[simpits-tech] KEYSTROKE add on for BMS 0.98

[Mark Doran]

What the 0xFFFFFFFF value should do in there is make the key name visible in
the in-game config screen from which you can assign it a key value manually.
If you want to you can manually select the key per line by placing the
correct hex value in the file at the outset.

Frank's technique here is I think the good shortcut for getting to a file
that does have specific values: my plan is to make just such a file with all
"F" hex values and then just run through assigning keys a b c d e f g h I j
k l.... for functions in order until I get all the ones that IO think we
need for pit builder use and publish that in case it helps for everyone.

FYI, I just checked in what I think is the last of the new code required to
place every last knob/switch directly in every possible position with a
single key command for each discrete position (no more stateless toggle
commands!! :-).  Nice round number now -- 140 new key commands since SP3...

Now the purists (looks around quickly to see if Gene is watching ;-) may say
that doing this with keyboard events is pretty hokey and will add to the
tale of woe by saying that the Falcon4 sh.mem interface is less than ideal
but I reckon that "I/O" things for Viper drivers are much better now: at
least we have direct stateless/mappable commands that can be injected from
physical controllers for every active cockpit function in the game and the
output stuff works consistently for all data values presented regardless of
out-the-window view.

Actually the more I work with it the more the sh.mem interface is actually
growing on me.  How's that for scary??

Now if I can just get the BMS DirectX expert to teach me enough to whack out
some MFD images... ;-)

Cheers,

Mark.
