Instead of editing the xml file directly why do you not use the GUI?
It will make it a lot more simple in the beginning.

Regards...

It´s posible to do in CH Pro Throttle usb reverse thrust similar to Saitek Joy in Xplane.

"sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_thro"
Both are 8 element float array datarefs.

"sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_propmode" to reverse the engine.
Prop mode: feather=0,normal=1,beta=2,reverse=3
This is a 8 element integer array dataref.

I don't recommend to edit xml file directly unless you're 100% sure what you are doing.
There's no reason for direct edit.
To assign different function on key/button - you need to script such macro and some status variable (or simulator variable) that you test first and by the result you choose what action should be done. Little programming but there's no other way.

No.
If you use scripted macros, you can replace actual Xplane command by HIDMacros.Debug "some_string" and it will produce output to Script tools - Error log tab. And it also produces OutputDebugString call which can be viewed e.g. in DebugView application.
If your macros are sending XPL commands as predefined actions, there's not much you can do at computer without XPL.

It seams that the guys of Bombardier Aeronautics they give me the keyb... :)))).

I use for the stickers Inkscape and laser printer... The paper is generic for printer stickers and then
I put traslucent paper in order to avoid ageing of the stickers. I use winylic glue with a brush to imprimate
before the keyboard.

I hope you like those ones.

Sorry about my english skill, It´s quite poor.

Thx & Merry Xmas and Happy End of the World ;)
