changing POV hat switch functionality with PFC Yoke

Featured Replies

I need some advice. I am thinking of buying a PFC yoke to replace my Saitek yoke.Problem being the PFC yokes don't have a hat switch and I still want to pan around when using the VC cockpit. Has anyone got any suggestions on how somehow I can still have the functionality of a hat switch when the yoke itself doesn't have an actual POV hat switch?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.Andrew

Best I could suggest would be to pick up a cheap joystick with a hat switch on it, and use the hat switch on that for panning and the buttons for switching views. Then just disable the joystick's axis's in Flight Simulator so they don't interfere with your yoke, and you would be good to go. Unfortunately, that's the best suggestion I have, perhaps other folks may have better ideas.Good luck.-George

Happy Flying!
