How to Use the Pro Flight SST

Saitek makes the Pro Flight line of game controllers for playing PC games. The controllers come with Saitek's special software, the Saitek Smart Technology, or SST, profile editor. SST is specially designed for video games that don't automatically recognize game controllers but work by keystrokes instead. When a gamer presses a button on his game controller, the SST interprets it for the PC as a keystroke that the game will recognize. Sets of buttons are saved for each game as a profile.

Instructions

    • 1

      Left-click on the SST profiler icon, on the taskbar at the lower right of the PC screen.

    • 2

      Select "Profile Editor" from the pop-up menu. The Profile Editor will open in a window showing a picture of your controller at the left and a menu listing the buttons of your controller on the right.

      Click on one of the buttons in the picture of your controller. Alternatively, press the button itself on the controller. The corresponding menu item at right will light up, and a cursor will appear in the box.

    • 4

      Type the keystrokes you want to activate in the highlighted cell. For instance, you could input "T" and "shift+" if your game used those keystrokes to activate an option.

    • 5

      Click the green check mark to accept the keystrokes you've input. Click the red X to close the box without accepting the keystrokes.
