I would like the option to hit Shift + 1, 2, 3, 4 ect...for salvo instead of having to type /.salvo

It doesnt even have to be shift...Just any "key" +  # for salvo

Would be nice though I managed to work around this by programming macro's into my X-52 so I just hit the toggles at the base of my stick and it aoutmaticly types in the salvo setting.  Though for all those with not so many buttons or the $ to spend I think this is a good request.

Great, no you want me to try and remember another Alt, SHFT type command instead of just remembering  .salvo

I like the "dot" commands, because the cammand word is exactly what you want to do.

I would have to go back and view the B17 documentary I saw a week ago, but I believe the salvo was selected on a dial-type switch. Just turn it to the desired salvo.
