Two weeks ago I downloaded and installed I registered a FSUIPC version. The latest one (4.80).
Have FSX with a HOTAS Warthog and a Milviz F-15. I am trying to assign key commands to the throttle hat switch in profile mode to go with my F15. Go to FSX Controls, look for the command assigned to the hat switch, its the pan view (not sure the name), delete the joystick assignment and return to FSX. Go into FSUIPC, keys assignment, select each of the hat switch cardinal points positions, select profile mode to restrict the key presses to this particular profile, and assign key presses to each of the 4 (up, down, left and right) positions. Exit FSUIPC and back to FSX.
Go back to FSX and try to use my now expertly set new keys assignments. No joy, pan view its there. Go back to FSX controls and the joystick assignment for the hat view and check its really deleted. Does not show up there. Go back to FSUIPC and check the key presses are properly set. They are.
Other keys programmed and assigned to buttons in my HOTAS Warthog work flawlessly, in general and profiles modes.
Am I missing something about this button?. Hat switches seem to be special for windows.,. I am sure someone else has found similar issues?
(Selecting "ignore controls" within FSX does nort seem to do the work either, but just tried this once...).
Is there any way to tell FSX to consider my hat switch as normal buttons?
Thanks for any help.
