Thanks. I actually have 3 modifiers set, but I may lower it to 2. I have my hat switch to look around, because I plan on using the F-15 the most when I get it, and expect to do quite a bit of air combat. I have it set to trim as well with the modifier, and I may use another modifier to slew the Shkval. The HOTAS I have has 12 buttons, not including the hat switch, and with 3 modifiers I can get 27 different functions, not including ones on the hat switch, programmed on the HOTAS.
I'll program the things you mentioned, however I'm very new to this game, and don't know what many of those things are. :P
