I am currently using a Saitek x52 Pro flight stick and can not bind any buttons to Microsoft Flight. I have it that there is no profile loaded since the game is so new that saitek does not have one available yet.In Windows 7 control panel it shows that the flight stick is working, it works in microsoft flight for flying around and throttle but I want to assign new alternate keybinds.In game I have made sure that the joystick is selected as well.

I had an initial problem with my X52 that was solved by unplugging my X52 and plugging it back in again and restarting Flight. Doesn't sound like that is your problem though because your AXIS's are apparently working. I did not have any issue assigning buttons.

Are you selecting a profile for your x52 or just logging in with it cleared and none selected?

Probably won't help much so sorry up front...But FLIGHT did recognize my X65 (which I set from within flight)I'll make a quick search of the beta forum and see if I can come up with anything.Or wait... you say Saitek hasn't a profile... you tried looking in FLIGHT and it does not recognize it? Sounds like it is...
