February 14, 20224 yr I've upgraded my old X52 Pro to a new(er) X56 and am dismayed to find the pinkie switch doesn't function as a modifier (as it did in the X52). Worse still - the throttle slider (SLD) is simply a two-way switch. I think Saitek/Logitech must have lost the plot a fair while back. Anyway - for MSFS at least, I found that I could mimic a modifier (up to a point) by programming the pinkie to produce SHIFT, ALT, CTL (or a combination) - then adding those extended codes to MSFS (keyboard section). The kludge only works for switches, buttons and hats (that are programmed as buttons) but not for dedicated POV functions/buttons (as seen in MSFS throttle/stick sections). Basically, all the assignments are changed in the *Keyboard* controls section and X56 axes set to work as buttons. I hope this help anyone out there with similar frustrations!
