Can anyone please tell me how to get Autohotkey to work in FS2020? I’ve created hotkeys that I have tested in Windows 11 and they work fine but they do not work at all once inside FS2020. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
IIRC Autohotkey used to be known as AutoIT. I used to use that for scripting installs etc.
At a guess I would say, if for example you were trying to drive the ATC window, that Autohotkey can’t see that window, or its contents, but if you were to pop that out into its own window, separate from the sim, you might then be able to ID it from its window title, and may even see some of its elements, like work out which menu its on etc. At the very least you could blindly send keypress to that window.
What I am actually trying to do is to create a TRIM hotkey for my Tartarus v2 scroll wheel because unfortunately their “amazing” Synapse 3 software no longer allows you to create macros for SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN.
Thank you
You’d need two keys, for trim up, and trim down. Those can probably be assigned to a button natively from within the controllers page.
I am using the default trim key which are num7 and num1. The problem is this. I am able to set the scroll wheel down and scroll wheel up to those keys BUT inside FS2020 I have to scroll up or down a whole lot just to get 1 degree of trim up or trim down.
Before the Razer Tartarus I had the Nostromo N52 which is essentially the same device but with the Nostromo I was able to create macros for scroll up and scroll down so that trimming would only require a few clicks up or down on the scroll wheel. Unfortunately I cannot create these macros with the Tartarus. It lets you create macros for literally any other key on that device but not the scroll up/down wheel. It’s just so ridiculous but this is why I was hoping to maybe have a workaround with Autohotkey.
Thank you

I’m with you. Outside of another tool, another way to do it would be to adjust the amount one turn of the trim wheel does in the planes CFG files. I forget which but I would assume “flight_model.cfg”, assuming it is a non-Marketplace product.
I’m not sure what other tools might make a single turn up or down into 3-4 for example. Do you have the possibility of turning on mouse wheel acceleration?
Unfortunately the Tartarus software is basically junk and does not have that option.
I am going to give this a try to see if perhaps it will solve my problem

I had the same issue and finally figured it out. Most of the times, a keypress need to be held down longer than normal for games to fully register it.
I added SetKeyDelay,,30 at the top of my AutoHotKey script.
