Cant get Saitek axis generated keystrokes to work (Directional Axis Programming) HELP!

[Tonester]

Hey guys...my saitek throttle quadrant is able to have an axis assigned as keystrokes...I.E.in one direction it will spit

out a number of key presses, and in reverse direction, different keystrokes...In other sims it makes it easy to assign

something to an axis movement that doesnt recognise an axis....i.e...5 instances of R opens radiator gradually, and 5 of C closes it gradually for example

(Not talking about this sim, just an example)....

 

I set it up to control the oil and water rads in the 110 and outside the game its perfect...i tested it by assigning keystrokes and opening a blank

text document and counting the keystrokes that appear when i move the axis...i get 8 each way for water rad and 4 each way for oil...

Assign these keystrokes for open and close in game but it would appear the game doesnt see the keystrokes coming from the saitek software.

If i hit the keystrokes on the keyboard it works fine...but if i move the axis the game doesnt see them even though i know that saitek software

is spitting out the keytrokes...anyone else come up against this and find a way to make it work...I suspect that the game is reading the axis rather

than the software generated keystrokes that come from that axis...and no that particular axis (Joy 3 Z and W in this case) is not assigned to anything

else within the game so thats not the reason...really need help with this...I love this sim but i cant get over what a pain in the arse the key and axis assignment side of it is..

like not having separate key assignments for different aircraft available in game like COD...or trims not on Axis like most other sims...its the one part

of this great sim that REALLY needs some work and thought
