Happy New Year folks. My first post of 2014. First of many no doubt, haha!!!
Alongside FDC I run PFE, ActiveSky and AI Separation. As far as I know it is only PFE which has Hotkeys. Could there be a clash between FDC & PFE??
I've tried stopping FDC when it hangs on 'establishing' (by clicking on 'Connect' again and confirming the 'This will reset ..." window, then closing FS9 and starting the flight again. But when I then try to connect FDC, it hangs just the same. If I close FDC without FS9, I get a not enough Hotkeys error when I start it up again. If I close both FS9 and FDC, 99% of the time FDC will then connect normally, but with all my addons FS9 takes an age to start a flight from scratch...
I am going to try deactivating all the FDC Hotkeys I never use (would you predict that this would cure the problem??) - in fact I only ever use four of them, HotKey1, HotKey4, HotKey5 & HotKey11... When I do this via the FDC interface, the results show in the [HotkeysActive] section of the FDC.ini file, but I assume I need to reproduce that in every .pro file I have too??
With only those four FDC hotkeys, should I be OK leaving all the PFE hotkeys active? I don't use all of them but I don't want to deactivate them unnecessarily.
I also notice that for some reason, all my [HotkeysActive] entries, in the .ini file and in all my .pro files, run with Hotkeys 22-24 at the top. Could that cause problems?
[HotkeysActive]
Hotkey22=1
Hotkey23=1
Hotkey24=1
HotKey1=1
HotKey2=1 .....
