Hi

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this topic.
I have been using Saitek x56 since MSFS 2020 commenced and buttons (bindings) being used (my selections) with no problem until an update to the simulator yesterday.

That update created havoc with my sim especially with with the bindings associated
with Saitek x56. After many (and I mean many)hours spent, including Google, Avsim and FlightSimulator research I have managed to get all buttons, axis working correctly
except the allocation of Button 4 on the flight stick.

Button 4 has always been titled "Cockpit and Outside Views (L,R,U,D) and gave me the ability to easily move around the cockpit and outside instead of using mouse click.

I have tried everything regarding camera’s but, having somehow getting it to function
yesterday on restart of MSFS today no such luck.

Have I missed the obvious?

Any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've had nothing but trouble since SU10 (and now SU11) with my X-56 (stick and throttle). I suspect something has gone shonky with MSFS device recognition. For instance - none of my axes calibration screens show the animated deflection bar correctly: the "button" icon just flashes. It's a total mess.

As regards, button 4 specifically, I have mine mapped to drone views in MSFS. Do you have anything mapped to it in the Logitech/Saitek profile (mine is blank)?

Hi Adamski

Apologies for my delayed response. I have finally given up after 2 days trying everything from restoring 2 images (i am certain Button 4 was working as shown above),

deleting Community folder,deleted Saitek profiles and then restored. Always the problem remains.

The 2 irestord mages (25 and 29th Nov) produced a strange result. 29th image required a mandory update for MSFS but  25th did not. Don't understand why but MSFS at times is a

strange animal. There are definitely no conflicts with Button 4  on the Flight stick.

I have also done an  insitu re-installation of Win 11 ( current updates ok). Problem remains. FBW has had several updates over the last 2-2.5 days ( including  SimBride for 320 and FSTL injector) which

have updated the same 2 times. Strange but with Community folder emtpy problem remains so FBW Fenix and PMDG 737 can be eliminatedas a cause.

I have decided to use Mouse  wheel click as an alternative to Button 4. Does the job but I preferred  using Button 4 which had never posed a problem.

Sorry to hear of all your troubles ... still.

I've checked my assignments for Button 4 - and have:

Cockpit Look Right: JOYSTICK R-AXIS X+
Cockpit Look Left:  JOYSTICK R-AXIS X-
Cockpit Look Up:    JOYSTICK R-AXIS Y+
Cockpit Look Down:  JOYSTICK R-AXIS Y-

All of the above are mapped to the 2nd slot as I have identical assignments for my POV hat (which is what I normally use) - Buttons 11-14. I added the Button 4 assignments as a test.

Maybe try adding (duplicating) the assignments to the 2nd slot?
