Hotas X and head swivel

[Yankee67]

My joystick set up arrived today.  How do folks out there pan around the cockpit?  What are your button setups?  What do you use the slider rocker button for?

So far, flying, landing, and using rudder on take off and taxi is a lot easier with the joystick.  But looking around and zooming in here and there isn't as easy as it was with the mouse.  Unless I'm missing some sort of trick with the hat knob on the joystick.  Is there a way to use it to pan around, instead of look left, look right, look back left, etc?

you want to use snap views not panning. if that is the thrustmaster hotas x stick, i have the rocker set as my rudder control and i locked the stick to keep it from twisting.

i all my views setup using the hat switch...i use the button on the right front of the stick for my straight up view and when used in combination with the hat switch, you can see a lot.

trigger fires the primary weapon only...middle triangular button on the top of the stick is secondary fire...button to the right of that is zoom. the 2 buttons on the front of the throttle handle are flaps up/down. the 3 buttons under your thumb rest area on the right of the throttle handle are...bottom, channel vox...middle range vox...top wep. the single button on the bottom of the throttle handle is brakes.

i can get you the button numbers when i get home and jump online...
