Joystick button programming


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm using FSX and FSUIPC 4.927a (registred), with a Saitek X52 and have programmed some buttons, works fine.

That means I could programm commands with the 'key presses' option.

 

But if I want to select a joystick-button with the option 'buttons+switches' , there is no way to
have a reaction of a button which I want to programm.

In other words: if I press a button on my X52, no reaction in FSUIPC windows.

 

What could be wrong?

 

Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have a Saitek driver running which is receiving the buttons presses and allowing you to see them as keypresses. FSUIPC only sees standard joystick buttons via DirectInput, as seen in Windows game controllers, and then only a maximum of 16 32 per joystick.
