I just switched to a Suncom HOTAS set-up, but I had been using the FFP up to this point.
I didn't use the sidewinder profile editor to setup the stick, I used the stick mapping feature within AH itself.
My set-up was like this....
Button 1 (trigger)- Fighters --Set to the Fire all function or N key....on bombers I re-set to F key for fire primary only.
Button 2 (left button on stick)- Fighters-- set to the Zoom function Z key. Bombers set to the secondary fire key or B key.
Button 3 - (Upper right button on stick)Fighters and Bombers -- Set the elevator down trim feature or I key.
Button 4 - (lower right button on stick)Fighters and Bombers -- Set the elevator up trim feature or K key.
Button 5 -(A button on base) Fighters and Bombers -- Set the aileron right trim feature or < key.
Button 6 -(B button on base) Fighters and Bombers -- Set the Flap up feature or the W key.
Button 7 -(C button on base) Fighters and bombers -- set the aileron left feature or the M key.
Button 8 -(D button on base) Fighters and bombers -- Set the Flap down feature or the Q key.
Button 9 - (Shift button on Base) Fighters and bombers -- Set the look up feature or the 5 key on numpad. Use this with the hat views combined and you get 45 degree angle up views around the vis clock.
The hat switch is set for the views..
Push hat forward -- get the look up forward view or 8/5 combination on numpad.
Push hat upper right corner -- get the look forward right view or the 9 on numpad.
Push hat right-- get the look right view or 6 on numpad.
Push hat lower right corner -- get the look back right view or the 3 on numpad.
Push hat back -- get the look back view or the 2 on the numpad.
Push hat lower left corner -- get the look back left view or the 1 on the numpad.
Push hat left -- get the look left view or the 4 on numpad.
Push hat upper left -- get the look forward left view or the 7 on the numpad.
Hat in center position defaults to the look straight ahead view or 8 on numpad.
I'm at work currently so I may have the numbers of keys on the joystick wrong (that's why I added the A,B,C,D coding that the stick has on the buttons), but I'll double check when I get home to make sure its right.
