Restart flight button

Post by dePeel » Fri Dec 11, 2020 8:29 am

Hi all,

I'm working on a soaring simulator in an old LS4 cockpit, with Condor 2 and Simmeter instruments.
What I need is a way to assign a (hardware)button to restart the flight immediately, without going through a zilion of menu options first.
That way it would be possible to use a push button inside the cockpit to restart the flight without crawling out of the cockpit first, or fly with a laptop on my lap.
Since (as far as I know) there is no option for that in Condor2 (something I really cannot understand :roll: ), is there maybe someone with a hack or some other solution to this problem?
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Cheers!

Hi Wiek,

We're currently also in the proces of building a simulator based on a Cirrus fuselage. I'd be interested in those scripts as well. I've also got some others question regarding the simulator you built :)

Greetings!

Hello Wiek
Could you maybe write ahk script to use chat with 'enter' only, exactly as it was in C1? (Enter open chat, enter send.)
Would be really great, as now I need to use 'esc' after sending msg to leave chat mode.
Thank you for your support.

Superb! TYVM!

It was like this:
press Enter = chat open
the message is written
press Enter 2nd time = msg is send and chat is closing (now need to use esc)
