Thanks to this thread I learned there is no need to program Hat1 for the POVs (Point of View). With that knowledge in mind I reprogrammed my X52 using the SST (Saitek software). Mode1 for fighters, mode2 for vehicles and mode3 for bombers. Some 48 functions are programmed for the fighter only! Yes, DOWJackL, it is possble to do a full sortie without touching the keyboard. Nevertheless, with those 48 functions I have not yet programmed all functions available in AHII.
For some reason I cannot post an attachment. Otherwise I would have attached my profile. Anyone interested?
DMax, thanks for your hint (I have found the function) but now that I have programmed "Z" (zoom) with the SST, I don't need it anymore.
