There is simply no way to tell what button they are talking about ;
I have the x52 pro differing from yours with an MFD on the left part of the HOTAS (Throttle).
I suspect you have more buttons/toggles than me, but the shift and 3 modes make up for it, especially when the particular function I have bound to that particular toggle is displayed in the middle line of the mfd. I also suspect that what I have to say, with your having the x55 doesn't help you very much.
At least I agree with my fellow Saitek "victims", yes the Satek-configured profiles are the worst. For example, I found a Saitek profile for the Ka-50 had navigation-related switches bound to first trigger. WHHHAAAT????
Using the Madcatz SST programming software I usually do the following kinds of things with mfd; bind the left wheel brake to T1 and then go to the programming software, type in that function (i.e., L Wheel Brake") so that it displays what the toggle does in the middle line of the mfd.
Actually I chose the MFD model assuming that the middle line reflected what I entered in the DCS software's "adjust Controls" subroutine of Esc.
Also you will note that if they are present, you may find some subroutines bound to non-existent buttons, hats, and toggles. Some go up to Button 30 and where is that among the mere 8 that I can access on the x52 HOTAS????
That is when I dug for about a month and discovered the SST software and manual under the MADCATZ site and started a system roughly described here.
There are actually 7 buttons on the x52 pro, and you have many more in place of the MFD. . Using the SST programming method requires devoting a lot of time just once, and not needing to remember what is bound to what.
Also check YouTube for an answer. I have found so many valuable casts that surpass the DCS training programs.
In conclusion, I don't think Saitek has a clue about the DCS format. However I find what I do with the the mfd is indispensable when it comes to recalling what the controllers do. Do your own....it isn't that bad!
