Flounder's X52 Pro Keyfile/DX Profile for BMS 4.33
-
Woo-hoo, I have this done and mostly working for non pro, except there’s one switch on the throttle that’s bound to awacs in your setup that I don’t seem to have a dx number for on my throttle.
……
That may not be a recognized button in BMS (the layout around the MFD is different between the X52 and Pro). Easy way to see is to go to the BMS Setup UI and press the buttons on your MFD. The one’s that BMS ‘sees’ should show a text line with button number and text description, iirc. Some thing like, “Button 6 CMS Up”
Edit:
Not sure about the XML file, but this is what I see in the SST Programming:
It responds properly to radar slewing (which is mapped to F8, F9, F10 and F11 in BMS).
Just one more reason not to like SST, imho.
-
If it’s working, probably my guess that SST is using the same key codes is wrong.
It sure seemed like a good guess though, considering the other three key codes match exactly!Ah well, I figured out what I needed to. Sorry to be a pest.
When I’ve verified this working for 100% X52 non pro, would you like to post up the files?
I’d be happy to give them to you.
I’m sure there are other poor slobs like me with hoopty non pro sticks. -

Really it’s yours. All I did was remap a few buttons!

Padlock is not included. Below are all of the padlock functions with ‘No Key Assigned’. Using notepad or similar, open the key file. Copy the commands below and paste them in to the ‘External Views’ section. Save the keyfile …. be SURE to have a copy of the original, or give the amended keyfile a different name.
in BMS Setup --> Controllers, load this amended keyfile and ‘Apply’. You should be able to assign keys on the keyboard directly in the UI. Be sure to avoid conflicts with existing keyboard commands.
Thank you for your answer! I will try to modify the file to include padlock then.
Also, I am having problem with the FOV set on the throttle slider because it jitters a lot. I don’t know if there is a solution to this, otherwise I may try to set FOV with keys on the throttle Wheel instead of “range increase / decrease”…or just buy TIR^^

Yes, I have the same problem. That is a Saitek problem. You can see the jitter in the Saitek Control Panel, without BMS running at all. It’s possible that if the pot were cleaned it would improve. Moving FOV to ‘button’ control instead of axis control could work; rearranging axes could also be tried (not sure how good that would be …. it seems like all the axes jitter a little bit). You can also look at setting a deadzone or at changing the FOV increments (in the Falcon BMS cfg file).

I understand and I’m saying the same thing …. in reverse … you set it up, tested it, etc.
Regardless, once you’ve got it where you want it, we can repost it and host it somewhere so other can use it if they wish.

Hi Agave_blue,
Is the Pinkie switch also working like the normal Pinkie (ie zoom for TGP) on real F16 or is it only the shift function?

It is FOV on short press (FCR=>Norm/EXP/DBS1/DBS2; TGP=>Wide/Naro; Mav=>Norm/EXP; etc.); Hold = DX Shift.
I’ve updated the pinky description in the stick picture in post #1 for clarity.
The two commands are:
- SimHotasPinkyShift …. this is the one that acts as FOV on short press and DX Shift when held, and;
- SimPinkyShift …. this is the one that is DX Shift only.

Hi Agave_Blue.
I am learning Falcon with your profile and i want to turn on the HMCS display but I cannot see how activate it.Is this programmed in your profile?
Thank you. -
Hi Agave_Blue.

Thank you.I use the knob in the 3D pit (Left forward panel, just below the Chaff/Flare/EWS panel).
However, to directly answer your question, Yes, there is a keypress in the profile. Check post #1, the keyboard layout. It is ‘CTRL-[’ to decrease and ‘CTRL-]’ to increase HMCS brightness.

Thanks for your profile, I like it very much! But it is possible to use this Software “Two tablet cockpit extractor for Android” with your profile? All keys on the Tablets don´t Funktion. Is it possible to fix it? Since two days I try to change it. Unfortunately without success I’m still not so fit to work with the Keyeditor and SST
Big Thanks for your Support!

SebiSorry, but I’m not familiar with that app or how it uses the BMS keyfile.

Thank you Blue , quick question, will this profile work OK, with BMS 4.32, I have used it and have a couple issues which may be my install just checking!
I am flying with 4.33 but it is unstable some times, the frame rate is not real high even at 32 bit so may use older version to get up to speed until I can upgrade.

tuxHmmmm …. not 100% sure. Some callbacks changed in 4.33 … not many, but a few. It’s possible that one or more of those are included in this keyfile and they would not function correctly in BMS 4.32. That said, I think all of the HOTAS commands should be ok, it would likely be a few keyboard commands that don’t work.
Another alternative is to download my 4.32 DX Profile and use that in 4.32. HOTAS layout is very nearly identical. Keyboard layout is similar for ICP, OSB’s, etc., but contains a lot more default keys as well.

Could you to take the time to redo your Key file on your key file V 3 without the tracker, view settings as 4.33 for BMS 4.32 DX, I have been trying but have it all messed up, hate to ask you again. Need a key file editor for dummies!

Blue, made some changes in game ,using key file you made before no tracker, sorry to bother you! All is good for now!
Keep up the good work, your help is always appreciated!

tuxOk, thanks for posting. I was going to look at sometime this weekend.

I am trying to set up the Padlock as you describe, when you say paste the key file in External Views, is this in the" Keyfile Editor". I see external views in the editor, but in previous Falcon sim’s there was usually only one button to go into padlock, your code file above shows numerous padlock step lines. Wondering do I use just Padlock next and Padlock Previous .??
I am learning to use the editor and this is a little over my head as shown. I can manage to set it up in the UI once I get it in the right spot in the editor.
I am using BMS 4.33 ,
thanks Tux.
