timppu: Maybe that function is hardcoded to the hat (hence you can't assign other functions to the hat), and applicable only to ships which have Vector Control Thrusters? Have you tried with some craft that has that ability, does it work?
No not yet (I don't have that technology yet I'm assuming).

I actually went back to playing the game without running it through the flight stick software. It allowed me to use the hat (using virtual keyboard scripting) but messed up throttle. I didn't feel like mucking about with it more, so I'm hatless it looks like ;)

I wonder if it has to do with modern hats being 8 way (I think?) and maybe only being 4 way back then? Is there a way to config the hat to only be 4 way? Or maybe like you said, it's hardcoded in (I'll double check tonight and see if there are entries under flight stick configuration to alter the Vector Control Thrusters).

Slightly annoying, but for now I'll just work with my reassigned keystrokes.
