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
