Saitek X-52 Settings

[Xptical 10]

Hi all,

I know Saitek has their SST software; that's all well and good. But I prefer to map most of the controls as buttons. Especially in a fairly uncomplicated sim. There just isn't much need to program deadbands, macros, and flight modes.

So, in most sims, my right hand is busy with cyclic and rudder. And my left hand is relatively free. I like to map my view controls to the hat switch on the throttle. These are buttons 20~23 in the Windows Control Panel.

TOH doesn't seem to recognize these keypresses.

Any reason why TOH would fail to see these keys?

Thanks.

Sad to hear. I downloaded SST and I'm working up a profile now.

I mapped the NUM+4,8,6,2 into the left hat. 8 and 2 work as expected. Head stays down or up until I command otherwise. 4 and 6 don't work the same. They seem to be mapped to a "glance". I release the hat and the pilot's head centers.

Some of the commands require right or left ALT or CTRL. I don't think SST has a way to decide which ALT/CTRL key is pressed. Does it really matter if I'm using a specific key?

I also used the SST program and the right and left ctrl/alt are different keys. For left it just says ctrl or alt. For the right side is says right ctrl or right alt.

Rodger that.

Also, FWIW, in the training missions, the NUM+4,6 are sometimes broken. If you are in the left seat, they snap. In the right seat (at least for the autorotation mission) they function "properly".
