Meant to add that "Engine Autostart" will always be available so long as you
dont assign "Ctrl+E" to anything else. You can still assign individual
items over and above.

All my personalised key assignments are on "F" keys.
For example F5-F8 are assigned, by default to flaps.
Since I have all those controls on my yoke I can re-assign thes with no
danger of going into the unknown.

One tip.......

If you do have a few personalised assignments etc. it is advisable to make a
back up copy of your FS2002/04.cfg file.
It often seems to go pearshaped within the sim for no apparent reason and
saves you starting all over again. Just overwrite with a copy of the backup
file.

| Thanks Angus. I'm having some problems and I think it might have been

I

| Hope that helps!

| I've noticed that in the assignments section for the key assignments,
| after
| I install add on aircraft, I'm seeing entries there that don't show up
| as
| default assignments for the simulator. For example, I have an avionics
| on/off, a master battery on/off, and a master battery and gen on/off
| listed.
| Here's my question.
| When you install an add on from say Lago, FSD, or Captain Sim into
| FS2K2,
| does their installation change or add assignments to the sim? I am
| having
| some issues that I think might be related to my having changed some of
| these
| assignments from whatever the default assignment was. For example, I
| changed
| avionics to simply an (A). Should you...if you are using add on
aircraft
| in
| FS2K2, leave the default key assignments alone and simply use whatever
| is
| showing, and can changing an assignment in the sim cause issues and
| conflicts?
| I'm thinking that to resolve my "issues", I might have to restore to
the
| default key assignments in the sim, then reinstall ALL my add on
| aircraft,
| letting the installation assign or add assignments as they go into the
| sim.
| Am I on the right track here?
| Many thanks,
| Dudley
