@munga:

Thanks Guys……yes it seems a HOTAS device are the best for these kind of SIMS… I hope some day I can purchase one

I purchased 2 hotas controls very expensive ones and they broke their junk, could not handle the twisting

Amarok,

Please note this is my best solution at this time and I’m yet to robustly test it!

first question: I’m having the same problem you are with my g40 hats. I think i’ve fixed it though:

Switches that have multiple modes of operation (long presses etc) cannot be combo keys (so, ‘Shift-Delete’ for example). As far as I can tell, this is TMS and the comms switch.

So, what you need to do is put the comms switch and TMS to the left/right/up/down and del/end/pgdn/home key binds in BMS and swap whatever was already on those (ICP for the arrow keys) to a ‘shifted variation’.

Then, assign keystrokes to the hats (in the Logitech software, sorry Amarok its the only way) to do the left/right/up/down and del/end/pgdn/home keys and you should be good to go.
Second question: I haven’t seen that (i’ve experienced the R1/2 on the throttle not working and fixed that with some rewiring). might be worth cracking open the joystick and seeing if your have stressed wires in there.

Reversal bug have been eliminated with recent drivers/firmware update and it seems to be no problem now.

Hi, I returned to Falcon after longer time, just installed BMS4.33 and got stuck with the same problem as mentioned above on G940 axis configuration. Can’t save changes to axis configuration, can’t switch mapped axis at “Pitch axis deadyone” to keyboard throttle settings. Tried clean install of BMS with registry cleaning of older version but it didn’t helped. Can anybody point me to the solution please?

Update: Oops, my bad, everything works. I was changing a configuring default controllers, so it got reset everytime. I haven’t realized when I chose joystick G940 as default that I have all axis available to set in advanced settings.

Does this still work? I only just started learning BMS a month or 2 ago and there is no such .key file in the user/config folder since 4.33 released. So much of the keymap system in game has been redesigned and I feel back to square one in trying to figure out the best way to setup my joystick. I will eventually get it working again but just looking at that keymap setup window and scrolling through all of those commands is frustrating.

Just add it with notepad. A line which has no key assigned already is:
SimPinkySwitch -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “Pinky”
The label in quotes is up to you.

Can anyone share the .key file settings/input and/or other settings you use for AIC?
Appreciated.

Thank you for the prompt response.

After trying the above suggestions, if the stick still doesn’t work on your computer and it does others and if you installed windows yourself, make sure the drivers for the USB ports are installed. I don’t know about windows 8, but to check in windows 7, Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> there should be no exclamation marks or red ‘x’ on any drivers, or even question marks.

If there are, go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC with the model number (bottom of laptop or sometimes top), type it in and download USB drivers or whatever corresponds to USB, maybe like a south bridge driver, etc. for windows 8.1.

I am SUCH AN IDIOT!!! (as I’m sure all of you know by now)

When I re-installed all of my stuff I FORGOT TO SWITCH THE “PERSISTENT PROFILE” to “ON” in the Logitech profiler. Args!

:uham:

just decided to get a new flight stick, went with the saitek x52 pro, problem salved
