PAPI problems. I can not see the PAPI in any airbase. Installation on a formated PC

Open your keyfile in Notepad or some other text editor (it’s in your User->Config folder with a .key file type).
Search for a line like: SimCommsSwitchLeft 31 8 -2 0 0x0 0 –- post it here in reply … mine is set to DirectX joystick button 32 (it starts with 0= button 1)
We might be able to "decode it if we see it

Babite, sorry for my late reply. I have no much time to use my pc. I will try to follow your advice. I tell you that i am very but on computers, but never happened this problem with others simulators, like IL2 1946, Xplane 8, all FSimulator. I don’t fly on line either, since i am very bad with this Falcom BMS sim, because i am not getting any progress, only to land instrumental at night.
Once i get any improvement, i’ll tell you.
Thank you so much for your help.
Regards

All are software with different settings and different names for the same types of things. It may happen slowly that you understand what’s going on. We all run at different speeds and learn different ways, you pulled off the night ILS landing so you’re able to do it, but it will be frustrating at times yes. I used to read the first Falcon 4 manual from cover to cover multiple times only to have issues with my old win98 pc quitting midflight.
Only in the past 3 years did I find patches to Falcon4, and eventually I stumbled across BMS. When I saw how much info. was hiding in the BMS manuals it took me a few months to read through it all and find what I needed at the time.
Your flying skill will transfer from one program to another, as far as the correct keys not everything is needed offline. I still haven’t done an online flight to date. Learn the sim in blocks, ie learn how to navigate, aircraft performance, takeoff and landing, AA weapons, AG weapons, etc. Some of them will come easily, others not so much. I still fight with my system from time to time.
When it gets dull or boring run through the Dog Fight module and blow off some steam while blowing up the other guy. The biggest thing here is to have fun while trying to keep it as realistic as you can stand.

Babite, thank you helping me again. After so many simulators, i never felt so confused like with this one. At the same time, it makes me feel good 'cause it has something special, may be beacause it is different, very realistic, much more tan the ones i had, except IL2 1946.
I am trying and trying to practice only offline, because i do nothing well. I am seen videos in YouTube and Reading manuals but it is hard for me. I hope one day will start seen the ins and out of BMS and then, i´m sure everything will be easier.
Until then, i keep going on, and getting mad many times.
It is good to read you that you also needed time to learn. I thought i was very bad because i was not able to learn much more of this Falcon BMS.
I set all setup in realistics, i allways did it with all my simulator.
Thank you again
