I finished rewrite of XPL plugin so had some time to check your issues. Regarding wrong escaping - I see no problem here. The error is reported once the code is executed. From LUA syntax point of view there's nothing wrong with your gsub arguments. The parameters are regular strings. So if you execu...

Thanks for those positive words :-) To your points: you're right, I didn't care about error handling at all, it's one of the things at my todo list. These days I'm rewriting Xplane communication, once it's done I can have a look. Regarding the alt hey I have troubles to simulate it. Do I need AHK? I...

What to do?
I would debug the script - separate the call used for if and the setting one - to see which one is causing troubles.
What also might help:
- run himdacros as admin (required at least once)
- with such error message cursor should be placed to the command causing troubles (AFAIR)

Then it should work
But seriously, I can not check myself because I don't have FSX installed any more. And also it can be windows 8 issue.
So hard to say, I'm afraid without scripting knowledge you can not fully use HidMacros - or its scripted commands.

Can't see how's your script defined exactly. Are you sure the string (argument) is constructed correctly? Do some debug of you script, read & construct the argument first, debug the value and then call Fsx event. Or try FsxEvent with some static content first to see if problem is in event command or...

No, haven't seen it yet.
It happens for any macro or only if you try to communicate with FSX?
Did you start it as admin at least once?

Version 0.1.0.11 A few small improvements were added Versioning - there's build number (version) in bottom status bar. Helps to identify new features Command line parameter -r starts the script immediately. So now 2 arguments are supported file name (without any switch) - loads the script file -r s...

LuaMacros work with devices. The application usually executes some action (via Lua script) triggered by some device event. The device can be keyboard, joystick, game pad but also COM port. Device event is usually key/button press or release. For COM port the event usually happens when some data is r...

This simple script shows typical use of old application HidMacros. It's recommended to run this sample only if you have 2 keyboards attached as one of these keyboards will be (almost) blocked. However you can still run it with one keyboard (and mouse giving you the option to close LuaMacros and have...

I already did some test with DCS. Technically it would be possible as DCS has API available.
So it's only about my motivation and free time.

And it would be LuaMacros, not HidMacros
