[Solved] Assigning a Key Press to a Lua Script

Monterey56 · 2026-05-30T19:46:30Z

Hello John and Peter, I am trying to assign the Alt+H key stroke into a lua script. My Alt+H is assign in FS2024 Controls Keyboard to do two things, The lua script will monitor the airplanes bank angle and if it exceeds 5 degrees the lua script will not fire off the ALT+H command. So basically it will keep everything sync-ed while in level flight. I is inhibited on the ground. I can manually press the Alt+H key and it works, but I have not been successful getting the lua script to do this function for me. Using AI for help, and they do a great job most of the time, but everything we tried so far is not working. I am not asking you to write a lua script for me, but only asking for advice on, is there something we are missing here? Thanks in advance for any tips to get this to work, Ed

You can also consult the MSFS / Asobo documentation for available k-events and a more detailed description of what these do - see https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/Key_Events/Key_Events.htm

Thank you for the very informative reply John and this was written by AI, but now I have a better understanding because you took the time to write a reply to me, thank you and I am going to refer to those documents you recommended.

Have a great day,
