How does the FS2P "keysend" variable work?
I'm trying to trigger some events in FSX for which I can not find working offsets. Electrical failure for example.
If I assign a keyboard input in either FSX or FSUIPC to a given event (like electrical failure) can I use the FS2P "keysend" variable to trigger that?
For example, I chose "J" to trigger an electrical failure so if I hit "J" on my keyboard my aircraft suffers an electrical failure. Can I now get FS2P to send the "J" to FSX and cause the same event to occur?

You could assign a keystroke to an FSUIPC offset in FS2Phidget4, but you might want to look at the Key tab on the FSUIPC Settings and Options.
On older versions of MS-Flight Simulator the FSUIPC Settings and Options were loacted on the menu bar - Modules -> FSUIPC , not sure if same as FSX.

Re: How does the FS2P "keysend" variable work?
I don't know that I'm following you. I'm running FS2P 5 and have set up a series of variables that sense the voltage and amperage from FSX and trigger a valve. All seem to be working when tested with an LED as the output device. Instead of that LED though I want to deliver a keystroke back to FSX from FS2P. I guess via FSUIPC if that's the way to do it.
Can this be done?

Tom,
I am not sure I got the Keysend offset working in fs2ph5. My development computer died and I picked up virus on my new machine. Have not looked at fs2ph5 in a while. fs2ph4 does have this functionality. Have you done a lot of work in 5?
Regards,
Alan

Version 4 uses ini files, version 5 uses xml.
Have never run the two concurrently. Cannot think of a reason why one couldn't. Cannot say what the performance impact would be.
