Having problems with saitek av8r joystick and mapping

[mrbinkels]

Curious if anyone else has had problems with setting this joystick up?

 

 

I would like to be able to use the A/B modes however after getting the saitek software setup, BS does not recognize the commands. I can map the commands in BS but that limits me to OFF mode thus eliminating 26 plus other command options.

 

 

I finally said F**k it and uninstalled the saitek software and have resigned myself to having only 13 commands mapped through BS.

 

 

I've gone to saitek's website with no joy.

 

Thanks,

I don't have that specific stick but I do have some experience with Saitek. What exactly is A/B modes? Sort of a shift function?

Yes it's this one here http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/av8r.htm

I only use Saitek SST for my X52 Pro. You cannot use both the BS controls and the SST at the same time. Only one or the other. You setup the axis of the stick and that's it. Then SST software for each button. Or, you setup the BS Control panel command for each button, without the SST profile software.

 

It baffles me why people don't get this, especially when this has been gone over countless times in this forum and on the Saitek forums. Not to mention, all lthe snapshots that have been taken of the BS control panel with examples and posted in these forums.

 

Maybe someone with that specific stick needs to chime in. But it probably is setup in the sim like the X52 series.

Yea i've tried that as well, still didn't seem to work. No doubt it's something I am failing to do in a particular order or what not.
