Title: Button mapping
Post by: shppr01 on September 06, 2020, 03:40:06 PM

Is anyone else having problems with button mapping on the thrustmaster? I will map the controller and five minutes later I have to do it again. it does not stay mapped ! Now the same thing is going on with my X52 pro! Kind of hard to play when in the middle of the flight, I lose my buttons and auger new holes in the landscape!! Any help would be appreciated!

Hope you find a solution soon!

I’m in the market for a new stick and this is one on the list...

Please let us know when you find out the cause.

My x52 was a good stick I couldn’t get used to the twisty stick though. The thrustmaster t 1600 I have is a great one as well. The nice thick is if you get the throttle with it, it has a rudder on the throttle. This makes it worthwhile for me!  If you’re looking, look closely at the thrustmaster with throttle!!

Shppr01, have you checked that "auto select mode" isn't checked? A glitch might change it during flight.

Maybe more importantly, check if you have some button on any of your controllers or keyboard assigned to change mode! Both in Map Keys and Map Controllers under Global there's Mode 1/2/3/4 Select and if you have any of them assigned to a button you may accidentally change the mode during flight.

I’ve looked and see nothing amiss. But then I have no idea what I’m looking at! One question is could it be my usb hub? I don’t think it’s 3.0. I’m not really tech savvy so I’m grasping all the straws! I guess I can still set up the thursday tank wars and no play. That’s kind of like putting me in front of a candy shop with 1000.00 and saying I can’t go in!!!

Go to Map Keys/Global/Mode 1/2/3/4 Select and see if there's any key assigned. Then go to Map Controllers. From the drop down menu choose each of them including the Mouse and check if you have any button assigned to Global/Mode 1/2/3/4 Select.

If you plug an older item into a USB 3.o it should work fine.
