Also see if HC has new update to their software, as that might make it work better, and not have to have another “piece of something else” to make this stuff work. I do not use any add-on software products to use my controls and program in how I want buttons to work. VIrpil does store configuration for devices on the unit itself, not on MSFS, so MSFS sees it, but has no profile for it in DB. I then set them the way I want them to work. FWIW-I do try to make MSFS-XP-FSX all use the same buttons/switches as far as possible so do not have to think on which button works what.
