MobiFlight Community Support

Hello,

I have simple question, which I could not find answer - how can I use MobiFlight only with Keyboard? In Input sections there are listed only my joysticks, but no option for only keyboard input - what if I want to map directly keyboard buttons to specific actions via MobiFlight?

Thats not possible !
And thats also inverted to the usecase of Mobiflight itself

Mobiflight is build to avoid people of using Mouse and Keyboard!
So to give posibillity to use real switches, buttons, Encoders, Potis and so on ( Set to a Controller like a Arduino) and send commands to the sim.

The keyboard can be set already without Mobiflight directly in the Sim ( Sim Controll Settings).

*****

There is a usecase maybe.... If we talk about AddOns who need special Commands that are not available within the sim standard controll options.
So in theory it would be usefull to see the keyboard ( same like a HID Controller) as a possible Input Device detected by Mobiflight.
Means if you press e.g. the "G" Key then MF would see it and you can build a Mobiflight Input Config for this.

But as i said.... 99,9% of Mobiflight Users work with our Software with main target to NOT use the Keyboard anymore.
So you can request official on our Github or start a discussion on Discord.... But i not think there is a big interest for this !

EDIT: With FSUIPC (Payware Version) what you need is possible already. There you can set (nearly all that van be done in MF) to Keyboard.
