    Hagstrom Key72

    I have a keyboard emulator Key72 By Hagstrom.

    After I set Card I noticed that by Keyboard I get a good response but by Key72 I get Bad Response. I must try more time to obtain a keystroke in Flight Simulator. If I open Notepad the response is good.

    Can anyone help me?

    Keep the wiring as short as possible from your switches to the card.

    If you are getting keystroke responces in Notepad, but there is no function in FS, you might look for a different command for the particular function.

    Also make sure you have the appropriate box checked or unchecked for the Shift and Ctrl functions.

    You may not actually see the appropriate switch in the simulator being operated, though many times you will. All of my exterior lighting switches move, but the yaw damper switches do not. I know they are on however because the flags disappear from view.

    Some functions in your aircraft program my not have a keystroke. Sometimes they do but are not published because you are expected to use the mouse to operate the switch. In that case, FSUIPC can help, and/or a small utility program called Key 2 Mouse which changes mouse clicks to keystrokes and can be used with the Hagstrom cards.

    The disadvantage is that without FSUIPC, the panel you want to operate the switch on must be opened. Say, the overhead or radio stack. K2M is a vector program and the particular window must be open for it to work if not using FSUIPC. It is not always reliable and you must not move the window from it's default location after the K2M programming is complete.

    Thanks for your help.

    Wires are all Ok. I have problem only in FS2004. In Other application is all Ok. Strange is that by Keyboard All Command in FS2004 are Ok, but the same Command by Key72 return bad.

    Just a moment.

    Now I try to use as a command simply one Key:

    If for example I set Landing Lite On by a "CTRL+SHIFT+A", I have problem.
    If I set simply "A" is all Ok.

    Any Idea?

    Likely you are writing your Hagstrom programming code incorrectly. it is VERY eassy to miss a [ or a ( where you need to have it. If it is missing, there is no error code produced..... the key just does not do what you expect.

    Or maybe the Shift key function is not working.

    Here's a copy of one small section of my KE-72 ini file:

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    EXTERNAL LIGHTS PANEL

    IN01:[(+)Ctrl][L][(-)Ctrl] Turn on Landing Lights
    IN01|[(+)Ctrl][L][(-)Ctrl] Turn off Landing Lights


    IN02:[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][T][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn on Taxi Lights (FSUIPC)
    IN02|[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][T][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn off Taxi Lights (FSUIPC)


    IN03:[O] Turn on Strobe Lights
    IN03|[O] Turn off Strobe Lights


    IN04:[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][B][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn on Beacon Lights (FSUIPC)
    IN04|[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][B][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn off Beacon Lights (FSUIPC)


    IN05:[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][N][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn on the Nav Lights (FSUIPC)
    IN05|[(+)Ctrl][(+)Shift][N][(-)Shift][(-)Ctrl] Turn off the Nav Lights (FSUIPC)

    -------------------------------------------------------
    Note that the functions labeled with (FSUIPC) are assigned via FSUIPC.....not in the sim itself.


    best,

    Thanks for Help.

    I solved by Hagstrom Support.
    I solved by a delay function. Thanks

    Could you give some more details of the solution you received. I think I too am suffering from the same issue.

    Simply add a delay between key function and Key selected.

    Example: [(+)CTRL][F][(D)5][(-)CTRL]
