Hi, I have just purchased a Saitek x45 flight controller and am having trouble getting it to work in Black Shark. I have searched the threads and there is heaps on the x52, is this going to be similar? I just want to know how/if I can get the profile I created with the Saitek software to work in Black Shark. I have gone into Black Shark and manually imput just a couple of buttons but they still don't even work. Is there something I need to do to get it to work. I had no trouble with my old Logitech prior to this. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies, I don't think I am ready just yet for the TrackIR, thanks anyway. I have used LALT-C but I lose the crosshair that allows me to interact with the buttons, I do get free movement around the cockpit though. Is there some way to keep this so I can use the buttons as opposed to the keyboard shortcuts???

Hi, I'm not affraid to admit that I might have bitten off more than I can chew with this sim but I am not going to give up. First question, and I am sure there will be many more to come, is how do I get the absolute camera view so I can move around the whole cockpit and use all of the buttons with my mouse???? It is default to the hat on my joystick but it is just not fluid enough to be useful. I have tried everything but can't seem to work it out. I am sure it is something very simple but with the amount I have crammed into my head over the last week with this sim it is all becoming a bit hazy. Second question, do you have to spot all enemy ground and air forces by sight??? I know the Black Shark does not have "Radar" as such but is there some way to easliy pick up the enemy before you end up right on top of them??? Thanks. Any assistance will be most appreciated. These are the only two things at the moment that are frustrating me a little and am hoping once I work them out things will improve dramatically. Cheers.
