms for some odd reason.. :blink:

Is there a .txt file somewhere in the main FS9 directory which the key combinations are saved to, because I backed up my entire Flight Simulator 20GB folder a few months back and am hoping a simple copy and paste from the original will fix things.

Cheers.

Try the devices.cfg in the main FS9 folder

keyboard shortcuts are also declared in your fs9.cfg in the [KEYBOARD_MAIN] section. (don't know about FSX).

your sim may have started in safe mode, or a new cfg file was created so any customised shortcuts will not be available. I use a heavily customised CFG file so I keep it in a known directroy (rather than in my profile) and reference it when launching FS by changing the shortcut to run 'fs9.exe /cfg:<cfg file>'.
