Yip, that did it! Now to figure out why the sim is no longer full screen any more.

Simple case of some starts at 0, some starts at 1 🙂

Plagued DX for ages (at least for me) 🙂
and it hurts everytime I come back to it.

Hello everyone
I have a Saitek X52 HOTAS, it has been proving difficult to program with the new Logitech drivers and software. For some unknow reasons, it would not load profiles I downloaded.
I decided to go with the keyfile editor program to do a DX mapping and it was really straight forward.
Now I want to change the default mapping I got with the keyfile editor and cannot find any information on how to do this. I did some changes in-game with BMS controller
setup but the change I intend to do now involves the shifted state DX mappings with the Hat pov buttons. I do not want to mess up the mapping as it is now so I would really
appreciate info or a link to the proper way to do this. I read I could copy and paste value, I just do not know if this is applicable in DX mapping and where to paste the copied values to effect the changes if this is the way to go.

@Richard75:

is any body useing this set up and if there is maybe you can help me

I had problem with it too. First launch with bms it worked like dream. Yes first launch.

I had big fight with it because you can’t calibrate it like other sticks. Used some 16h in three days to get it work but after all fighting I gave up and return it for refund.
Now with CH products and skyes are clear.

Pro52 was really nice in specs and feeling but I didn’t get it to work and I have had some issues with it’s todays “manufacturer” on other products so thats make asking for refund easy and choose another manufacturer for HOTAS.

Hi

Please can someone tell me if it’s possible to lock the in game cursor (mouse not radar) to the centre view of Trackir?
I’m thinking this will be easier than reaching for the mouse every time I need to click a cockpit button that’s not bound to my hotas. I know I would have to bind the mouse left click to my hotas somehow.
I hope this isnt the wrong place to post. I’m using an X45.
Thanks

Jas

there is a bug that will cause the cursor to sneak up but I’ve only noticed it in AA mode and it only happens if your stick isn’t centered when you load in, for me was happening because the hardware was defective.

Call logitech , if it’s been less than two years they own saiteks liability.

Perseverance pays off. After digging around on the forum, I’ve found a remarkably helpful comment: the shifted functions do NOT appear in the UI but work in game!
Checked: and indeed it works.

Arriving at this point I can safely say the use of the keyfile editor isn’t as complicated as it first seems!

I would like to buy them … see PM

the point I make to you or anyone is that there is no inclination of choice, they purchased the liability of a defective product, any defective product as long as proof of purchase is present must be replaced removed repaired or refunded. The 4 r’s. there is no time period or lapse or limited v full or implied warranty jargon, courtesy, all that ish goes right out the window when the product is deemed to be defective. There is a consumer report available, I won’t get into the weeds here. Logitech has a d- on the BBB, saitek, not much better in legacy mode. I pulled the docs for WVirg as thats where I’m having mine shipped. Once you throw the shit into the fan, they pony up.

any defective product is returnable by the owner, an original box with documents has been enough (in small claims) to prove original ownership. Generally, all you have to do is say " defective products are covered by the CPA not the warranty, or a limited or lifetime warranty." and you’ve got most RMA warranty situations in the bag.

I just can’t seem to get my x-52 stick to work right should I take a closer look at the Falcon Editor because my stick registers in saitek programming but not when I get to controllers in BMS. I have programmed the stick several times but when I exit the game and start over I have to reprogram again. I have the correct settings per the manual yet I still have problems. It seems Microsoft acknowledges the stick, but BMS has trouble with the stick. So far the throttle is working correctly. I am using X-52 Hotas stick and throttle. Also I am running windows 10.

Hi guys, well i finally found a fix at the below link! its a regedit program which clears all the axes and then recalibrates them when you plug back in
again thanks for the replys 🙂

incompatibility no.
but SST software has serious issues especially when used with Team speak at the same time (don’t ask why 🙂 )
the issue was solved when from the Teamspeak settings menu–>Hotkeys–> bottom right corner–> choose Keyboard and mouse only instead of default…
that solved the pitch down problem of X52/pro when Teamspeak is used

Ill try it again and move both axis’s left all the way and save it again. Maybe its just my flying, maybe i just need to learn to control the stick a little better.

they make this shit too complicated to talk about. sorry. this will be final post till later if i remember.

if you have button “1” in mode 1, and change it to mode 2, it does not become button “1a” . you have to tell the profiler that in mode 2, button 1 = keyboard G, or what have you. This is the problem you are having if you are trying to set it up in the GUI.

Sorry for the post burger

@mzoucha:

I have the keys mapped to the actions as per below. When I’m in setup and press the corresponding keys below, setup recognizes them as being assigned to the correct action but once inside the simulator the keys do not function. I’m not familiar with the terminology “if the control is bound to an axis”. Can you please elaborate for me and/or provide any additional directions that might help me solve this problem? I appreciate your expertise!

SimRadarElevationUp -1 0 0X41 2 0 0 1 “TQS: ANT ELEV Knob - Tilt Up”
SimRadarElevationCenter -1 0 0X40 2 0 0 1 “TQS: ANT ELEV Knob - Center”
SimRadarElevationDown -1 0 0X3F 2 0 0 1 “TQS: ANT ELEV Knob - Tilt Down”

Frederf is saying that if it is mapped here:

The keys won’t work.

Well, thats because its not a button in the real F-16.

You should map TMS-up instead.

This last comment is fundamental - I’ve just spent hours over the last few weeks trying to get my X55 Throttle to work, just because selecting the right controller at the setup screen seems to be the right thing to do. Run setup with the Stick and it works! Obvious, really (?).

@drtbkj:

Vapor, is your problem perhaps uncommanded callbacks?

Thanks for the suggestion, apologies for not being clear. x-55 has always worked for me, i just didn’t enjoy adjusting/readjusting the saitek software. i tried the newer Logitech X-56 software hoping for better software and future software compatibility with windows, but, at the time i tried, the stick was not recognized by the saitek software or windows (because of the driver?) I am happy with the x-55 stick & throttle and have a lot of fun flying a virtual f-16.

The key file editor is something you’ll have to figure out on your own, for the most part. It’s not something that can be quickly explained. There are instructions provided, however. Both the editor and the instructions should be in the /docs folder in your BMS directory.

If you really don’t want to figure out the key file editor, you may try the “BMS Alternative Launcher”. It will be easier to use, but it’s a bit glitchy still.

The easiest way to set up the mouse stick is to use SST. Set the mouse stick X/Y axes to “bands”, then bind the push AND RELEASE for the appropriate slew key presses. If you don’t bind the release, you will have problems.

About your profile illustration, you need to have the TMS hat included somewhere.
