Bryan Wollenberg 810243 Posted April 14, 2006 at 05:46 AM Posted April 14, 2006 at 05:46 AM Ross...first, congratulations on a job well done! Great looking program. Quite a few controllers have been asking me tonight about [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning the + key (next to the - _) as the aircraft select. Being an ASRC jockey, I had no clue. So, I tried it myself, and sure enough, can't do it. It seems really bizarre to have to jump over to the + key on the number pad, then back to the main part of the keyboard. Am I missing something, or is there a way around that? Bryan Wollenberg ZLA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 14, 2006 at 06:28 AM Posted April 14, 2006 at 06:28 AM VRC does not support key combinations such as "Shift + =" for ASEL, CSEL or PTT. So you could use just the = key if you want, but then you won't be able to type an equals sign in any text or chat. Note that I find the numpad + key very natural for ASEL, since the way I select aircraft is usually by entering the last bit of their callsign, then pressing ASEL. For example, if I want to select DAL123, I would type 123 followed by numpad +.

Peter Semadeni Posted April 14, 2006 at 03:06 PM Posted April 14, 2006 at 03:06 PM logical approach but not really any good for those of us with laptops and no numberpads. looks like my only option is to use the ` key for ASEL and nothing for controlers.

Ruth McTighe 824054 Posted April 14, 2006 at 03:21 PM Posted April 14, 2006 at 03:21 PM I use ` for aircraft, and \ for controllers.

Ross Carlson Posted April 14, 2006 at 06:53 PM Posted April 14, 2006 at 06:53 PM I agree it's not 100% ideal for laptops, but keep in mind VRC's multi-monitor design goal. If it's really a huge problem, my suggestion would be to purchase a USB numeric keypad or regular keyboard. (Though I imagine using ` is a much simpler fix. ) Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
