I just took delivery of the CH Eclispe Yoke and CH Rudder Pedals. Yoke works well but I am having some difficulty programming hats and buttons. I want the left hat controller to work for electric trim and the right hat to work for views. I'm having trouble getting the left hat to work as electric pitch trim. I've tried setting up the Yoke buttons from within FSX controller menu but seem to be missing something. I am using MS Vista 32.Thanks in advance.

Hi JMEppright,The Eclipse uses the left hat as POV by default. If you've got the Control Manager installed, you can swap them. Otherwise you need to break the thing down somehow into individual buttons and offhand I'm not sure that can be done, whether FS or FSUIPC might be able to do it. There used to be a flag you can set "pan_in_cockpit_mode" or something like that which would disable the "POV" designation and turn it back into buttons like the earlier versions of FS.It was really meant to use the two trim wheels on the yoke hub for trim. Each of them activates three buttons. The elevator wheel uses 15, 16, and 17, the aileron wheel uses 18, 19, and 20. As you spin them they generate pulses continuously on 15 and 16 for the elevator, 18 and 19 for the ailerons. They spin forever and were meant to tie to the electric trim buttons. The third buttons, 17 and 20 are activated when you push in on the wheel, you can use them to center the trim or whatever strikes your fancy. The wheels send one button for each direction and as you spin them you get one pulse per click. One tip, the center click is usually easier to us if you rock it sideways rather than pressing in on it, takes much less force.The hat was swapped to the left, people seemed to want it there more so they could hold the POV and still use the throttle levers, etc. The CM lets you put it back on the right or make buttons out of it, but it may be more than you want to deal with.Anyway, maybe some help. Good luck!Best regards,- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

Thanks, Bob. I think once I get into the Control Manager and learn it better this will work. I'm a bit lazy and thought if this wasn't possible I would just cut to the chase.Mike
