I have just a regular X52 and it works fine (after detent removal). I am sure Warthog HOTAS is much better but after I removed the detent from the Throttle (you need to open up the throttle assembly and remove a small greasy part) It is perfectly fine for smooth control. Maybe I will have a different view after using something better but given the price this X52 is already good enough to have fine control and be be good at AAR.

I think the little blue bar might not work inside the ADVANCED section but when you back out to the pitch-roll gray ball setup screen there’s a rudder bar out there. Try a taxi-start and see if it actually works on a running jet maybe?

I have a question about this profile.

As I understand it, we cannot use this profile for 4.34 because it hasn’t been remapped for the new version? Can someone clarify?

Thanks

@malpaso:

Was able to solve the problem,molnibalage ??

I was able to learn to set as way the Logitech SW to make more usable as turning off but I also worked deleting all pre defined state in case MODE selector also could be programmed.

Thx. I’m heading now to flying. 🙂

Hi all

My TrackIR is out of service for the moment, and I’d like to able to use the Saitek X-55 ministick to control the internal views.

Thanks!

Hi Kolbe, as reminder, the POV changes you suggest are already in the files
BMS - BasicDX X-52.key and BMS - BasicDX X-52_MFD.key ,
supplied by default in folder C:\Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup\Saitek X-52
of the 4.34 installation.

I thank you, or whoever prepared, for those keyfiles.

Yes, the suggested fix was actually the premade X52 key quoted. I used the reverse - what Kolbe suggested I delete, to make it friendlier to play for myself.
The supplied X52 keyfile in 4.34 was a massive help to getting started in BMS.

Hi to all someone managed ti create a profile with “modes”? I d like to have mode 1 for nav 2 for air to air and 3 for air to ground. There Is something to download that is similar or someone Who could explaine how to do? Thanks in advance

Look in the directory C:\Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup\Saitek X-52 for the two X52 keyfiles. Either one has the following lines:

Mode Up Position (Win DX24 = BMS DX23)

SimSelectSRMOverride 23 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

Mode Mid Position (Win DX25 = BMS DX24)

SimDeselectOverride 24 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

Mode Down Position (Win DX26 = BMS DX25)

SimSelectMRMOverride 25 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

Those are the default settings for the rotary to which you refer. Also present are the following lines, which are the callbacks you want:

Function (Win DX27 = BMS DX26)

SimICPAA 26 -1 -2 0 0x0 122

Start/Stop (Win DX28 = BMS DX27)

SimICPAG 27 -1 -2 0 0x0 122

Reset (Win DX29 = BMS DX28 )

SimICPNav 28 -1 -2 0 0x0 122

DX 26-28 are the buttons under the window on the throttle. You can exchange the DX numbers between the two groups to get what you want for the mode rotary. Good luck,

-Ron

Hi to all has Someone mapped x 52 with “modes”? I like to have mode 1 for navigation mode 2 for air to air and 3 for air to ground. There Is something to download or someone that can explian how to do? Thanks in advance!

My problem with the radar stick was trackir, moving the stick put the default profile on trackir. I had to change the trackir keys and now it works (BMS 4.34 and WIN10)

Never mind. I assigned the external light function to an available button and the missing zoom feature is available on the throttle slider. (don’t know how that happened, but it is actually more convenient) All other functions work as previously designed by Scuby!

@Steel:

I am using Flounder’s setup, but I can seem to stop. I pull the pinky switch and the trigger but I keep rolling. I am using Saitek Pro X52. I assume Im not setting this up correctly. Little help please.
Thanks

The key file has the following line:
SimWheelBrakes 256 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

This indicates that button 256 should be pressed to enact the callback. This button is “0” with the shift engaged which adds 256 to all of the button numbers.

What you should find is that pressing the trigger button in the setup screen should report that you are pressing “Button 01” and not for example “Button 33” or “Button 65” which suggests that your joystick is not the first controller and assigned the buttons 1-32.

Next would be a verification that the trigger and pinky switch are doing their normal jobs. Trigger is sort of hard to test because it doesn’t do much. The first detent for example will cause the AVTR to record if AVTR is set in auto. This is a decent test to perform to confirm it is working. The pinky switch operation should be obvious as it will expand the FCR display.

If button 1 (trigger first detent) and 6 (pinky) both function then the combination (256) should also work.

Make sure that brakes axis is set to keyboard control. If set to axis control it’s probable that digital control of brakes will not function.

@DUSTOFF17:

Thanks for the help, sadly when I do that there is no mini-stick in the drop down list, only X, Y, Z rotation from the silly rotator knobs, twist grip and mouse wheel. Any ideas why it won’t show up?

Lose the twist grip and add the mini-stick as an axis for the controller. That’s a registry hack, but it’s simple and effective.

The basic issue is that windows only recognizes a certain number of axes on a device, so you have to ‘remove’ one (twist rudder) and replace it with another (x/y mini stick).

My post for the X52 Pro is post #13.

Check first post for newer version. Nothing too drastic, but now using the 4.34 keyfile, documented my use of the microstick-axis and made some small personal changes.

Hi there,

Are there any good x52 pro profiles and keyfiles available for bms 4.34?

The one i had wich worked fine for me in 3.33 still works but, with the new key strokes there are functions i cannot use now anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Ill have to experiment with 4.34 setup page then. In 4.33 and prior, you cannot select the pitch/roll device in the advanced setup axis window. You have to set that device in the dropdown box in the setup controllers window. That dropdown box is used to set ONE device only as the primary flight control - its first two axes will be used for pitch and roll control.

After that is set, you can use the advanced setup axis window to assign any other axes you like - but only once the dropdown box is already set to the primary flight control device (the one you use for pitch and roll controls).

Is there way to setup my x52 so i can pan left right up down so its smooth like in DCS? At the moment when using the hat switch it moves 45degs then stops and you to press the hat switch again. It would be great to be able to pan and have a smooth motion.
Thanks

A powered USB is a must with the 56. Known issue of ghosting without one.

Thanks MorteSil…appreciate the response and info. Will give it a go!

@Mower:

This worked. Thanks.

You’re welcome, glad it worked
