X52 UI Focus....Help !!

[CMDR.FREEZER]

The lower sort of trigger button on my X52 is by default bound to UI Focus mode. which allows me to use...probably the main Hat on my stick left,right up,down to select the different UI pannels within the ship.
This button however, is not being registered or recognized when i push it. as if it is disabled.
Neither does it help mapping it to another function. as the game does not register me useing it.

The button works fine, checked that so its nothing wrong with the button. its the game...has to be,

its fair to mention i run my X52 only on drivers, i do not have the program that follows it.

Does anyone have a solution to my issue, please help me out =)
Cant play the game without being able to select the 4 different ship UI pannels. its bloody impossible.

I can also mention this button and its function worked absolutely perfectly before the 2.1 update.
To me it seems like the update has done something with it.

I lost all custom in-game mapping i had done to the stick after the update so that had to be reconfigured.

If you look at all the settings (primary and secondary) in the control panel you will find one that is bound to your lower trigger, I escaped key to remove it, after I found it, and then bound it to my flight assist in toggle mode, works great. I beleive in mine it was set as the primary in UI focus. Good luck.

I have found the lower trigger button and i know i can change to another button. But i dont want that fuction to be moved to another button. i want it the way it was.....so a fix to it would be much better =)

Anyone ?

BTW mine had quit working as well.

IIRC you have to disable its function as a "shift" button in the stick's Windows USB control panel.

Now this is an answer i've been waiting for.
Allright...sounds easy.. but i not that much of a computer guy to understand that fully.
Could you be more specific ?

From hazy memory:

Press the Windows key, then search for "joystick", which should bring up something like "USB game controller settings"; in there, select the stick (double-clicking should do) to open its control panel (the one with the axis and button test; it will have several tabs too). Search it for anything resembling "shift mode" and disable that setting. For good measure, also disable "clutch mode" to get a use of the rear "i" button on the throttle.

I cant find anything about Shift Mode.. but I do find Clutch Mode which by default is disabled.

Hi,

If you have Saitek software installed, remove all programmed buttons in that software. Or you can open Control panelfrom that software and leave it open (sounds silly but it works).

Have fun.

What do you mean? How to do it? or why does it work?

[CMDR.FREEZER]

Yeah. why does the button all of a sudden work when haveing the controll pannel opened and not when closed. Makes no sense to me :p

If you dont use the '' usually ♥♥♥♥♥♥ software'' for it windows is using a generic driver. and just like a mouse with 16 buttons the generic driver 3buttons will work. Thats what windows generic drivers know.

I have no idea to be honest. If you do not want to run Control Panel every time, remove additional profiles (you need to switch to grid view).
You can find some guides on youtube.
