Wild Bill,

I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. What happened is that the FS9 window the flight sim was running in just blinked quickly to what appears to be an outside view and back to the 3D cockpit, but nothing happened. However, the same manual "actual" key press combination caused the elevator trim wheel to move, which proves the key press combination of Shift-Numpad 7 is correct. When I run FSX, the 3D image just shifts to the left. It appears that the command string is getting scrambled or changed

So I think my issue resides somewhere else, possibly the touchbuddy.cfg file. I am running under the following environment:

1) Client/Server setup
2) I'm running both the client and server PC's under Win XP
3) I'm running FS9 in a "windowed" mode
4) No other applications are running on the Server PC except touchbuddy and FS9.
5) All my other commands are working, it is just the ones involving the NUMPAD numbers and the shift key.

Some of the settings in both of the Touchbuddy config files:

Client PC (55) Server PC (56)

enables_sendto = 0 0
key press_delay = 50 50
listen_port = 12000 12000

server_password = **XYZ** **XYZ**
allowed_ip = match 192.168.1.55 match 192.168.1.55
connect_ip = 192.168.1.56 192.168.1.56

connect_port = 12000 12000
client_password = **XYX** **XYZ**
run_on_CPU = comment out # comment out #

CPU_Priority = Normal Normal

Note: Sorry, the spaces I put into the above appear to get deleted when I post.

The rest of the parameters, I believe are at default settings. BTW, I have tried other parameter combinations to no avail.

So my question is, are these set correctly, is there anywhere else I should look?

What I'm trying to do is set up a demo in a few weeks to show some members of a flight sim club I belong to the power of the Touchbuddy software. The link to our club website if you are interested. Most of the members fly either FS9 or FSX. A few of us are also into combat sims.

BTW - All my combat profiles appear to work beautifully, it is just the issues with FS9 and FSX.
