    Hello all,
    I have purchased what I require to make an E-stop, and this is a WIP, hopefully complected soon. However now that Simtools has a hot key and capability to disconnect Game Manager from the game, is there a way to bind SHIFT-X to a joystick button so that keyed input goes to Game Manager (running in the background), not the sim/game that is in the active window. I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks

    Thanks Noorbeast, I'll look into it further. Though I suspect finishing the E-stop will be much easier....

    Yeah, that is really true, I think the effort would be worth it, learning upon learning
