Hello,

I'm busy programming a new panel for my camera settings in EZdok. For example I use the keypress "C" for Captains view and "V" for the overhead panel.
The Arduino board is working because when I open notepad the C and V and all other letters are there.
If I press those letters on my keyboard it's working, but not when I press the buttons on my panel.
All programs are started as Administrator and on the bottom everything is green, except for simconnect, but that's for MS2020 only.
I have Prepar3dv5.3 and FSUIPC 6.1.8. Do I have to set FSUIPC as administrator somewhere or is it done by Prepar3D.

Any idea why it's not working?

Thanks Nico

Hi

Please Confirm if the problem is located to the special "EzDok" Stuff or if it is global.

For example define in P3D Settings a Key Command for something basic. E.g. use the "G" for Gear Toggle.
In easy words. Use a Sim internal stock function.
Send send THIS single Key "like G" to the Sim via MF.

If it work, then next step is to confirm your used Key or Combination ( you use currently for Ezdok) is fine.

So set in P3D Settings the system you controll in 1st test ( e.g. the gear with G) NOW to the same Key/Combi you use for EzDok at the moment.

If it again work we know....
1. MF Send Keys itself ( You confirm by Wordpad)
2. P3D receive Keys basically
3. Also the used Key is not blocking and will work for other things.

Result: Ezdok is the problem. Maybe it is a self running Software in the back. Then we get in trouble cause MF only send keys to the Active window.

Please report experience !
Good Luck !

Hi Pizman,

I think that's the problem. EZDok is working in the background and so it will never work with the Mobiflight Software. I guess I have to use Linda for this panel and Mobiflight for all my other panels. Anyway, I tested the G for the landing gear and that's working fine.

Thanks for your help, Nico
