how to set key assignments in p3dv4

 In Prepar3D (P3D) version 4, setting key assignments involves configuring keyboard shortcuts or joystick buttons to perform specific actions within the simulator. Here's a general guide on how to set key assignments in P3D v4:

Setting Key Assignments:

  1. Launch Prepar3D:

    • Start Prepar3D and load a flight or go to the main menu.
  2. Access Controls Menu:

    • Navigate to the "Options" menu on the top toolbar.
  3. Select Controls:

    • Within the Options menu, select "Controls" or "Controls Assignments."
  4. Choose an Aircraft Profile:

    • Aircraft profiles allow you to customize controls for specific aircraft. You can choose a default profile or create a new one.
  5. Assign a Key or Button:

    • In the Controls menu, you'll see a list of actions and associated key/button assignments. To set a new assignment:
      • Locate the action you want to assign (e.g., "Toggle Landing Lights").
      • Click on the empty box under the "Key" column for that action.
      • Press the desired key or combination of keys.
      • If you want to assign a joystick or button, click on the empty box under the "Button" column and press the desired joystick button.
  6. Save the Changes:

    • After assigning keys or buttons, make sure to save your changes. Look for a "Save" or "Apply" button within the Controls menu.
  7. Test the Assignments:

    • Exit the Controls menu and test your key assignments in the simulator. Ensure that pressing the assigned key or button triggers the desired action.

Additional Tips:

  • Profile Management:

    • P3D allows you to manage multiple control profiles. You can create different profiles for various aircraft or preferences.
  • Default Assignments:

    • P3D comes with default key assignments. If you're unsure about which keys/buttons are already assigned, you can refer to the default assignments list in the Controls menu.
  • Search Function:

    • If you have many assignments, you can use the search function in the Controls menu to quickly find a specific action.
  • Advanced Controls:

    • For more advanced control customization, you may explore the "Advanced Controls" section, where you can assign controls for specific views, instrument panels, and more.

Remember that the steps may vary slightly based on updates and changes to P3D. Always refer to the user manual or documentation provided with your specific version of Prepar3D for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
