November 10, 20187 yr I've not found how to set up the hat switch on my Saitek Pro Flight yoke to pan like it did prior to installing Chase plane. In P3D v4, I've unselected the hat switch for panning. In CP Control Assignments next to pan left and pan right under axis, when I click on 'blank' in the window that comes up, it doesn't recognise when I move the hat switch on the yoke - it's not making the assignment. It will recognise one of the Saitek throttle quadrant levers and it recognises if I turn the yoke (roll) but it can't recognise the hat switch. The hat switch was working fine yesterday before I installed CP. If I close CP or not load it when I start P3D, and assign the hat switch as previous then it still no longer works to pan the view. Perhaps by chance the hat switch button has failed at the same time as I installed CP??? I've tried to find an answer but may have missed it in the documentation. Help would be appreciated because now I don't think I can use the sim. Thanks John
November 11, 20187 yr Author I think I found what I needed to do.... It appears that CP didn't recognise my Saitek Pro Yoke until I had moved the control column - i.e. left/right/nose down/nose up. After having done that I could assign the pan to the hat switch. Next issue I'm trying to resolve is why the zoom level resets to 56% every now and then? I normally operate on 70% and (I think) have set that up with the various presets ??? John

John Recheck the axis assignment for pan for your control column.
