joystick buttons

[Eleuth]

I have a X56 Saiteck Hotas.
I installed the stick and throttle.
When I test the buttons are working.
But when I want to assign a speech command (say: gear up) to one of the buttons, there is no way to assign the buttons.
I can only assign key presses.
I have no VA or whatever.
I just want voiceattack execute the button command of the joystick if I give a speech command.

Is this possible ?
I can't find a solution on the forums and certainly not in the difficult to read online manual
Any help would appreciated.
Thanks

In whatever game you are using, if you are able to set more than one command for an action like "gear up" such as Joystick Button 3 and also Keyboard G, it would be the most efficient way to integrate VoiceAttack for action commands in a game.  Most games and simulators allow for more than one input assignment for an in-game action.  You should try to do this if at all possible because if you find the PDF manual difficult to read, you might find the process for configuring a virtual joystick equally frustrating.
