Or you should just have answerd that his post is not updated, and you made a new keyfile. Or better yet, make a new post with the updated keyfiles, so that people, and moreover newbies, don’t have to read 35 pages.
You can do that if you want to. I’m trying to clear up the bad info you posted. I have no intention of making a new thread, but you can if you want. It’s pretty simple to go to the end of a thread and see if there is an update, or use the thread search tool to search for 4.33. If someone’s not smart enough to find it then maybe they aren’t smart enough to fly BMS or load this profile. I will help anyone who needs it, but I haven’t seen enough traffic to justify a new thread. But, by all means, go ahead if you think that is what should be done.

It’s not bad info regarding the original post.

I didn’t make the keyfile update. Just an idea to make it easier for what people are looking for. Generally, the first and last post is what people first read, specially lengthy ones.

I think this is not how someone should treat people or newbies… BMS has already a steep learning curve, and making things more difficult for them, specially just a profile, is not good idea.

Everybody? Including the ones you mentioned above? Now I’m just confused.

Yes, everyone. Find one person who has asked for help with this profile that I haven’t helped since I updated it. Do I have to make a new thread to get you to stop trolling this one?

Viking is helping everyone, even foreigners like me, and he did nothing but good work not opening a new thread! We own this guy a lot for his time and patience with new pilots and noobies. Viking has tons of free beers in Rio. Thanks for help bro!

The read me is included in the zip. Here is the HOTAS mapping.

Thanks Viking for your help and answers. Everything works fine now. What confused me was that pinky switch actions are not visible on the controller setup page. It works in-game just fine. But now I’d like to do my own profile, with button bindings that are more similar to the profiles that I’m using in DCS World. It would be nice if you could advice me how can I do that. Maybe a link or something. Thanks.
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. -

+1, for all the same reasons above. Thanks a lot for the update, Viking.
With best regards,

I’m using the no Trackir profile and I’m not getting any input detected from the pinky switch, I’ve copied and pasted the two lines of code into the .config file and disabled clutch mode, and still nothing. Am I missing something?

When you fly you are not getting the expanded views in the MFD’s and shifting is not working?
The no TrackIR profile has not been updated to 4.33.1. I am not sure if it will work. If you want to use the updated profile for TrackIR then modify it to fit then I can help. Post #356

Do I edit the .key file to remap the radar cursor up, down, left, and right keys?
I’d like to keep the TIR keys at the default. Has anyone else already done this?
-
You can map the up, down, left, right keys to the radar slew but you cannot use shift or any other modifier. You then have to go into SST and change the keys to the ones you changed to in the key file. You will lose the ICP commands on the arrow keys, but you can do without them or map them somewhere else.

Modifiers work ok if using old saitek drivers. I posted about it a few days ago. Anyway, the easy option is indeed binding to single keystrokes. I’m using shift-arrows because they’re default, don’t cause any conflict and I don’t loose any functionality. Fully DX here…profile is just for tdc.

Thanks for the replies. Is it possible to map everything just using the Saitek software or is there some kind of limitation that I’ll run into if I do that.

Better to avoid it, 'cause SST software is famous for the conflicts with other software for example Teamspeak settings…Make sure the hotkeys are set at “mouse and keyboard only” and not the default, or it’s 90% sure you’ll be facing pitch down issues in MP flight
-
I changed the radar cursor keys to another set of keys in BMS. Then I updated the SST software with the new set of keys.
The radar cursor moves (GOOD) but won’t stop moving (BAD) when I release the mini-stick.
Any ideas on what I did wrong?
-
You probably did nothing wrong. You just hit one of the many Saitek problems. Read this thread.
This forum also might help you
-
Thanks I see you had a similar problem. I’ll try those drivers.

KesMonkey’s profile is awesome and in honor of his wonderful work on this profile that I am so grateful for, I have updated it for the 4.33 Basic Key File. Follow all the directions that KeysMonkey included in his profile and simply add these files instead of his key file and pr0. It is for TrackIR. I added cockpit sounds to most of the callbacks and changed a few buttons.
Here are the button changes:-Fire A which was Cycle AA Hardpoints is now Paddle Switch. If someone comes up with a better function please let me know.
-T1 is toggle gear. T1 Shifted is Eject.
-T2 is CAT toggle. T2 Shifted is Wheel Brakes. I got rid of parking brake because I found that if you use pinky switch to shift then apply brakes and release pinky shift while holding the wheel brake the brakes will stay on even after releasing all buttons. Please test and let me know and I can help you add a parking break if you like.
-T3 is “Waypoint” or Steerpoint increase. T3 Shifted is TGP zoom in.
-T4 is Steerpoint decrease. T4 Shifted is TGP zoom out.
-T5 is 3D cockpit. T5 Shifted is Look Closer.
-T6 is Weapon View. T6 Shifted is Combat Autopilot.Let me know if you think something needs to be added or moved around.
There are also a couple outdated callbacks that were changed or removed or maybe a new one was added, so I matched that function with the new cockpit callback.
I would appreciate it if people took the time to check if the sounds I added match the cockpit sounds, so if you feel like checking to see if the callback makes the same sound as the mouse click in the cockpit I would like to hear back about them.I take no credit for this profile I only updated it. All the credit for the profile goes to KeysMonkey. I would also like to thank Snelle for his awesome work on the X55 profile which helped me to learn a lot.
I hope this stokes some people up as much as KeyMonkey’s original profile did for me.
Also, if someone wants to give me the DX numbers for a X52 Pro I could try to modify this to work for it.
Thanks again KeysMonkey!
Update:
-The CAT toggle was mapped wrong. It is now fixed.
-The FCR range inc./dec. was mapped wrong. It is now fixed.
-The mouse nipple was not working and it cannot be mapped to a shifted button so I mapped it back to F8,F9,F10,F11. Be aware of TrackIR buttons as you were with the original profile.
-I had to change the Falcon BMS X52.pr0 file to get everything to match with the 4.33 key file and work correctly.
-I tested everything and it all functions as advertised. Please let me know if you find anything wrong or have any suggestions.First of all thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. I’ve been trying to wade through the waters to immerse myself in BMS but I’m having a hard time getting out of the gate so I apologize for what is probably a noob question. So here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Downloaded the zip file for the updated profile (Key’s updated BMS 4.33.1 X52).
- Extracted the axismapping.dat, joystick.cal, and Vikings BMS 4.33 U1 X52.key to the E:/FalconBMS4.33U1/User/Config folder
- Extracted the Falcon BMS X-52.pr0 file to my Saitek folder
- Activated the pro file and confirmed that it’s displaying Falcon BMS X-52 in the Mode 1 in the display window
- Loaded the Vikings BMS 4.33 U1 X52.key file in the game
The problem I’m running into is that many of the mapped buttons are not showing or functioning in game. DMS up/down/left/right work. TMS up/down/left/right aren’t showing mapped as are Fire buttons A,B,C. The trigger isn’t showing mapped either. T1-T6 buttons aren’t showing mapped. Oddly enough Radar range increase/decrease are showing mapped on wheel mouse button 2.
Rather than attempt to try and map all these buttons I feel like the answer is probably a simple one but I’m close to banging my head in frustration in trying to figure this out. On a side note I did have a Logitech G13 controller running when I installed BMS. It recognized that device as my default joystick. I plugged in the X52 and after searching this thread I determined the X-52 was listed as “1” in the priority of joysticks. Unplugged the G13 and if memory serves me correctly I did a check of making the X52 as priority over “older” games. Either way the X-52 now shows up as “0” in the priority of joysticks (and the G13 remains unplugged for the time being). I deleted my config folder and tried a fresh start with my backup config folder (hey I read the install notes to make a backup!!!) now knowing that my X-52 was the priority. And that’s where I’m at currently. So mostly non functional but functional in small bits. And since it’s mostly non-functional I haven’t even tried to mess with the pinky functions (yet). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
