Cannot program X-52 pinkie switch....

[gn728]

Hey all - recently went from XP to Win 8. Installed the newer version of the SST programming software. Now, even though I unchecked the "latched" box I can't seem to assign any keys to the pinkie switch in the X-52 Pro. Like to use that with F12 to center Trak IR

I've got a 52 also. Pinkie doesn't work on BOS for me too!

As far as I know the Pinkie is latched or unlatched.  You cannot assign a button to it.  (At least in my software).  Maybe your thinking of the clutch button?

Nah - pinkie switch - I had it programmed to F12 in the XP setup I just upgraded to Win 8. Older SST software. IL2/46, ROF, OFF, didn't have BOS turned on yet 'cause I was 32bit. My understanding with newer software was if you uncheck the "latched" box you can program - but so far no go - so both clutch button and pinkie are now useless.

I have mapped the clutch, in the software as a keystroke.  The pinkie never.  I don't even know why you would want to map the pinkie as one button.  The whole purpose is to get 30 plus more buttons by using it as designed.   

 

1 button. . . 30 buttons. . .  I choose the 30 please.

I liked it as a centering button for Trak IR - don't care about 30 buttons...(personal choice)
