Title: Joystcik PTT button
Post by: EHM-0641 Rico on April 18, 2006, 08:39:32 am

Sup people,

My joystick has this PTT button on it , and I'm trying to configure it with TS, but it won't go. Windows won't recognise it as a key press.

Is there any other way to do it, like with some kinda program or something like that ..?

Any help is welcome

Regards

Looks like the Saitek X52 which I have as well. Are you using the Saitek programming software to reprogram the joystick? Pressing that key is the equivalent of lower case c for me when using the profile.

You might need to upgrade the software HERE (http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=8486)

Have you got the profile? If not download it from HERE (http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/x52pro.htm)

Hey Bill , thnx allot for the tips....it's indeed the X52.

I have the latest software, but not the profile..didn't knew they had that stuff..

I downloaded it, but it still wont work..

Btw, I have Windows Vista beta as OS..maybe that's it

Possibly, or maybe your beta version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X is incompatible with that joystick :)

Try joy-to-key, can map a joy button to a keypress, map it to the key you use to transmit on TS.
