General Question How to Change Nosecone Key

[Interstellar Planet]

I do orbiter on a laptop without a numpad, so I have to hold down the function key and press "k" if I want to raise the pitch of a spacecraft. This causes problems because the "k" key by itself opens/closes the nose cone of a delta glider IV. If I accidentally do not hold down the function key, the nose cone pops of in mid-flight which is VERY annoying. Is there anyway I can change the keys that control the nose cone? Keymap.cfg doesn't seem to say anything about nose cone controls.

The nosecone is a vessel-specific control, so it's not configurable with keymap.cfg.

It's currently hard-coded in the module, so you'll have to change it in Orbitersdk/samples/DeltaGlider/DeltaGlider.cpp and recompile the module.

It's easily done. Just search the file for OAPI_KEY_K and change it to one of your choice.

Edit: I just noticed that you were talking about DeltaGlider IV. That's out of my jurisdiction, so can't help you there. Sorry.

Do you know Joy2Key ? It allows you to assign keyboard keys to your joystick or favorite controller. Might solve your problem. Or maybe you can invest in a cheap USB joystick ? :hmm:

Me too. Hold the function key down tight.
