What am I doing wrong? I've gone into stick settings and tried to get my new Sidewinder Pro set up so the hat gets 8 views, but I can only get 4 out of it. What am I missing?

is the hat 8-way? are you making sure to click "set button" for each one, and then when you're done clicking "ok" ?

also, double check in setup to make sure your stick is being recognized properly, if it's not you'll need to re-install dx.

if it's only a 4-way, you'll need to map a button to toggle view sets back and fourth bewteen 1 and 2...

Thanks for the reply, Shane.

It is definitely an 8-way hat and I thought I had set things up right, but I will try again. The stick seems to be recognized all right...?

Are you new ?
cause I'm unsure but I think you need to map the "oblique/diagonale" view by yourself in the mapper.

yes, he does if he hasn't... and to click apply for each, then ok when he has them all set.

Thanks Shane and Straffo...

Yes, I'm new. I did go into the stick mapping setup and thought I was doing what I needed to do. I will try again tonight when I get time.

I flew AW and WBs for about 6 years, but have been away for the last 5 years or so. Downloaded AH and am very impressed. Hoping to get online again soon.

Is there a condensed source of info about AH somewhere? I appreciate any pointers.

straffo,

Thanks for the links. I finally got the 8-way hat to work. It was me not understanding exactly what to do.

Thanks for your help.
