January 22, 201016 yr This is probably an easy one. I've had TrackIR4 for over a year now (can't imagine ever flying without it) and simply use the keyboard F12 key to center my head relative to the VC position. Instead of using the keyboard, I'd like to program a button on either the joystick or throttle. I tried FSUIPC (registered version)--the menu where you assign a button/switch to a keyboard selection, but when I hit F12, it didn't register as anything in FSUIPC so I couldn't set it. Any suggestions?ThanksRich Perry

This is assuming you're using the V4 software. V5 would probably have it in a different place but same idea. - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |

This is assuming you're using the V4 software.

"0,5" is button 6 on joystick 0 the numbering starts by 0 for button 1. "K123" is the FSUIPC keyboard button code for F12, of coarse you have to define another key code of you programmed the TrackIR driver for an another key, and "8" is a flag for "normal" mode.Rgds,Hugo
January 22, 201016 yr HelloHere is where you assign keys to center, pause, precisionJust click on where it says mouse1 in my screenshot then press your joystick button.One tip is to assign your middle mouse click to the pause function , makes clicking on gauges much easier
