PROGRAMMING TAB
After selecting the PROGRAMMING Tab you will see the X-55’s programming environment.
You will see a high-resolution image of the controller you are going to program on the left side of the
screen. On the right side of the screen you will see a list of command boxes, called “Cells,” going down
the page.
At the top of the image panel you will see Stick and Throttle icons. Clicking on either of these will change
the current unit you are programming. The unit you are programming is easily recognizable by the
larger image that fills the window.
In the PROGRAMMING Tab you can mimic your controller to directly copy any of the keyboard
commands used in your favorite games. The commands are then saved in what we call a Profile.
What is a Profile?
A Profile is the name given to a file that has programmed controller commands saved into it. For
example, you may have a Joystick with a number of buttons/hats. If you want one of these to do
something in-game that you would normally have to use a keyboard shortcut for, you can “assign”
that command to that button. If you want Button ‘A’ to activate the landing gear (which is the “G” key
on a keyboard), you can use the H.U.D. Software to assign this function. You can also create more
complicated assignments, like “shift+F2,” or even timed commands and macros.
