Okay I've swapped them around, please try it again.
Now it's perfect
Thanks a lot for your help!
Good to hear. And if anyone out there has a working G940 throttle and wants to provide me with the mapping information for the controls I can add it as well.
Tried the mapping tool for my x56 and received a python error. Is the x56 not yet supported? Python debug:
Thank you,

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

All that the file you sent contains is the string 'SaitekX56'. You need to select the binds file as per the instructions at the top of the webpage.
Hi, here are my binds: http://www.mcdee.net/elite/binds/qokxwn
Your tool's output is technically correct, but it would be much easier to understand if you would make it recognise diagonal hat switch presses. Right now it turns one of the components of a diagonal press into a modifier. I am also using other modifiers, so the result is a bit of a mess! If the diagonals problem would be sorted out, I think it would just leave some modifiers on multiple buttons, but that's not so confusing.
So in my binds, there are nine modifiers; five of them (5,6,7,8 & 9) are hat switch diagonal mess. Yellow no.4 is a modifier for throttle buttons. Green 2 and blue 3 are modifiers for stick buttons/hat, and both together are red 1.
It would be super cool if you could lay out the hat switch binds in an octagon according to their position around the hat switch.
Oh also, could there a be an option to skip the keyboard bindings? I don't really use the keyboard. I guess I could go and unbind all the keys, but it might be nice to just skip displaying that stuff.

I have a request for the layout. First, when printing, the colors don't show up that well for me being red/green color blind. It's fine on display, but I have yet to get a printer to print something the way it is on screen. What would help a lot is if instead of using a single box for input and the 3 entries in a row, use 3 stacked boxes with the top for ship, the second for buggy and the 3rd for UI. If a type is not bound, then that sub box is empty. Makes it a lot easier to check at a glance, you would know if you are in the buggy, you want the middle boxes and if you are in the ship, you want the top boxes.
The problem here is that Elite doesn't see the hat as an 8-way, but sees one of the directions as a modifier and the other as the action (which is why the page shows it in that way). I'm not sure I have an easy answer to this, but will have a think to see if I can do something.
I'll add the ability to turn off the keyboard image to my todo list.
Unfortunately there just isn't space to separate out the boxes in to multiple items, and it would result in a lot of empty space and small text in many configurations.
Have you tried using the advanced options to reduce the clutter of items you don't need, and to use numbers rather than colours for the commands with modifiers?
Note sure what up mean numbers instead of colors for modifiers. I don't have an modifiers, I have it set to colors for control type and don't see any option for using numbers. I don't have a fancy setup, just a T.16000 and an Edtracker which I'm using in joystick mode because it seems to worm much better then running it through open track.
I have a feeling the answer will be a no no, but will try anyway. Been using the reference sheet generator quite a bit on two PC's. Fantastic app. I installed ED on an Xbox One just after Christmas but didn't do much with it. Anyway I decided to give it another try and was pleasantly surprised to find that the controller can be configured now similar to the PC version. I know naff all about Xbox's but, would it be possible to run an Xbox binds file on the reference sheet generator. I am presuming the binds file will be the same format as the PC version. No idea how to get at it or even if it's possible.
Unfortunately I have no idea where the binds file is stored on the Xbox or how to access it. Perhaps someone else has managed to do this and will be able to provide information on how to do this.
Hi jgm,
Buttons on the back on the X56 Rhino are reversed
Greetz,
FLYNN317
Which buttons in particular? Could you provide an example image from the generator showing exactly which buttons are the wrong way round? Thanks.
