Hi,
Thanks for responding. Yes, I have the Logitech bloatware installed that allows me to remap keys to the thumb buttons, but I was kinda hoping to avoid that, as it's a bit klunky.
I should have specified that I'm running FSOpen 3.6.9. If I wasn't, I'd just chalk it up to FS2 being an old game that doesn't support extra buttons. But since there is a community that is still upgrading the game, I'm a bit surprised that no one has addressed this, especially since this is a game that uses a LOT of buttons.
Enjoying the game quite a bit nonetheless.
