Thanks to Nomak and the others who replied. Yes, I had also asked for help on the IL2 boards and ultimately got my answer there.
I have all three games (IL2-FB-PF) installed.
My problem was that I needed to enter all the setting twice in each box to clear out the old ones, otherwise it left two setings in.
I ended up rpogramming the view keys to the number pad, then using the Saitek SST software to assign the views to those keys. Only thing is there is no direct 6 view as in AH, and to go from loking back right to back left, you have to go back thru the front. No cutting accross the back like AH. I know some people claim AH is not 'realistic" in that respect, but it sure makes it easier to track the other a/c at times.
Anyway, now have things set up to a reasonable facsimile of my AH controls, so I don't get too confused when switching between them.
Thanks again to all who posted ideas and help!:aok
