Should I use Saitek SST software or just ingame setting?

I think he means that you can use the Hat switch for other things rather than the normal use for the hat switch (selecting views/panning, etc).

Thanks got it: was sure hoping there were a bunch "O" tricks i didn't know about on the TrackIR

I use the interface of clod.
You can save profiles for every plane.
Load them, apply them, fly.

At the moment I have 2 profiles Bf 109 and Bf 110.

Knuckles, first, sorry, hadn't checked here in a couple days. Yes, you can remap your hat switches to normal button functions in SST. In the profile editor, find the POV you want to change, hit the arrow, and there's an option for Buttons. It will expand each POV switch (hat switch) to be programmable just like any of the triggers or buttons on the stick. prefer to only set 4 of them, as the angled positions are a bit for me to remember in the midst of heavy maneuvering.

Gents, could some user of X52 tell me what is this clutch button for? (I have it turned off and use it as a regular button)

Good question: I've never figuered that out

Now my question to you is :::::: how do you turn it off and use it as a "Button"

the "Pinkie" lever on the stick is another one ????????

Hi Guys

I have recently bought the game and have a X52 (not Pro)

Does anyone have a profile for this game they could email to me ?

Also I can never see any games in multiplay in the lobby, are there any servers that people play on ?

Thanks

Click on "client" instead of lobby.

The clutch button disables all buttons. If you have named the buttons using SST then when you press a button the name you gave that particular button is displayed in the MFD. If you have lots of profiles you can check the function of a button without it actually doing anything in game by pressing the Clutch button.

To make it a regular button just open Windows control Panel and launch the x52 properties box, navigate to the section for MFD/Buttons brightness and you will see a check box for the option to use the 'clutch' button as a normal button.

The clutch button is more useful with the X52 pro as it displays any names assigned to the POV switches (of which there are 36 possible assignments)- the Standard X52 doesn't and only shows names assigned to the regular buttons.
