X-55 Hotas key mapping Solution!

Apache600 · May 8, 2017

Hello everyone!

Are you like me? To many modules (for me that would be more than 2) and can't seem to remember all the HOTAS bindings when switching from one platform to the other?

Do you also LOATHE any type of software that comes with a joystick or peripheral?

Well then here's a solution. Old fashion as it may be, it works wonderfully!

I bought this little 9x5 3-ring binder, and then a 20 pack of plastic insert sleeves. Then found a pre-made diagram online of the X-55, edited it to size, and then printed a bunch of them. After that, I wrote in all of my own bindings for each button/switch on the HOTAS and voila. Now it's not a brain racking experience every flight trying to remember what was what..

A couple things you may notice on my diagrams. I have "I.R." on the Joystick which stands for Track I.R. re-centering and pausing. And then T.S. P.T.T which is Team Speak Push-to-talk.

Anyway, here's a list of all my work. Feel free to use it and even come up with your own. Just thought I'd share, since it has proven very helpful.
