Hotkeys for X-Plane plugin not saved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello!

I use X-Plane 9 with the Linuxtrack plugin. Everything seems to be fine, except 
two things:

1) The settings I make in the Hotkey Manager of X-Plane for the linuxtrack 
plugin are not saved, so I have to change it everytime I start X-Plane. Can you 
tell me where this settings will be stored, so I can check if it's a permission 
problem? I use OSX 10.6

2) When pausing Linuxtrack in most cases the view gets down to some strange 
position and back to normal when resuming again. I use pausing to enter things 
on the panel, so that would be great if it would get fixed.

Thanks,
Bernhard.

Hi,
thanks for the report...
Ad 1) This I think is XPlane's behavior. But you can assign the keys in a 
similar way as joystick buttons are assigned - just go one tab further to 
"keys" and set it there.
This setup should be persistent. I'm going to update the docs probably tomorrow.

Ad 2) Instead of pausing (which actually stops the tracking) use freeze 
function - it should work the way you expect. As for the strange position, try 
pausing and then move mouse - I think that when tracking is paused, it reverts 
to mouse to pan the view...
Let me know if it works for you...
Kind regards,

Michal

Hi,
I just updated the documentation on how to make keyboard assignments permanent, 
so please take a peek at the XplanePluginSetup page.

As for the 2), the behavior differs according to the way you start the tracking.
To be precise - start tracking from the 2D forward view and you should be OK; 
but go to 3D cockpit, move the mouse to look somewhere and start tracking there 
- when you stop tracking, the view would go back to where it started (this is a 
feature, not a bug).
Also when you press freeze, you can use mouse to pan the view, and when you 
press freeze again, the tracking will take over.
Kind regards,

Michal
