One BMS action on more than one (DX) button?

[Inimigo]

As the title suggests, is it possible to do the following example:

Could I assign, eg, joystick button 13 to toggle the “A-A refuelling door”, while I also want Throttle button 3 to toggle the “A-A refuelling door”?
In this case, do I simply update the .keyfile like the below for example?

Joystick button 12

SimFuelDoorToggle 12 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

Throttle button 3

SimFuelDoorToggle 34 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

Or am I restricted to use only 1 DX assignment in the .key file(eg only the Joystick button 12) and then program the keypress (in this case <shift+r>(0X13 1)) to the Throttle button 3?

Have looked and searched, but couldn’t immediately find the answer to this one.

Thanks up front.</shift+r>

You can assign one single command to every single button on your HOTAS is you want to.

So, yes, what you’re asking will be work just fine.

[Inimigo]

great. so, the way as in my example. correct?

Joystick button 12

SimFuelDoorToggle 12 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

Throttle button 3

SimFuelDoorToggle 34 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

Is there a specific order when adding new (DX) buttons? Should I use the “Keyfile-generator.xls” as chronological guideline?

I do prefer Kolbe’s keyfile generator, and I think your example is OK (looks OK … ).

Have you tired it? Does it work? If it works, it’s OK.

damnit, it didn’t work. BMS Recognizes my DX buttons (showing up in the SETUP screen, from 128 (WIN DX 129) to 151.
Have pasted the below in my .key file, though ingame nothing works.

Wanted to use DX assignments as much as possible, hence the tentative.
any tips are welcomed

My controller commands have and ‘8’ in the third section and not a ‘-1’. Seems to work well for me. Only my keyboard commands use the ‘-1’. (Ref: Falcon BMS Keyfile Manual.pdf pg 24)

Yours: SimStepMasterArm 140 -1 -2 0 0x0 0

Mine: SimArmMasterArm 293 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimSafeMasterArm 294 8 -2 0 0x0 0

If I’m not mistaken, that has to do with how the DX command was created.

Have a look at C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Generic\Kolbe\Falcon BMS Keyfile Manual.pdf in the DX section (~page 24).

Thanks for the reply guys.
I found my mistake (knowing it’s clearly mentioned): not having used Notepad (++)

As a result of having used Word/Wordpad, all of my lines started and ended with “\PAR” and a bunch of other code for God-knows-what-reason.
So, most of it working (only ECM and wheel brakes don’t seem to respond).

@derk, the 8 behind the DX# is “assigned via UI” I believe.
Again, thanks to both of you.
