Hi All , I am a new member 74 years old living in the UK. I have just installed FSX on my PC along with a Logitech Attack 3 joystick. i have Win 7. Any help and advice you can give would be welcome, all i want to achieve is basic flying enough to keep my mind active, and have something to do when it is to wet to play golf . My first problem is how do i customize my 11 buttons on the joystick to the keys on the PC keyboard Many Thanks in advance. :) :)

We have to keep the World in a balanced state of equilibrium, by discouraging the use of Mobile Phones in public places, the use of Text Speak, the wearing of American Base-ball caps (anywhere), and calling other non-American Folks; "Guys", "Dude", loud whistling through fingers, etc...etc......ad infinitum... >:(..!

Welcome to the world of FSX: after your first - succesfull or not - flights you might have a look at the FSX-section and especially at the 'important topics' on top of the board. The FAQs will answer the basic problems but feel free to post any questions related to FSX in mentioned board...  ;)
