Numeric keypads assingments ?

Postby gypsymoth » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:50 am

The panel view forward (fs9) is usually on 8.  How do I assign a right view to 9, left to 7 & etc?   Thanks.    :-?

The view commands should already be assigned to the Num Pad keys by default.

I copied these from the list of key commands in the Learning Center. (Note that the standard view commands like Num Pad 8 are written as SHIFT+Num Pad 8 for some reason. I think this applies with Num Lock OFF. It's not necessary to press the Shift key with Num Lock ON.)

Look Ahead
SHIFT+Num Pad 8

Look Ahead/Right
SHIFT+Num Pad 9

Look Right
SHIFT+Num Pad 6

Look Back/Right
SHIFT+Num Pad 3

Look Back
SHIFT+Num Pad 2

Look Back/Left
SHIFT+Num Pad 1

Look Left
SHIFT+Num Pad 4

Look Ahead/Left
SHIFT+Num Pad 7
================

You should be able to change them from FS9 Settings/Assignments if you wish but I don't see the point.

Thanks Hagar.   I want to alter a panel with views I have for a Dassault 50 for use with Mike Stones 20 in FRA garb.  I've replaced the forward bmp with the proper 2 engined panel but want to delete the R & L forward views which will leave the views open.
I just wanted to move the side views up from 4 to 7 on the left & 6 to 9
on the right!.   It's a technical problem I'd like to solve as I don't know how the aiignments work.   :-[

Still not sure why you want to do this but it should be easy enough to change key assignments from FS9 Settings/Assignments. Click the Buttons/Keys tab & find the view you wish to change. Select the command & click the Change Assignments button. Press the key you wish to operate it.

I use the HAT switch on my joystick for different views. This is set up on the default assignments & works very well. I don't know how changing them would affect it.

PS. Why not remove those forward views you don't want from Panel.cfg? Deleting the BMPs from the Panel folder would probably do it.
