Setting FSX Radios, OBSs and the Autopilot Using the Keyboard Numberpad

Numpad Control (NpC) allows you to directly input Com, Nav, ADF, Transponder, OBS and Autopilot settings in FSX using the keyboard number pad instead of mouse clicks. NpC is a set of freeware LUA scripts that expand and enhance the good work of “dazz” (Dario Iriberri ) that was originally presented here  http://forum.avsim.net/topic/336131-...your-keyboard/ .  One feature of NpC is that most entered values, such as radio frequencies, appear directly on the radio’s display as the digits are entered. NpC requires a registered version of FSUIPC4. The zip file, NpC_v1.0.zip, containing 11 NpC LUA scripts, a quick reference guide, and an instruction manual is attached. Save NpC_v1.0.zip to a temp folder, unzip it and open README-NpCManual_v1.0.pdf for installation and operation instructions. If you decide to install NpC the 11 LUA script files will need to be copied or unzipped into the FSX Modules folder.

Updated files NpCv1.1:
    - this one includes a script for entering airspeed for those aircraft equipped with an auto-throttle. Speeds can be entered in Knots or Mach number

Updated files NpCv2.2:

NumPad Control (NpC) is a program for entering Com, Nav and ADF radio frequencies, Transponder codes, VOR OBS/CRS settings, Auto-throttle airspeed, and Autopilot altitude, vertical speed, and heading values in FSX using the keyboard numberpad instead of mouse click spots. NpC is programmed primarily for aircraft with default FSX avionics (radios, transponders, and autopilots that were developed within standard FSX programming guidelines, so it does work with many freeware add-on aircraft). In addition, this updated version of NpC also supports third party add-on aircraft such as the PMDG 737NGX / B777, Flight1 King Air B200 and the A2A Cherokee 180. NpC is a set of Lua scripts and thus requires a registered copy of FSUIPC4 to work.  Installation and configuration manual included.

An NpC overview video is available at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2p6CHxMOl8  .

Updated files NpCv2.21 now attached below:

NpC v2.21 - some small changes from v2.2 including a script you can use to switch autopilot input between Nav and GPS, the ability to set the PMDG B777 Mach window, and instructions on re-sizing and re-positioning the NpC message window.
