Planning your CP/Cockpit buttons - which software do you use?
« on: September 13, 2020, 10:53:08 pm »
Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of building a new cockpit and want to program in a few macro templates that I can switch on the fly and have been using Excel to map the switches with hotkeys for different games (driving, flight etc.) but I don't want to get too far in, as I'm sure that there's an easier way.

I'd love to be able to create a visual of my button layout, assign commands to each button and save multiple templates with different layouts. I'd prefer that it just be design software with a database, as I have MIDI controller software that controls the knobs and dials, and Ultimarc's IPAC software that converts the switches.

Any suggestions?
