Disable TIR and hold forward view?

Disable TIR and hold forward view? - 11/27/14 06:25 PM

Using TARGET, I'm having trouble with this one for my Aces High config. I'm trying to do a couple things with one keypress of the CSD button.

I want to:

1. Disable my TrackIR with the F9 key, then
2. press and hold the Keypad 8 key for a locked forward view (saved as all the way forward and up so I can see over my dash), then
3. Enable TrackIR once again when the CSD button is released, going back to my normal TrackIR views.

I thought it would be simple enough but nothing seems to work (I'm close though). I can get the TIR to disable, and lock on to a forward view then re-enable my TIR when I release but my forward view only goes to my standard forward view (not all the way forward and up looking over the dash as I saved it).
I tried a few things but this is one.

PRESS:
Pulse F9(disable TIR) with Hold KP8(Forward View)
RELEASE:
F9 Pulse

Hope someone can help out here,
Thanks

The solution, I believe, is to use the "Press" and "Release" commands defined in the "Type"
box for your Hold KP8 command. This would simulate the holding of KP8 even if you are not
pressing down on the button. So the order of events in your chain command would be:

PRESS:
Pulse F9 (disable TIR)
Press KP8 (this will act like KP8 is continuously being pressed down)
RELEASE:
Release KP8 (this will release KP8; important this is defined to prevent keyboard buffer overflow)
Pulse F9 (enable TIR)

Hope I'm understanding the problem correctly here and this helps out.
