Well, if it's like the older Sidewinder 3D pro, it has a mode 1 and 2
switch.  One is CH flightstick emulation, the other is thrustmaster
emulation.  You get to use the throttle control, or multiple buttons at
once, depending on that setting; you can't have both.  I reccomend not using
the throttle anyway.
