Well, I don't have one of those joysticks but my joystick has 2 thumb toggle switches. I have one programed for flaps and the other programed for elevator trim.

Nate:

I don't have the Saitek either. I have a Thrustmaster Afterburner II. http://www.thrustmaster.com/eng/d_prd.php?p=T64&fam=6

I have my Joystick buttons setup as follows:

Hat Switch - 8 way views
Button - toggles 2d/3d/tower/spot views ( ie S key )
Button - Up elevator trim
Button - Down elevator trim
Trigger - Brakes

Throttle:

Button - Gear up/down
Button - Flaps down sequence
Button - Flaps up sequence
Button - unassigned
Rocker Switch - Rudders/nose wheel steering.
