Yes. Notepad is perfect.

Radar slewing doesn’t work for me on this profile.
- In the Saitek profile editor, using the minimouse results in the correct F-keys being triggered
- In the in-game key setting, and in the cockpit, using it doesn’t illicit a response
- The mouse fire button calls Radar cursor up
- I can press the f-keys in-game and they work fine.
Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I’ve already made sure my track-ir keys are rebound, and I’m not running teamspeak.
In-game, inputs from the mini-stick are simply ignored.edit
It’s a problem with other profiles too, so I’ll have to look around some further.A key conflict, sounds like. My advice would be to insure first that the SST profile is the profile provide and is ‘clean’ of any inputs EXCEPT the cursor slew keys and the TS PTT (CapsLock) and that no modes or pinky shifts exist in that pr0 file (they should not). Then, install the BMS Flounder *.key file and select it in BMS. Also be sure that the X52 Pro controller is selected controller in the BMS setup screen.
Also, if you have other devices (MFD’s, Rudder, etc.), they can interfere in the sense that they take up a set of DX buttons (32 each device). That needs to be accounted for locally. If that is an issue, post back and I’ll try to describe how to ‘fix’ the ‘problem’.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Those settings were all in order. I do have Logitech g11 keyboard, but I don’t think those use DX buttons. I’ve found a different fix to my problem in the mean while: Instead of the latest drivers for Win7, I installed the Win10 beta drivers and the mouse controller works with this (even though I’m on Win7). Hopefully other people will find this to be a fix to their issue.

I use 0-15% up 16-84% middle 85-100% up same for left and right and it started to work 100% -

Starting from scratch, just installed BMS 4.33 and I have Windows 10, will your profile work and if so what order do I install drivers and program. I did a lot of reading of other profiles, it gets a little confusing after a while. I have the Satek X52 Pro set up and just getting started.
thanks

tux139If BMS works for you, this profile will work.
I do not recall the order in which the Saitek software and drivers are installed. It should be specified in the Saitek instructions and/or on the Saitek support site.
One key note, in the Saitek Control Panel, you should NOT have the Clutch Mode enabled …. like so:
-
Clutch mode was enabled, I have 4.33 working,
thanks for quick reply, looks awsome so far!

I am finding things very unstable, flying is iratic, even making turns it over corrects, it is like things are going to slow my system is fast enough, must be Windows 10, I will load on my XP computer and compare? If I let off the stick in a turn it goes into a roll, trying to correct it is like slow motion and over corrects the other way, I know this sounds crazy but just isn’t stable.
\thanks for you help, much appreciated, will get back after my XP install on my other computer,
I have the latest drivers still no go,

This could be any number of things …. keyfile conflicts, mis-assigned axes, drivers, HOTAS, etc.
If loaded and set up properly (as shown in the first post), it is extremely unlikely due to the keyfile. One thing to check is trim … make sure the trim is zero’d.
You can see in-game frame rates by pressing CTRL-C (release, then) F. You need ~25 FPS minimum, otherwise it’s a ‘slide show’.
Also, do you have any devices connected other than an X52 Pro (MFDs, ICP, etc.)?
-
I will double check the install , and other suggestions ,thanks for the heads up, only x52 hooked up.
-
…… only x52 hooked up.
Sorry, but to clarify …. X52? or X52 Pro?
This will NOT work properly with an X52 … pro only. The buttons are numbered differently so the command shown here would be something else on an X52.

I can not get the FPS to show up? I notice your profile name (Flounder x52 pro v5)in the throttle window is running constantly from right to left, it should stay in the window and not move. The graphics in the game look good, I can toggle the functions on your profile in the setup of the game , the throttle does not work properly and it does roll in the turns without stopping. Looks like the drivers for the Saitek. Will uninstall the drivers and load again.
thanks for your help. -
Profile name scrolls across the MFD for me.
You’ve loaded the keyfile & the Saitek pr0 file and done (and saved) the setup as shown in the BMS SETUP UI?
Hopefully drivers fix it.
