Creating a simple keybind in Simapp Pro?

[104th_Crunch]

Just got a Orion 2 Base with the F-16 Stick. Using Simapp Pro, how would I simply assign the trigger button to send a keyboard press of 'Spacebar' for example?

I want to setup the stick to send keyboard commands. I want to be able to do this in any sim. Not just DCS. I see you can setup DCS plane specific profiles, but again, it's not what I am looking for. Is it possible? Thanks!

To my knowledge, SimApp Pro can not issue keyboard commands based on joystick input. For cross-game support it is best to just bind the joystick without SimApp Pro using the native game binding settings you.

Thanks for your reply Prestonflying. It seems you are correct. I will map buttons in game instead. I did find RS Mapper which will map joystick commands to keyboard commands, but I did not want to run additional software. I will use RS mapper if I come across a sim/game that doesn't support all the buttons or the 4x32 mode.

I always preferred to map using the HOTAS software and keyboard commands, so that even if you  lose the settings in game, or need to reinstall, the HOTAS software would be ready to go. Saves having to remap everything again in game. I guess I just need to back up. I know DCS saves in the Saved Games folder. 

I am coming from 20 years of CH Products. While I find the Winwing stick hardware is an improvement, SimApp Pro doesn't begin to touch how great CH Control Manager software is.
