Won’t be surprised to find a miscommunication somewhere between the Ground controller, the Runway Controller and the Coast Guard pilot leading to an inadvertent line up clearance being wrongly perceived.Coming from p3d and have some issues getting my controls set up in XP what with the different XP terminology. Can someone please point me in the right direction?ġ. Parking Brakes - I do not see an option what is the command I need to select to turn on/ off the parking brakesĢ.
Toe brakes - I have MFG crosswind pedals. I have successfully got the rudder working by selecting "yaw". I have assigned the left and right toe brakes to the pedals and the blue bar shows in the menu as I press them to show it is registering. But when I am moving down the runway slowly and press the pedals the aircraft does not slow at all let alone stop.ģ. Autopilot - which command is the for the master autopilot on and off.Ĥ. Unavailable button options - I am using a Warthog Hotas and the joystick does comes up in the control menu. How can I program the other buttons? Do I need to do it externally, i.e.īut only about 4 of the buttons are available for me to program. If you mean the interior lighting, that's for two reasons. First, because every aircraft has a different interior lighting setup. Where there is more than one light, it allows separate lights to be controlled individually with the 3D switches in the cabin like the 3 dome lights in the default C172. The second reason is that many of these cabin lights are on dimmer switches (also like the C172), which requires turning a knob with the mouse and can't be assigned to an individual on/off switch. As with instrument lighting (which is also usually variable), it takes me some extra time to set up the cockpit the way I want it. But otherwise it would take up too many analog axis assignments if every individual light was assigned to a controller axis. I've been able to assign every essential flight command to my HOTAS rig, and the rest are switches I don't need to touch with the mouse until I'm in stable flight and can spare the time for mousing. The only complaint I have about X-Plane's controller assignments is that, ideally, I should be able to assign the same controller switch to different functions for different aircraft models (i.e. joystick prefs stored in each plane folder). There are some commands like helicopter force trim release or autopilot assignments that are handled differently by different aircraft plugins, and that requires assigning too many extra switches that do the same thing. I know there is a plugin somewhere that can do this, and I can also do it with different configurations in the TARGET software I use for my HOTAS rig. But it should be a feature in the basic sim. What if, in theory, you make a copy of your config file and then modify the new one to accept new assignments based off of what aircraft you are flying? Sounds absurd, but seems legit. This will let you fly.(I have a problem, and I can admit it.) :smile: No offense to those who are asking about button assignments but isn't the whole point of flying a simulator to learn where all of the controls are and making the adjustments with the knobs and switches? Assigning buttons to do all of the work, kinda takes the fun (and learning) out of the sim and turning it into a game, rather than a great learning tool as it is. with your mouse click and hold on the yoke. You can not take off using your keyboard. Any ideas on how I can get a fast keyboard altitude adjustment? Alexander Thu, 03:30:07 GMTĬhris Williams. To adjust altitude you have to press the button multiple times making it go up in 100 feet segments. I have assigned keyboard buttons to speed, heading, and altitude which work well except the altitude, unlike the other 2 that one does not scroll quickly when the keyboard button is held down. EG rotating the altitude knob often adjusts the vertical speed instead. Hi.With a multi-screen setup, some of the control knobs/buttons are not aligned with the mouse curser depending on the saved view.
The question I recently had a problem with x plane 11 it's back up and running but there are no laminar MD-82 keyboard commands when I had them before any suggestions? Nigel Barrett Wed, 09:06:15 GMT NOTE: Make sure Num Lock is OFF before using Num Pad commands. Also, if any of the commands don't work or any are missing, please do let us know in the comments section below. If you like this resource, we'd love it if you would post in the comments section below. You may also change the commands manually in the X-Plane settings menu. The controls below are extensive and should cover all aspects of using X-Plane 11 and 10. You have two options: you may download the PDF document or simply view the commands in the tables below. They should also work with X-Plane 11 as the majority of the commands have remained the same. These are the complete keyboard commands originally for X-Plane 10.
