Thank you for the response, Pete. I'm new to all of this, including the forums, I'm kinda stumbling around and trying to find my way. As for assigning the pan view, I've tried that a gazillion times in P3D in the key and buttons assignment list of P3D. I assign the hat to "View (pan)," it shows the hat bound but the hat will only move the view up incrementally with each press of the button. It won't move the cockpit view back down or sideways. I tried to figure out if the hat was broken by temporary assigning it to different functions and that worked fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not a mechanical malfunction but rather something messed up with the binding routine in P3D. I need someone knowledgeable to walk me through the steps to remove and regenerate P3D's program files that control the bindings. I think my best shot is to trash whatever script is messed up and let P3D or FSUIPC rebuild it. I just don't know which files to dump to get a clean start. ...You mentioned assigning the axis either in P3D or FSUIPC? Isn't that what I just described or is it a different procedure?

Hi, Peter and Anyone Else Who Can Help! I can't figure out how to get the hat button on my Thrustmaster 1600M FSC joystick to work properly. It did when I first installed it a couple of weeks ago, but now it only works in one direction -- Up! I've reinstalled the latest version of P3D and the joystick several times, but no luck. Today I purchased FSUICP5 figuring it would override any native bindings in P3D but it didn't. The major problem is that I'm just not very computer savvy. I know I must be missing something in the settings either in FSUICP5, but I haven't got clue what it is. I'd really appreciate step-by-step instructions for setting up the bindings so I can pan with the hat button in all directions like it did when I first installed the joystick. I'm trying to get it to with the A2A Cessna 172 add-on.
