Hi all:

I'm having a very annoying problem with my SST software (last version available). If I assign a shift state combination to a hat, it tends to somehow loose it's key assignment if I release the shift key before the hat... Let me elaborate:

Say I have HAT3 assigned as 4-buttons, each one with key assignments to control the radar cursor. Now I create a shift state with, say, button A + Mode 1, in which my HAT3 will iterate through my AG weapons if I press it up, or my AG radar submodes if I press it down.

Now, the big problem. If I do "press ButtonA > press HAT3 > release HAT3 > release ButtonA" everything works perfect, but if I happen to do "ButtonA > HAT3 > release ButtonA > release HAT3" (releasing the shift key before the hat)... it messes everything and both normal and shifted states don't work anymore! I have to reload the profile for it to work agian. frown

Am I the only one with this problem? Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Did you ever figure out this problem? I just bought my X-65 and I am having the same issue.

Nop, havenīt found any way around this. frown

I tired all I could think of, but still, any hat with any kind of "shift" in any mode can wreck the profile.

Is this still valid? Drivers and profiler appear to be different versions. Clear callibration also doesn't appear to work. New calibrations do function, though.
