Export options (txt/csv files)

I have been away from my simulator for A Long Time, (a long time = at least a year), and either I’ve forgotten my controller assignments or they’ve been subtly rearranged in my absence.

What I would like to be able to do is to go to my controls settings and be able to print out the axis/button assignments for each saved profile on a per-controller basis.

I DID find the xml files that contain the raw data for particular controllers and their particular profiles and, though some is familiar, a lot is obscure and known only to the developers, etc.

What I would like to see is what is currently assigned to a particular axis or button, if assigned.

For example: (for my Saitek X52 HOTAS - “Generic” profile)

  • Button 1 - brakes (the trigger pulled in to the first stop)
  • Button 1 + 15 - Max Brakes (the trigger pulled in all the way)
  • Button 3 - Landing Lights
  • Button 6 - Parking brake
    . . . and so forth. . . .

Essentially decoding a particular saved profile for a particular controller so that it’s in human-readable form.

Does this exist?  Can it be done?

Thanks!
