"B" key won't work? - baoding - 25-12-2008
Hi, i have noticed recently that the B key don't work anymore... when i usually go through FL180 ( transition altitude) i just hit the B key so my
altimeter go back to 2992. But after i installed FSPX, it doesn't work anymore. The B key can still work when i'm descending, but when i climb
through FL 180 it doesn't set it back to 2992. The ATC have to tell me that i need to expedite my climb to my cursing altitude first, then the B key
will come back to life...... weird..
is this just me? or is it a bug? or is it just designed this way that i have to manually set the altimeter now?
Re: - Tibbo - 25-12-2008
Hi baoding,
I noticed the same thing on my first flight yesterday, but looking into the fspassengers config, I found that FSPX assigns the B key to
manual altimeter entry. I simply deleted the key assignment (my personal preference...I could have remapped it as well), and the B key
now functions as it usually does under FSX for automatic altimeter update.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Tibbo
PS: still no solution for the W key, though. Any idea, Dan? Beta-testers?

Hmm the B key has been working fine for me, but when I do push it to adjust the baro pressure automatically the 'voice" says "altimeter"
haha it doesn't bother me though.

it may be you guys keyboards... check if your b key works
Re: "B" key won't work? - DanSteph - 25-12-2008
If you don't remap the defaut "B" key in FsPX you must enter manually the pressure (2992 or 1013 or accordingly to ATC)
It's in welcome and doc for key...
type "B1013" or "B2992"
It work in ATC simply because ATC "eat" keyboard key, fspx don't receive them anymore.

Hey Jason,
true...a voice says "altimeter"...but the barometric pressure doesn't change, unless you enter 4 digits after pressing "B" (see Dan's reply).
Being the lazy person I am, I deleted the FSPX key assignment, so that my barometric pressure would automatically adjust after pressing
"B", saving myself 4 keystrokes each time

Check this brand new FAQ

Typo will be corrected by english peoples. I'm writting the FAQ currently.

actually it does work for me, i've seen the pressure adjust every time.
Re: "B" key won't work? - DanSteph - 25-12-2008
either you changed the key either you do it everytime with ATC window open then !?

ah! i c..so it's all planned lol. I guess i'll try to enter the # manually then. Doesn't make a big difference anyway
Re: "B" key won't work? - Jason - 25-12-2008
well maybe the ATC window is open... im rebuilding my computer right now so i'll have to check afterward. But its entirely possible.
Re: - relichd - 25-12-2008
I only heard it once but note sure what the situation was. Anyway, it worked for me well in terms of automatic Baro settings. For STD I right-click
the Baro knob while climbing above transition altitude and left-click it when descending below that altitude - it's the functionality of my Airbus 318.

Yes, in my current configuration as well. Pressing the "B" key gives me the FsPX Altimeter announcement but also it is auto adjusted. It's
always worked like that for me. I have noticed lately that sometimes I don't hear the announcement but it still auto adjusts.
