Terror, you can use all those extra buttons on your stick now, you just have to use the SGE game configuration software that came on your Saitek CD to program them, not the joystick mapping in Aces High. A manual that will teach you to use the software is on the CD as well. Its pretty easy, but if you would rather not bother with it, drop a note here and I will send you my Aces High configuration for the X36f combo that you can install and use on your computer.
