Jack Sawyer Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Does anyone know what the upside down v is in P3D's settings. For example, I'm trying to figure out what upside down v W means in relation to an Avatar function. I tried the ALT, CTRL, and Shift but they all come up as named. So how do I invoke the command? This ^ I can do it with Font Book on my Mac but have no idea what key it is on a PC. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks fellas.

JMBIII Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Upside down v on my key board is 'shift 6'. ^ is a 'caret', correct ? From Dictionary.com. noun 1. a mark (‸) made in written or printed matter to show the place where something is to be inserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jm, but how do I invoke it in P3D or FSX as I believe it would be the same. Say in Settings/Keyboard it says ^ W to move the Civilian guy a certain way. What key commands would I press to get it? Surly not Shift + 6 + W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBIII Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Shift + 6 then W would be my response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well, that didn't work. What I need to know is when I'm in settings, and I can assign a key or key combination, what key do I press to get ^? Because if I press Shift ^ I get Shift 6. It's in a lot of commands, it's just I have no idea what particular key causes it. I know it's not the carat, it's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBPilot Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I don't use P3D but in FSXSE it means that the command will be invoked when you release the key. Any help? Rupert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Ahhhhh! Thanks Rupert! Ok, that makes sense. But, if I wanted to create the same command what key causes it? Not ^ because that gives me Shift 6.

CBPilot Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It's not a key but a check box in the key assignments settings box. When checked the carat appears beside the key in the assignment lists. I don't understand it to be an indication of two keystrokes but rather that the command invokes when the key is released rather than the default of when the keystroke is pressed. Hope that makes sense? Btw the checkbox is available when you're assigning the keystroke to your command: you don't see it as a checkbox in the commands listing table.

I don't understand, I'm gonna print this out and fool with it. I'm having the most extreme difficult time getting that darned Civilian dude to work.

CBPilot Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Harder to write than to do!!! Go to your settings and attempt to change/confirm a key assignment for e.g. nil throttle (F1 on my setup). When you change the assignment by pressing F1 it appears in the main box but there's a small check box below which offers "when key is released". Of course, P3D might be different and I've wasted your time. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
