x55 Rhino with IL2? Not working?

They call the SLD a two position slider, but it's not a typical slider like an axis, and it only has 1 position. I don't see a light in the control panel light up either, but it works in the HUD software. Some of those lights were confusing to me to figure out, but I finally did figure them all out. But at the moment I cannot remember.. It was confusing when I did figure it out... I think it was when I actually called their support techs on the phone that we figured out the remaining buttons lights.

Yeah, the manual only lists the slider but doesn't say anything about what it's function is?

BTW, I was just playing with that 'slider' and using an Advanced command you can program a keystroke when it is pressed and also when it is released. I just put the flaps up/dn commands in there and that makes it a 2 position slider. Kind of a weird way to do it, but when I slide it forward it sends the F key, and when I slide it back it sends the V key.

That's 1 possible use for the switch. Not a problem when usin for WWII planes ie "quick & dirty", but for bigger planes I like to use a "variable/multiposition" switch/rotator knob for the flaps to drop them gradually.

I sent "tech support" a question on what this switch would be use for & why it isn't being recognized in the windows 7 "properties test screen" . I'll let you know what I find out.
