Working with profile information
You can use the center section of the MFD to view the
names assigned to buttons on your flight stick and
throttle. It also shows the names of the profile and
mode currently selected.
Viewing button names
You can view the names assigned to buttons in the
current mode. You may use the SST programming software to create a number of profiles. Each profile may include up
to six different modes, assigning different functions to individual buttons for use in different games.
If you've created profiles, you can view the names you've given to buttons in the selected mode in the current profile. If
not, the standard name assigned to each button is displayed. The standard name reflects the function assigned to each
button when your Saitek X52 FCS is supplied.
