Newcomer / Intro Those using the Saitek X52 HOTAS

Are you able to bind any function to the pinky trigger on the stick?

 

[DaggerSnake]

Yes. I use the pinky trigger to toggle reverse throttle when depressed.

 

[aRJay]

I have the Pro variant and have the pinkie trigger bound as the leave UI control as well as acting as a ‘shift’ in several other bindings.
The one I haven’t bound is the second stage on the main trigger as I am doubtful of my ability to differentiate between them when in combat.

X52 Pinkie Button

Is the X52 Pinkie button supposed to work as a binding in ED? I'm sure when I first connected it up, the default was that the pinkie button would trigger headlook mode. However now it doesn't do anything, and I can't bind it to anything within the control settings. If I go into the X52...

Beat me to it, Simon. OP, the thread he linked to has the answers. It's a bit of hassle (a very minor bit), but you only have to do it once.

 

[metatheurgist]

Yes, but it works great as a shift key. Wouldn't change it.

 

[Craith]

it's my secondary fire button (X-52 Pro).

 

[Caty_Feila]

I am unable to bind anything to it.
I will read the thread that Chris Simon posted and try it when I log into ED next.
Thank you for the answers, commanders.
