Extract from saitek Website :###############The Yoke has 5 axes, 2 on the control yoke itself and 3 lever axes. The Yoke has a POV switch and 8 programmable buttons. There is also a Mode Wheel on the back of the right handle that enables you to change the mode of your pre-programmed button profile. To the uninitiated, the modes apply to the Programming Software (SST) that comes with the controller. The software allows you to assign the keyboard commands from your simulator to the buttons on the Yoke. You can save these assignments as a profile, which can be tweaked as your flight experience increases. One Mode equals one configured set of buttons. So, with the SST, you can have a minimum of 3 different button configurations set to your controller at one time. You can even set more modes in the programming software itself. Instructions on this, and how to use the other features of the programming software, can be found here. The FSX profile for the Yoke can be downloaded from here.###############Each mode can accept a set of functions assignementThe Wheel mode permit 3 mode positionWith LINDA, moving the Mode Wheel dont permit me to assign different function to each of the 3 mode.

These 3 modes are implemented by SST software, not the hardware of the Yoke. LINDA cannot work with SST, it works directly with Yoke hardware. So this modes switch do nothing when using it with LINDA.However, LINDA has it's own modes logic. TWO separate assignments are allowed per button (see the "Shifted" checkbox and SHIFT LOCAL, SHIFT GLOBAL assignments).

The wheel shows up in FSUIPC as three seperate bits. I use it via compund controls and works fine. Linda should see them as well. I do not use the SST software just FSUIPC.
