Configuring Saitek X-56 HOTAS

Post by KillerB »

Hello I have a Core I5 laptop running Windows 10 Pro; I bought a Saitek X-56 Hands on Stick and Throttle which has lots of extra mini sticks, hat switches and a crapload of switches. I also have a CH Pro Pedals. How do I get all this stuff to work together with Vega Strike?

Hi Killer there is a section on the wiki on joystick configuration the critical step is finding mapping order of all those buttons so that you can edit the joystick section vegastrike.config if you have issues just post I'm still holding on :lol:

There are 4 Saitek joysticks in examples, the first with throttle and pedals. I'd start with trying those one by one and then tweaking the closest fit.
