Saitek Control Panel

[SonofEil]

Hello,

I'll try to make this as short and concise as possible:

BACKGROUND:

I used to use a X52 pro. I never programmed it using the Saitek software, basically because it was confusing beyond help for me. I assigned all buttons in-game for DCS:BS &WH. The catch was that I had to open the Saitek Control Panel and keep it open while I played, otherwise some of the buttons wouldn't respond at all. It wasn't a big deal, I'd open TIR, then Saitek CP and I'd be off taking care of some bad guys.

Now I have a TM Warthog, and it is fantastic (mostly. Slightly over-hyped). Finally a real plug-and-play!! I haven't even downloaded the TARGET software, and I don't plan to.

But I'm still using Saitek rudder pedals, because they rock.

THE "PROBLEM":

I still have to keep the Saitek CP open while I play, otherwise my toe brakes aren't recognized in-game. I can't assign them, can't use them. Without CP open, it's like the rudder toe brakes don't exist. I'd like to finally stop having to do this and just have the damn things "work".

I've done some forum searching here and at Saitek, but I haven't found a solution. Any ideas?

Thanks!
