Suggestion for dual stage triggers

[HalJordan]

I do this in X4 and Elite(and Freespace and a few others), where both triggers handle primary and secondary fire, just inverse of each other. On the right stick, the first stage is primary, second stage is secondary. The left stick swaps this to first stage secondary and second stage is primary. Generally this does end up with a full press being both are fired, but that's not always a bad thing as it leaves the other index finger free for what few buttons it has access to(like the quick fire buttons and that weird one on top.

It's semi-perfect, but it gives them a use. Otherwise, yeah the second stage isn't really usable in most situations.

Also, the trick to setting this, is to be holding the first stage, then with your other hand start the binding process, then fully pull back to activate the second stage. this should end up with say primary being set to stage one, and only the second stage set to the secondary fire(and vice-versa for the left set). it shouldn't read as holding both to activate secondary.

I haven't tried binding the secondary trigger with the new configuration UI. I'll give it a try this weekend.

Any time I tried to bind the secondary button on the trigger, X4 only picked up the first button trigger.

I'm pretty sure if we manually edited the input.xml file we could bind it...but that's sub-optimal.

Manually editing should work as well. The trick, is to be holding the first stage and not let go of it, then with the other hand click to start binding the function, then press in enough to activate the second stage. I use it here, and in Elite Dangerous.
