X55 Rhino Button Layout with Reference Card

I've tried the in-game profile and a custom one. Nothing works - can't shuffle left or right within the control panels.
I use trackir, when I look at either of the panels I then push Hat 4 on the throttle which moves across the top menu then I push Hat 2 on the stick which moves up or down each menu this is using the in built X55 profile, so you are saying this does not work, does the Saitek software see the buttons when you press them?

Do you have any other USB controllers plugged in as well ?
OK, so I've been ing around with the Saitek Software to get a somewhat decent profile for Elite.
Not there yet, as not everything is mapped, but basic functions are there.
With the following two files (one is the Elite keybindings and the other the Saitek Profile), one should be able to use them.
What I plan to do: Have different Modes (normal, landing, fight) with the logical bindings for each mode (e.g. no boost-binding on landing mode)
For those wanting to try these: look in the Saitek software what is bound to what, I have bound various functions to my liking, not sure if others agree
For example, hyperjump is the keypress of the big top rotary on the throttle, just to give me that 'Engage' feeling Also I have disabled autodeploy of weapons, but that is more of a RPG element (deploying weapons should be a conscious descision, not an accident) so that is bound to SW1.

Don't forget to activate the Saitek part in their software.

Greetings,
Here are two blank worksheets in pdf format for the Saitek X-55 joystick and throttle. Should make programming in the commands a little easier per writing them down. Note ED Beta Standard already has a default X-55 setup in the controller options. The blanks will make it easier should you want to make changes...or use them for any other game. Thanks to whoever created the original graphics. I'll certainly give them credit if I can ever find out who it was.

Meanwhile how to mount the controllers? Found this picture on the net. So cool!
Your worksheets are Awesome! Thank you so much.
Hey, how can I use your layout in my x-55?? Do I need a file? Thx

wow
great work. I hope you dont mind but i shared your link on another ED thread/forum.
If you like that then you might be interested in the generator in my signature. Basically it takes your existing Custom.binds file and generates the filled in reference sheets for you from that information, avoiding the need for you to muck about with doing it manually. Very handy if you chop and change your configuration frequently, as I do.
After playing around and changing it often I am quite happy with my layout now, so I thought I might as well post it here, too.

No, it isn't. The default binds are just a few buttons, and totally different ones, too
If you want to visualize your own bindings, go to jgm's Reference Sheet Tool at
Custom.binds
How can I save your custom bind, there is no d/l link to save it as a custom.bind.

I have that mapped to the pinky spin, it feels quite natural to use.

I have mine set to the first button on the back of the throttle. I just click it and move my head around with the inverted hat on the stick. I click it again to re-center.
