Controller Options, Modifiers and switches

[neroroxxx]

Hi guys, i have a question on that, i understand what the modifiers do (i set up my x52pro with 2 modifiers the pinky and clutch) but im not fully sure what the switches is exactly,

 

I set up the FIRE and PICKLE on the stick as SWITCHES just because I noticed that you can label them, then i noticed that i couldn't assign those anymore, so i deleted them from SWITCHES, then i was able to assign the fire and pickle again but in-game they didn't work so i had to reinstall the world to make it work again.

 

so are these switches for MODES? if so are they supposed to be latching switches? or is it for switches that would send a command as if the key was always pressed?

 

The reason im asking is because i want to build a panel with standard switches and buttons for all the planes i fly (A-10A, A-10C,F-15C and P-51D) and i have a bunch of toggle switches, pots and so on that i have from building guitar pedals, im looking for the right joystick controller but im wondering if that would be the way to set up switches with a joystick controller.

 

Thanks

The Fire & Pickle switches are momentary push buttons, Fire button activates the Gun, Pickle button releases other stores, bombs, missiles, rockets, etc. These are best to be located on the joystick.

 

For building a switch panel go here for some good info.
