Saitek X-52 Profile
-
Hey, Thanks KesMonkey and Viking for making these setups and profiles for the X52!
My problem seems to be that my mouse stick on the throttle does not work as a slew button for my radar, and it acts differently from time to time it seems, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it just functions as a mouse ingame. Regardless, it never actually lets me slew the radar.
I have disabled the clutch function trough windows, but im wondering if the clutch function in the Proflight X52 profile program might have something to do with this?
Or if theres some settings i need to fix within the Profile software itself.
Any help would be much appreciated. -

Any help would be much appreciated.I would suggest downloading the file from post 356 again then following the readme exactly. If that doesn’t fix it let me know and we will try to figure it out.

It didnt fix it.
I will troubleshoot some more and get back to you if i cant find any solution. -

I will troubleshoot some more and get back to you if i cant find any solution.If you open the .pr0 file in the profiler, does it say the Ministick X and Y axis are configured as bands?
-
EDIT: Yes both “Ministick X axis = Bands” and “Ministick Y axis = Bands”

Allright, i got it working, i had to adjust my deadzones on the mouse stick within the control panel.
Thanks for all the help guys! this is a really great community! -

And now i cant get my ministick to slew the radar anymore.
Within the Falcon BMS X-52.Pr0, the following lines say:
[axis=0x00050024 name=‘Ministick X Axis’]
[axis=0x00050026 name=‘Ministick Y Axis’]]Then further down i have:
[axis=0x00050024 role=bands
[mouse-x=15]
[bands
[band=40 command=425a93e2-34f2-4023-8ca9-910cc2eb4081]
[band=60]
[band=100 command=0e319f29-4484-449d-984d-fedb13342447]]]
[axis=0x00050026 role=bands
[mouse-y=15]
[bandsDoes this look correct?
I had it working before the summer, than when i came back home i couldnt get it to work. ive done the whole process several times and cant get it to work. I feel like BMS doesnt want to pick up on the fact that the Saitek software has the ministick x\y axis translated into F8-11. And ingame if i press the F8-11 keys the radar slews, but the ministick wont work.
Ive also fiddeled around with the deadzones on the ministick, but it does not work.Any help?

Thank you for this profile, I have been using it all summer to learn the game. Its fantastic.
One problem I have run into is that the wheel mouse button 2 is not increasing or decreasing my radar ranges. I checked the controller and everything is functioning well. Any ideas? For now I’m just using the mouse to click on the appropriate cockpit buttons.
Another problem is that rotarty 2 is not adjusting my Hud brightness.
Thanks,
Scott

The precision slider is HUD brightness and the rotary is TGP zoom. For the FRC range, load your pr0 and roll the scroll wheel and see what it says in SST. I believe the devs removed the callback for FCR range inc/dec. If so and you don’t like to walk the cursor to the next range like IRL, then bind osb 19 and 20 to scroll up and scroll down. I no longer have an X52 hooked up. Let me know how the range works out.

You should edit the pr0 within SST. Open SST and move the ministick. Does it show it is bound to f8-f11?
-
Yes, if i slew the F8-11 keys light up.

Only use these files and follow these directions only. I doing this does not work let me know.
The read me is included in the zip. Here is the HOTAS mapping.

I have exactly the same problem as you. Unfortunately, it seem nobody have a fix for that….

Thanks for this profile!
Can someone tell me what settings I need to enable the rotaries to work? Currently they aren’t changing anything but the rest of the profile works fine.
Also, is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of the mini-stick for cursor slew? As it stands it makes the TGP quite challenging to operate when zoomed in over large distances.
Cheers

Have you assigned the rotaries in the controller setup avionics page within BMS? Are you ground stabilizing the TGP by going area or point track?
-
I have not, but whenever I select the X, Y or Z rotation from the drop down box for radar ant elev, moving the rotaries still has no effect.
As for cursor slew i’m referring to the operation in area mode.

I’ve never heard of that problem. I would try reinstalling everything and only use these files and instructions from post 356.
Have you verified all the rotaries work correctly, especially rotary 1?
-
Ok i’ll give that a shot thanks.

Hello Viking, thank you for your work in updating this profile!
I’m using the joystick without TIR, and have mapped the “look” to the DMS HAT. I’d now like to put the DMS in the place of Trim, as the shifted version. I’v got a basic understanding of how shifted works in the .key file, and my thinking was to replace the “trim” entries (and their corresponding 2xx key number) with the DMS command. But I cant figure out wich keynumbers they would go under :(.
Thanks to any1 who can lend a hand!
Edit: Nevermind! After I checked your original file, with that nice commentating, I figured it out!
Consider this a thank you post!
