Star Citizen isn't picking up my keypresses generated by FreePIE, although they show up in text editors and another recent game I've tried (Alien Isolation).
What method does FreePIE use under the hood to send keypresses? Are there other approaches I can try, using only Python (ie not writing a FreePIE plugin etc)? Comfortable with ctypes though.

Re: Sending Keypresses to Star Citizen
SOLVED -
- SC launcher runs as admin
- Windows seems to prevent comms between apps running as admin and those which are not, for good security reasons
- Starting FreePIE as admin allows it to communicate with SC
- Of course I had to read up on all sorts of much lower level stuff than I'm usually interested in before I discovered this
