X56 Throttle's Slider Switch only responds when pushed forward

[Arkid77]

Hi, I have a Saitek/Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S. And I'm trying the set it up where the 2-position Slider(JOY_BTN33), on the throttle, toggles the afterburners in the F/A-18C. But when I try to set it up, it only binds/detects when the slider is pushed forwards. And when I try it in game, it only toggles when the slider is pushed forward/doesn't toggle when pushed backwards. Unlike Microsoft Flight Simulator, which does respond to both positions.

That's odd about MSFS because as far as I can tell, the "slider" is just a button, so sliding it is the equivalent of holding down a button.  Makes a good parking brake, basically.

I found a new solution. In the Assignment Panel, you have to manually scroll through the Key/Button list and assign both "JOY_BTN33" and "JOY_BTN33_OFF". Now the slider functions/works correctly.

Also if you setting it up for the Afterburner detents like me, and the slider is inverted to the aircraft's detent position, go to Options, Special, "the aircraft you want to set up", Afterburner detent, and change it to Always on or Always off.
