latching a button using Smart Technology

[fitness88]

Using the Saitek X52 Smart Technology software when you latch a button, as example 'D' button, the 'D' buttons in all the other modes get latched as well. Is there a way to latch only a button for one mode? If not through Smart Technology software perhaps editing a .lua file. C:\Users\fitness88\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\F-15C\joystick

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

 

From what I remember, if you set a modifier in SST software, it can only be used as a modifier regardless of what mode. I don't use saitek anymore so I can't go play around to verify..

 

Imo it's easier to set a modifier from within DCS, and the pinky trigger was/is my favorite.

 

Then again I did use the SST software to make the mousenub control slew in DCS, and turn my rotaries into buttons.

Thanks for the response Headwarp. Not sure we're talking about the same thing.

I latched the 'D' button because I wanted the button to stay pressed after I released my figure from it. I just don't want the rest of the 'D' buttons in the other modes to be latched. Once you latch a button, all other modes of that button automatically become latched and stay latched.

I apparently did misunderstand you then. My apologies. Sounds as if it functions similar to adding a button for a shift state which is what I was describing.
