Simultaneous Button Assignment will give you more button functions

[How To] Simultaneous Button Assignments. A powerful feature!

Asobo have implemented multiple simultaneous button ability. This is immensely powerful and effectively doubles or even triples (and more) the number of functions you can assign to the limited number of buttons on your controller. That means for example, that on say a Saitek Yoke, you can use the left Red button as a “mode” or “shift” button, so that most other buttons can now have 2 (or more) functions assigned to it. One with the button on its own, the other with the “mode/shift” button pre…

No probs.

I dunno, the idea that I can double and sometimes triple my control assignments “for free” gets me excited.

It means I can pretty well never touch my keyboard or mouse and it adds to the immersion.

Take the throttle quadrant on the Saitek Yoke.

It has six switches.

I hoping that I could assign the following .

1
2
3
4
5
6

1+2
1+3
1+4 (can’t press both at once)
1+5
1+6

2+2
2+3
2+4
2+5 (can’t press both at once)
2+6

3+4
3+5
3+6 (can’t press both at once)

4+5
4+6

Then I can double all of that again by using a “shift” button for a second set …

If button ‘a’ on my yoke is my designated “shift button”

a+1
a+2 etc

a+1+2
a+1+3 etc

That’s 36 assignments from just 6 buttons!!

Note: I have added the above to my original post.

How do you assign 2 buttons for a command, but by selecting an input and not by simultaneous touching the 2 buttons at the same time. It doesn’t work.

When you make scanning, assign buttons doesn’t recognise POV.

In “Thurstmaster hotas” on (POV + trigger) for trimming assign. Up and down
And when you move only POV would be cockpit view look around.

And why in assigns there are two boxes???
