Thanks for the reply, Harlequin.
LO is LibreOffice and AOO is Apache OpenOffice.
I did the same thing as far as ensuring my throttle POV hat was being recognized as DX buttons and CHCM was being run in Mapped mode prior to starting BMS, but the documentation that shipped with 4.33 said I should use the Key File spreadsheet rather than mapping them directly from the BMS UI (I wonder if this has to do with DX Shifting functions?).
I temporarily fixed my issues by telling the Key File Generator spreadsheet that my FS was Device 2 and my PT was Device 3, which ended up shifting all the binds appropriately for use in the sim.
Most of my time spent after that was trying to figure out the in-game Idle Detent for the ramp start. I didn’t know you had to click the paddle switch with the mouse when pulling the throttle back to Idle. Is there some reason pressing the button on the joystick doesn’t work?
