Hi - Im knew to having a legit HOTAS and just received my X-56. I am trying to map it the best I can within DCS and there are a few quirks I am trying to work out like using the slide button on the throttle for speed breaks (button 33 - it wont retract the speed breaks when sliding the button back)
My main questions are (1) how do we use the ministicks - they are not being recognized in DCS adjusting controls for standard or axis assignment modalities. Id like to use one of them (thumb on the stick I suppose?) to slew the radar, etc - looks like the hornet and A10 mapping has that as one of the center controls atop the stick - regardless, I am hoping to be able to get the ministicks working. I am going to get a powered 3.0 USB port today to see if that helps, sounds like that can be an issue.
also - Does anyone already have a saved program for the X-56 with a map of what buttons do what. I am getting pretty close but it just feels like I am not putting the best options together and there has to be a better way to get these to jive - if anyone has a saved program that they would share I would be most appreciative - Im assuming theres a folder I can drop a .lua file in if so -
(Thanks for any help, newbie here to the HOTAS so any help appreciated)
