Hag Downloaded the latest Saitek drivers....CHECK Downloaded your profile...CHECK Placed the F16AF113_X45TIR.key file in my falcon Config folder (C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\config)...CHECK Placed F16AF113_X45.pr0 file in my SaitekSD6Folder...NO You mentioned the F16AF114_X45.pr0 file is usually found in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Saitek SD6 Profiles. I do not have a C:\User\Public\... folder. I do have a My Documents folder, however there is no Saitek SD6 Profiles subfolder under it. FYI - I only installed the Saitek drivers - running this program: Saitek_SST_Software_32.exe and did not run this program: Saitek_X45_Flight_Controller_SD6_32. Perhaps that is why I don't see the other directory? Thanks, John

Hag Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not recognize any of these directories: GoesInFalconConfigFolder -> place the F16AF113_X45TIR.key file in your falcon Config folder GoesInSaitekSD6ProfilesFolder -> place the F16AF113_X45.pr0 file in your SaitekSD6Folder normally found C:\Users\Public\Documents\Saitek SD6 Profiles I may have needed to clarify that I am using Falcon4: Allied Force and not the original Falcon 4 game. Perhaps there is a different directory structure for F4AF? Please clarify. Thanks

I am new to the Falcon 4:Allied Force simulation. I have a few technical issues: 1) I am using the Saitek X45 HOTAS. F4AF is able to see the joystick movement and throttle along with the two rotary knobs which are controlling the radar elevation and something else I can't remember... None of the other buttons work, however when I first started playing last week, I at least had the trigger working for the cannon. I don't know why the trigger is no longer seen by F4AF. I have seen on the web that people have posted 'configurations' for the Saitek X45 mapping to the appropriate F4AF HOTAS options, however I see no way to import these into the game. And I haven't found instructions on how to do this. Can anyone tell me how to make the other buttons on the X45 HOTAS usable?How can I import a X45 HOTAS mapping into the game? 2) In flying the Air Refuelling training flight I am able to find and manuever up behind the tanker without too much trouble. When I start to get in close to the tanker and the boom is coming toward me, the Falcon seems to go into an "autopilot-like" state (I didn't activate the auto-pilot). In this state I can't manuever or change speed and I eventually drop out of the sky having run out of fuel. Alternatively, when in this "no-control" state if I do press the "A" key (Autopilot) the plane wobbles and drops away from the tanker and I can regain control. In neither case do I get a refuelling connection. What is going wrong here?How can I resolve this? Thanks for your help
