I dont have any of the sst installed. I actually didnt use the cd either. I just plugged in the joystick and let windows use whatever drivers and that worked great for me. It avoided having to recalibrate stick every week.
u can map button withing aces high. go to options, controls, map controller. i just click the button that i want to program twice really fast and it opens the "option windows" then select your preference for that stick. this is how I have mine set up.
on stick:
upper 4 way switch:
up= clipboard
right= text (maximize/minimize)
left= auto pilot level mode
down= auto pilot angle mode
"Safe switch"= select secondary weapon
button to the right of it= flaps raise
button just bellow= flaps lower.
black button to the left of 8 way switch= wep
8 way switch is my views which is auto selected by ah. except for the "up" view which i changed to up and behind.
trigger has 2 functions first (press only 1/2 way) is for primary weapon (machine guns in planes that have cannons/mg) and press all the way to fire all weapons. usefull for when u need to mark tanks or other objects and dont want to waste your cannon rounds.
"pinky" button=fire secondary. useful when flying il2's and u dont need to fire mg (cant damage tanks
) or when dropping eggs or rockets. use with the "safe switch" above.
throttle:
4 way switch: I have my zoom in/out and zoom toggle.
I also use one of the button to give check sixes.
I dont use any of the rotary dials or whatever u call them
dont forget to match the main throttle control to the engines.
for vh's
since gv's dont have flaps or wep I use these buttons to jump positions (driver, mg, main gun, etc.)
hope I didnt confuse you guys
. the x52's have so many buttons that once u program them u only need the keyboard for text. some people have the vox programmed into the stick but I could never make it work for some reason.
