Bryan Wollenberg 810243 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth McTighe 824054 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I use ` for aircraft, and \ for controllers.

Ross Carlson Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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...
