Jim Hall Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 On the right yoke handle of the Redbird Yoke is a hatswitch. I want to configure it for a "LOOK PAN" but can't seem to figure out how to do that. Has anyone successfully done that? i7-7700k @ 4.2 Ghz, 16 GB DDR4/3000,2280 SSD M.2,Genome II Case,Nvidia GTX 1080 rear exhaust, Samsung 40" HDTV & Two 24" HP side monitors.

lnuss Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I've not seen the Redbird, but one who can answer would need to know which sim you are using. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Looking at the FSX control buttons assignment, the "Look Pan" is assigned to the hat switch by default. Are you sure the switch on your yoke is really a hat switch? Can you change assignments and point it to your switch? Maybe look at the controller adjustment mode and see what each button or switch is called. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

lnuss Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Also, does the Redbird come with software to run along with the sim? If so, that would be a place to look. Larry N.

Jim Hall Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Thank you, gentlemen. Sporty's Pilot Shop ( I bought it there) shows it as a "Hat Switch" but it doesn't seem like it. I'll give Redbird a call tomorrow and see what they say. Also, no Redbird software. 1 i7-7700k @ 4.2 Ghz, 16 GB DDR4/3000,2280 SSD M.2,Genome II Case,Nvidia GTX 1080 rear exhaust, Samsung 40" HDTV & Two 24" HP side monitors.

lnuss Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 After chasing ar0ound the Redbird site for a while I found this: Quote Alloy YK1 Yoke Button/Axis Mapping: Joystick L-Axis X: Ailerons Axis; Reverse = False Joystick L-Axis Y: Elevator Axis; Reverse=False Button 1: Display ATC Button 2: Set Autopilot Disengage Button 3: Elevator Trim Down (Nose Down) Button 4: Elevator Trim Up (Nose Up) Button 5: Cockpit Look Down Button 6: Cockpit Look Right Button 7: Cockpit Look Up Button 8: Cockpit Look Left Button 9: Reset Cockpit View*Note: Buttons 5-9 are not available on Generation 1 YK1 Yokes. So you should be able to go in to the FSX controls menu (make sure the yoke is selected and not something else) and set those buttons accordingly, unless you got unlucky and received a Generation 1 yoke.
