X55 worth getting?
-
I have a X-55 and really like it. I haven’t tried the others, so can’t comment on those.
-
I actually hadnt realised i have 2 USB ports at the front, and another 4 at the back of my tower. So i can run an X-55 and have everything else plugged in that i need to play the sim no probs. Great….so X-55 for me it is, lets look on ebay.

Good news. I thought you had an old computer based on your previous statement of “limited USB ports”.

one other consideration, are there any good BMS Profiles supporting the X55? I know there are some nice ones for the X52 Pro such as Scuby’s.
-
And i’ve just bought one so now waiting for it to be delivered. Cant wait and getting excited lol…Falcon BMS is installed waiting for me to sink my teeth into it. I’m also gona buy head tracking gear, the Delan clip and a mic to do MP. That leads me to ask this, will the Delan clip and the camera both need to be plugged into the PC by USB?

I have what I consider a good one. Need it?

I’ve been seeing quite a lot of comments about the X55 being difficult to setup, is it really that difficult?

No.
-
Absolutely not!
-
I’m just thinking it might not be difficult for you but probably will for me. As a complete newbie, will i still find it easy?
-
Yes is still the answer. Most of the rotaries will be programmed through the BMS setup. The rest…just get a profile from someone and program your HOTAS to your liking. To make it even easier, get with someone in your time zone…or close to your time zone and get on TS3 for a walk-through.

Cheers.

I should be receiving my X55 in the post tomorrow, and i’ll get my delan clip sometime in first week of september, happy days.
-
@cns - Are you located in the U.S.? If so, what time zone?
-
Just to add to the discussion.
Newbie here too and to be frank not hard to set up at all.
Although I’ve asked a couple of questions here the answers have been so obvious I’ve felt a bit of an idiot afterwards!
Another observation though…
I decided to set mine up totally in game and not by using the Saitek software. Mostly well but be aware…the key file.key does occasionally do some really weird things…like random assignments…well that’s my experience.

No i’m in the UK, and by the looks of it a good portion, i guess most people on here are in the US.

Hi Gary well at least it seems you know what “key file.key” refers to lol. So what is that? at a guess i’d say thats what keys are used on your keyboard for controls along with your X55?
-
Hi,
Just because I know what it’s called doesnt mean I understand it…lol…Although yes I think that’s what it means as you say.
I’ve read various key file threads like a dozen times and still have no idea frankly.
Uk here too btw…London.
Happy to share my key file if you want it - just let me know.
Regards
Gary

Which leads me to another question, how many controls do you have mapped on your keyboard? hopefully not many but i’m sure the most important and regularly used ones are on your X55.
