Custom Control Assignments

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby ardypilot » Sun Feb 24, 2008 6:43 pm

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
Testers are born to fiddle. What does this button do? Oh! Never mind.....

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>'.
