Yes.

Ok well i just got a Belkin USB 2.0 4 port powered hub, and at first i was pretty peed off, as the ghosting was happening, but it happened just twice, stopped, happened once more. After a few mins was getting no ghosting and all i get now is the occasional ghosting of button 15 which is mapped to UHF, and if this is all i’ll get then its no problem but will need to keep monitoring it for a bit. My guess is the hub needs a few mins to power up properly so at the moment it seems ok, a few questions.
1. I hadnt mapped button 15 to anything, coz i dont know where it is, i cannot find it on neither my stick or throttle, do you know where it is?
2. How can i unbind a function for one of my buttons on my stick/throttle? is it possible? so for example right now i have button 64 (M1 selector switch button on throttle) mapped to ICP-Nav, can i change this to unassigned?
3. My slider switch on my throttle isnt recognised in the setup, is yours recognised? -

3. My slider switch on my throttle isnt recognised in the setup, is yours recognised?Question 1: Not sure what you mean by Button 15. All the buttons are Alpha or Alpha Numeric.
Question 2: I have not found a way yet. At the moment, I bind the keys to a non-functioning command on my keyfile through the Setup Tab or just assign it to another function you will need.
Question 3. My slider is assigned to my third party software called “Attack Command”. It is an on/off switch. Forward to give verbal commands and Back to turn off the Attack Command. There are others out there who use the slider for their Airbrakes. -
Q1….If you use Windows game controller it gives you the number of each button
Q2…As Drac says
Q3… Mines the same. I’m told you can assign it via site’s software but I’d rather assign mine in game so it’s dead atm…Gary
Just checked and button 15 is tgl 2… (back) on mine…

Understand now on Button 15. I have been to that Windows game controller before trying to troubleshoot the ghosting problem I initially had before I got the powered USB hub.

Thats it Gary- i’ve found it, well at least the pc has found it. In windows settings for my stick it shows button 15 as permanently highlighted, like its being pressed without being released. I’m guessing this is some kind of fault with the software as i am pressing all buttons i can see (including hats) on the stick and they all highlight and work. I have 14 buttons on the stick (not including POV hat) but for some reason in settings it has buttons 15,16 and 17, with 15 being pressed all the time, very strange. Whats more weird still is that button 15 in BMS setup is assigned to UHF, which i already have binded to another button on my throttle.
What do you guys think and how many buttons do your windows settings pick up?
-
And some more weirdness, in BMS it recognises the buttons on my throttle from like 34 upwards, but in windows settings they’re 1-32.

I am not sure if viewing the highlights on the Windows setting really is a concern. I initially thought something was wrong until I got a hold of the Saitek Representative. What specifically is the issue you are trying to resolve at this point…still trying to unassign a button?

Well since i connected my throttle to the hub, all i get now is this mysterious button 15 constantly activated (being pressed down) and as i said in game in setup it has it mapped to UHF and i find when im flying that the UHF icon in my DED is constantly highlighted, due to button 15 being apparently constantly pressed down. I guess this isnt a problem for single player but a major one for MP.

Understand. I would recommend binding that button to a non-functioning command or try changing the command for that button to something else to see what happens. I have my UHF/VHF programmed to K1.
-
I just thought of something. If you have your comms set to your toggle switch…then it would remain on. Toggle switches are like an on position until you switch it in the other direction and then that position (what ever is assign to that position) is now on. Best to use for Comms is any switch that has a release such as the K1 button.
-
Thats what i have mapped for UHF is K1 (up for UHF, down for VHF) this button 15 doesnt exist on neither my throttle or stick, yet apparently it does according to my pc and the setup in falcon, and the setup in falcon automatically right from the start had UHF binded to this ghostly button 15. But wait think i might know the solution….maybe its the stick thats ghosting which is still plugged into my tower. I’ll try plugging that to my hub too…i may be about to look very stupid, if not already :S
Nope tried it, stick is now plugged into the hub rather than back of tower same as throttle but this mysterious button 15 is still there, still being pressed.
-
The one button that seems constantly pressed on my set up is button 34…which is mode 1 selection…maybe that’s what your 15 is mapped to??
-
Well i was getting that mode button being pressed in setup but not now as i have the mode switch on M2 which isnt recognised. I actually have M1 assigned to ICP-nav….like i’ve been saying button 15 is nowhere on my throttle or stick, it doesnt exist. I’ve no idea where this button 15 is if it is somewhere on my throttle/stick, i checked the bottom (underneath) them both to see if theres a button (lol) but no.
-
I found mine was tgl2 by simple trial and error.
If you can identify buttons 14 and 16 etc then 15 should be quiet obvious??
-
Yea on my throttle button 15 (in windows settings) is TGL 2 down for me also, but what about your stick? how many buttons shows on windows settings for you for the stick?
