--- End quote ---

This is NOT what I said so, why you quote me ? I haven't said anything about a "single keystroke", I said you should use ANY key ALREADY USED BY FSX!!! In this case, the F11/F12 are used by default to control cameras.

Which means, you CAN set to a "single keystroke", but you must also REMOVE those keys from FSX, otherwise there will be a KEY CONFLICT!


--- Quote ---The tutorial guy, states "M" is not assigned to anything, which is why he says he uses it, maybe, like me he doesnt need a "Magneto" assignment?
--- End quote ---

The tutorial guy is wrong, because the M key is clearly assigned by FSX, and regardless if HE doesn't need it, FSX will still reserve it. Which is why, you lose assignment when you restart FSX or crash it. Crash it will surely NOT save you any key mapping in FSX.

Again, you must DE-ASSIGN the key from FSX, BEFORE you can re-assign it to GSX.


--- Quote ---I had no idea some aircraft have only painted service doors, instead of working ones, especially as the tutorial Im working from
--- End quote ---

Well, that's nothing we can do much about it. But of course, GSX allows to ignore fake doors with the configuration editor.


--- Quote ---but on loading passengers, I dont here the welcome from the stewards, as they board, or the clatter of children or anything that this guy gets on his default fsx plane tutorial.
--- End quote ---

Repeating that, nothing will work correctly until you PROPERLY configure the airplane, those sounds can only be heard from INSIDE the cockpit.


--- Quote ---The baggage handlers do not load any baggage at all, although cargo doors are open, there is no animated person loading, and suit cases are totally missing from the carts?
--- End quote ---

BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T CONFIGURED THE AIRPLANE!!!!


--- Quote ---I notice you mention a key input (SHIFT+E and then 3), this is almost impossible for me to do with out experiencing severe pain. To end as, my fingers are already starting to complain, trying to start ctrl+f12 or ctrl f11 is not an option, I must try and assign it to one command.
--- End quote ---

Do you realize this doesn't have ANYTHING to do with GSX ? We are discussing the DEFAULT way to open doors on a DEFAULT airplane!! It was exactly the same even BEFORE installing GSX.

There are some free utilities that allows you to control default doors using the mouse. Not remember how they are named, but there are several on the major freeware sites.

Manchester EGCC:
Yes, thanks, I do understand I need to learn to re assign keys, but see, at the moment the keyboard is fixed above my head into the upper fake LED lit up high voltage, Fire & oxygen back up emergency  panels. This part of the cockpit, is being made for me in white faced mdf by my friend whos a carpenter. it wasnt my inention to usee the keyboard as the primary way to input commands, Can i justm ke it clear I need to configure these assigments without using a keyboard, and instead use voice commands as in the video ofthe guy using the e.speaking software. I will reset the fsx controls to default and, then hopefully find one of these software programs where i can input most commands by voive only, as I say, keybord operation, for inputting chages is not an option. 8 years ago, I was still laying concrete slabs and pile driving fence posts into the garden, Its a pity your tone doesnt reflect how depressed I am, that in only 8 years I am virtually housebound apart from my motorbilty car. What Im asking here, is help in inputting these configs without using a keyboard, so, I would  SAY "press ctrl F11".... or SAY "clear assigment for exit door 3". To open main doors, "SAY" "open exit door 1".  I also am aware the pax boarding can only be heard in flight cabin.

Its quite sad many forums ignore the problems which many, like me face using a computer you all take for granted, is having a disability a crime? My only other option would be to cancel the 27 inch Benq monitor order, and buy a touch screen 27 inch monitor and some people have put a vitual keyboard onto that, so that only one finger is needed to press the screen , but these are very expensive, £255 -£450 which is out omy pocket. however, the screen once installed behind the front flight windows will be too far away for me to touch, so I wont be any better off. because the whole cockpit is a representation of a real A320, i dont have the room really for a keyboard  except installed in the panel above, and then i only use it for chaning windows settings/ shut down/ and a few basics. I do hope you understand & take into consideration my dexterity is not good, and willl only get worse, which is why Im getting pretty fed up trying to find an alterntive to keybaord functions. Aagain many thanks for your oments , but unfortunelty they dont answer the main question, and that ish how to configure  the aircrafts door openings without using a keyboad.?? ???

My comments are made only in relationship with GSX, which is the product we are supporting here.

Your questions doesn't have anything to do with GSX, you are ONLY asking how to operate FSX in a specific way that should suit you needs, which is an entirely different issue, and it doesn't really belong to this section (which is the "GSX Sharing" section, BTW, the one where users share airplane configuration they made) and probably not to this forum either.

Generally speaking, there's software that can be used to do speech recognition and create keyboard macro to send to any application. For example this one:

http://www.mymsspeech.com/

But it resulted from a 10 seconds Google search. I don't have any idea how well/bad it works or vouch for it.

Manchester EGCC:
I will try it, but I have sent a message first through their contact form,  as products for Windows XP  does not seem to be available. Im ging to have look at the list of aircaft you do support, and hope theres a British Airways airbus in their some where, and a store to purchase one that will, sot of plug and play with not having to go through this config process, which would make my life a lot easier, if none, then sadly I will be unable to use GsX as inteneded.But thanks again for yiur  continued support.:)

We are discussing a speech recognition software that is supposed to translate any sentence into a sequence of key commands. I really hope you don't expect this to work "magically", without even requiring to configure it. How that program is supposed to *know* which key sequence it will have to send, if you don't tell ?

For the last time: your issues doesn't have ANYTHING to do with GSX. Your issue is that you don't find easy/comfortable to open the airplane doors using the default key combinations as set by FSX.

Airplane doors could be opened (or not) way before GSX even existed! And installing GSX won't change how they operate (or not).

Maybe, you are trying to say that, *BECAUSE* of GSX, you know have a REASON to open such doors ? Nobody said you HAVE to open doors, in order to use GSX. That's ONLY the default behavior for DEFAULT and internally-supported airplanes!

But you said you want to use an unsupported airplane, which means you MUST create a configuration for it, before being able to use it in GSX.

Since you are creating a configuration file for it, you can simply configure all the doors that have a difficult key combination, using the "Door without open/close checks" option in the airplane configuration utility for that door. You MUST do this for "fake" (painted only) doors anyway, but that option might be useful in your case even for doors that CAN be opened, but you find difficult to, because of the key combination.
