Building First Multi-Purpose Panel... Advice Needed

[walker450]

I finally have everything ready to build my first switch/button panel. I will be using a USB x-keys with Cat's matrix board.

I am trying to decide on what to put on my first panel. I will be using this with several sims. I mostly play Blackshark though...

 

I would like to have the following at minimum:

 

• Landing gear
  
• Flaps
  
• Start Sequence shortcut (FC2,BS)
  
• Arrestor Hook
  
• Lights
  
• etc. etc.
  

 

Any suggestions? Examples?

 

Thanks in advance.

I bought a few various switches at Radio Shack today.... put them in a cardboard box just to test them out. :)

 

I mapped the middle one (SPST momentary puchbutton) to output a "c" keypress when pressed, nothing on release. When I open notepad it works fine, I press the button and it puts a "c" on the screen. I then went into Blackshark and changed the targeting "reset" keypress to "c". In the game I can press "c" on the keyboard and it presses and releases the reset button. If I press the button mapped to "c", the button in the game goes down and stays down, no matter how many times I press the button! Any advice?

You need to program a release state as well, check the tutorial here: http://www.piengineering.com/software/mw3tutorials/keystrokes/keystrokes_tut_controller.swf
