Close and save the file.

Now open TrackIR5 Software and map the PAUSE and CALIBRATE buttons to your HOTAS buttons.

Load the profile and test it. Once you are happy with the way it works, delete the default.xml file and rename MyProfile.xml > default.xml. That way this profile will always be used by default.
