FAQ

Question:

I have yoke or stick that is not ELITE brand. How do I program the buttons to perform specific tasks (Trim up, parking brake, freeze etc…)?

Answer:

ELITE has a built in programming system. To find it, open ELITE and go to the CONFIGURATION screen. On the top left hand side will be a category called HARDWARE CONFIGURATION with 2 SET buttons within it. Click on the SET button next to “Computer”.

This will open up a new window with 4 options. You want to hit the CHANGE button next to “Game Controller”.

You will then see a window with your stick/yoke (or stick/yoke and pedals) listed. Highlight the stick/yoke and hit the SELECT button under “Main Flight Controls”, then click the CONFIGURE button beneath it. This will open the Flight Control Configuration screen.


On this screen all the axes of the stick/yoke will be listed on the top, and the buttons on the bottom. When you push a button (or rocker/HAT switch) it will illuminate that button/HAT direction on the screen in red. Once it is highlighted use the pull-down window next to “Function” to select the function for THAT button. Then push the next button you want to program and select its function. Rinse and Repeat until all your buttons have been programmed.
