Can anyone help with a X-52 question

[GAJ52]

I am trying to map the KA-50 'Collective Brake' to the small button on my X52 Throttle, the one just below the green mini-stick. When I press it within the X52 Control Panel it illuminates the number 31.

 

When I try to map any control to this button (not just the Blackshark) its not recognised within the DCS Controller Options. Is there a way round this as this is the only non used button available to map to the Collective Brake.

 

Thanks

isnt the one next to the ministick mapped to a mouse button?

The small button is the clutch button. You must right click on game controller, and go to the properties, from there disable clutch mode and hey presto the button works.

Something to watch for, at least mine did it, is that sometimes the driver decided to reset itself, the clutch button stops working and you have to do as Dav IRL says, again, to fix it.

I have my game controller icon setup so I always check before I launch Dcs that my clutch is disabled.

Isn't the clutch button the one with the 'I' on it ?

 

I'm talking about the small silver one below the mini-stick, as someone mentioned it may be another mouse click button - anyone know if it can be reprogrammed as an ordinary select button.

You have to do that in the Saitek software, otherwise DCS won't recognise it.

Yes it can be GAJ52. I've done it. I've mapped so that I can enter stuff in my CDU while having that tiny button depressed.

 

I can't recall doing anything special to map that button.
