Flounder's X52 Pro Keyfile/DX Profile for BMS 4.33
-
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).

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

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!

Keep up the good work, your help is always appreciated!

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. -
Tux,
Try Using the excel file editor by Kolbe that comes with the 4.33 tool files. It is a lot easier to use. All you have to do is read the directions and you will end up with a .key file that is yours and yours only. This way is the one way I have found out to get to know the BMS keystrokes since I am the one mapping them. -
Will take a look at the Kolbe file. Wondering what stick you are using, with my set up there are so many buttons just thinking it will take forever to set it up, there are so many multiple combinations. I was thinking just make some changes only. If my combo had just a few buttons would be easier. I have been studying the editor and not as intimidated as in the beginning.
Pikachu, do you have a tracker set?
thanks for the feedback,

I used your suggestion and can make the changes I wanted, using BMS Full, it has the files I couldn’t find and apply in other profiles.
thanks
