I Must Be An Idiot

Ok, you won that argument.
Just kidding around, couldn’t help myself.
Curious, are you in the AC trade?

Commodities.
Dude, I’m really down right now. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to use Kolbe’s file included with 4.33. That spreadsheet gave me a headache and where there are supposed to be values to input on the spreadsheet, I don’t have those available. I’m using the latest version of Excel, so maybe it doesn’t work? I’m beyond lost. Does anyone simply have the default keyfile that goes with his awesome graphic on the CH FS&PT tab already made up cause I don’t think I’m going to figure it out. Sigh…nothing like getting your new toy and not being able to play with it!
EDIT: 1217am…figured it out!

Might help a little ….
Or not, now that you’ve figured it out.
There is also a manual on how to use the excel keyfile editor in you DOCS folder.

One thing I didn’t get right was the pinky shift. Could use some help on that. Used Kolbe’s stuff to set DX up, but for some reason the pinky shift didn’t work. I set it in BMS to the actual pinky button and that works, but when I click on it and then another key, it just shows the other key, not the shifted one.
-
…… it just shows the other key, not the shifted one.
Shows? Like in the controller setup UI?
You can’t see the pinky shift working there. Try in game.
Also pinky shift command needs to be on the same key in both the un-shifted and shifted state …. you have to repeat the command.

Sorry, meant in game. I will review the helpful video you sent me when I get home from work and see if I screwed something up. One thing I’m not sure about is I used 1 and 2 for my device numbers in Kolbe’s spreadsheet. Should that possibly be zero and 1 instead? CH CM has them as 1 and 2, so that’s what I used and besides the pinky shift, everything else seems to work. Also, can you tell me what’s going on at the 2:11 mark of the video? Says check output and he’s obviously looking at the shift-unshift parts, but I don’t see him making any changes? What is he checking for? He also checks the new keyfile again at the 2:45 mark, again looking at the shift/unshift functions. Thanks again as I wish I’d see this video last night 5 hours prior to starting lol. Certainly not as hard as I thought.
-
Device count starts at “1” …. so 1 & 2 make sense.
@2:11 … just checking the output tab (that will be the keyfile) looks OK … it’s fully populated and the DX Button assignments at the bottom look OK, with both shift and unshifted states.
@2:45 … that’s the export of the Output tab. It opens in Notepad on a second screen. Just checking that the keyfile looks like it exported correctly/completely.

OMG, I’m so stupid (and tired after last night!). In the controller set up in BMS, I had assumed that since I was depressing the pinkyswitch (button 4) and it didn’t register an unshifted key and when I depressed it and hit another key and it didn’t register a shifted key, that meant it wasn’t working. I just went in game and guess what….it works just fine. Basically, I spent 5 hours last night trying to figure out why the pinkyshift didn’t work and all the time it did, all I had to do was fly and try it. Anyway, that video you posted was very helpful as it assured me I was doing everything right. Owe you a cold one mate, unless you’re English, then I’ll make it room temp and dark!

Not English, but I’ll take a best bitter just the same.
