So I did a search and it seems this issue was never resolved? First, amazing update, optimization has me back in and flying. That being said, during my haitus, got an X-52, and the default braking is Button 6. Noticed it wasn’t working correctly. Tried to assign it so a slider I use for IL2, no go. searched the forums, and found this post from way back. X52 button 6 - Self-Service / Peripherals - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
Disregarding most of the chatter reference the Logitech software, which we all know is useless G-Hub garbage, I did the initial recommendation and it worked:
“There is a known issue with the X52 driver that prevents the pinkie button (6) from being recognized by windows. I’ve experienced the same issue with Elite Dangerous and FS2020. There is a work around. Before you launch FS2020, hit the windows key and start typing “USB Game Controllers.” You should see the control panel applet in the start menu, launch it. Next, click on Properties. Leave both windows open and launch FS2020 as you would normally. Button 6 should work correctly.”
Worked it seems.
So my question is, does anyone have a better fix? Awesome workaround, but who really wants to do this all the time? It’s a year down the road and this is still and issue? I appreciate the basic profile by the dev in here, but c’mon…braking is pretty much a standard required thing man.
