Andrew if you uninstall the new drivers you will need to check your registry entries,sometimes it doesn't unistall all the software.Check this forum post for what you need to look for.

OK, I figured out how to program that damn ministick as a 4 way hat.

Set each axis (both x and y) to banded with 3 areas for each axis.

Banded areas (area 1=0-45%....area 2=45-55%....area 3=55-100%) leave the middle band unassigned and assign what ever you want to the outer banded areas and voila....a 4 way hat switch.

(they should have just left this the same as the x45....with the ability to choose 4 or 8 way hat as an option)

I liked your idea on the nav lights and decided to use the mode switch on my setup.

Chris,

Are you using the macro feature or multiple key presses?

I had trouble with the macro feature getting all 3 commands to wotk for the canopy (toggle gunsight, open canopy, raise seat and the reverse to close lower seat, close canopy then toggle gunsight back

[BBloke]

It's a macro and it doesn't do too bad.

[Friar]

fully allowing the canopy to slide back may be what was causing mine not to work, the gap between key preses was too short.

I shall have to have a look at it again after taking it out.

This is a great idea Friar (hope its not copyright)
