Script for DCS Black Shark or DCS A-10C...need help...
This script works when testing in windows 7, using notepad..
When i start DCS and try to use it, it doesnt work...

I have problem using this autohotkey script..Idea is that i would like to use my external numerical usb keyboard as simplified programmable unit with 20 keys to program for different flight simulators...The problem is when using autohotkey utility, DCS does not detect my programmed keys...

This is my *.ahk script. It should transfer keys 7,8,9,+,4,5,6,- to be used as yaw/pitch/altitude/ dampeners and as 4 targeting modes...

numpad7::send q
numpad8::send {LAlt}s
numpad4::send v
numpad5::send n
numpad9::send {LShift}b
numpadsub::send {LShift}p
numpadadd::send {Lalt}h
numpad6::send {LShift}p

But when i press any button it just isnt programmed as edited in above script. Can somebody help me to fix this. Am i missing some commands in my script?

You should try the options in FAQ-Games.

Thanks i tried....but i cant make it work...Tried sendplay, but it doesnt work...anybody, help please...

Did you try sendinput instead of send?

Also, is this game online? Not sure what dcs is.

Thanks, will try sendinput as soon as i get home...

Tried sendinput it doesnt work...What next?

I'm having a hard time getting this to work as well, what I have found is this:

What I am trying to do is map a snap view to one button. To get the snap view in this example you press Numpad0 and then Numpad1.

I am using the middle mouse button for this script.

So, what does work is:
MButton::Numpad0

Also this works:
MButton::Numpad1

Also this works

MButton::
{
Send {Blind}{Numpad0}
}




What does NOT work though is

MButton
{
Send {Blind}{Numpad0}
Send {Blind}{Numpad1}
}



It sends the first key {Numpad0} but never the second.


I have tried Send {Blind}{Numpad1} by itself, and it doesn't work either.

Have tried SendPlay, SendEvent and SendInput but they don't work with either key, only Send {Blind} seems to, and only with {Numpad0}.

But both keys work in a direct remap.

Any ideas?

Hi, hreich, we also meet outside from ED-DCS forums.

I've just got some AHK script working for DCS-A-10C Mission Editor and I had do deal with some time-related issue from within the editor's Launcher .exe process. (Thread: ME - AutoHotkey utilities)

This issue is probably related to what I read in these posts. In this case, my solution may apply here too...

... It's all about using SetKeyDelay in order to slow AutoHotkey down a little. In my case, SetKeyDelay, 100 was good.
