PMDG menu in FS: Allow mapping to joystick buttons

[Guest svedman]

Hi,Currently, you can only map plane commands to keyboard shortcuts. Is PMDG planning on expanding this menu to allow joystick inputs?I know I can use FSUIPC to map keyboard shortcuts to the joystick buttons, but I'm running out of free keyboard combinations... Mapping directly to the joystick would be very nice.Thanks,

I'll second this request, FSUIPC is alright, but it means changing the mapping for several other addons which is a pain.-Lee Barberhttp://home.nc.rr.com/uniuniunium/dvasig.jpg

Hi, do somebody know how to map the TO/GA on the joystick, and how about A/T disengage? (not the "arm" switch on glareshild, but the hidden key we press for TO/GA which located on the left side on the "arm" switch)thanksben

You will need the registered version of FSUIPC to do this. If you already own it, then assign key combinations to the two functions on the PMDG menu, then use the 'buttons' tab on the FSUIPC menu to assign a joystick button to those key combinations.

If you own a Saitek joystick and it came with Saitek Smart Technology (SST) software, you can use that to assign key combinations (TOGA default: Ctrl+Shift+G) to a joystick button.Geoff
