PMDG 737 NGX & HidMacros

Having some strange problems with HidMacros & PMDG 737 NGX.

Wonder if any one can point me in the right direction.

Wanted to set up a key for landing lights and a few others.
So for example, in a normal MicroSoft Cessna 172 I bound:
F1 to "LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE"
F2 to "TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT"
F3 to "TOGGLE_JETWAY"
It worked with out issue.

Now with the PMDG 737 NGX loaded.
F1 would not work
F2 and F3 would still work. :?

Also tried F1 with ^l without it working.
Checked the FMC? that it had keys CTRL+L set as lights, yes they were.
If I type [CTRL] L on either keyboard, the lights come on.

Any ideas?

Windows 7, 1xDell & 1xHP keyboard.
FSX & PMDG 737 NGX

Regards
S

Hi, I have no answer to your trouble, but I'd like to setup a keyboard for use with 737 NGX, so is this the only trouble you have with a/c? autopilot works correctly?

Anyway I don't understand very well your problem, could you make any other example? lights are only the problem?

MrSnow I have your same problem, seems PMDG doesn't recognize CTRL, ALT o SHIFT operator.

If you use single letter all works fine, e.g., set in CDU L for landing light and l in HIDMacros, and it wroks. But I'm not happy about this.

It has to work also with operators!
