Saitek X-52 Profile

Thank You Very Much !!!
-
Kes,
great work fella.
What do you use as the eject ? or canopy toggle?
- i have one prob - i cant seem to make the range wheel work.
i have also remapped the slider to the radar antenna - i have always found this a really useful tool - especially when attacking planes at different alts.
- tremendous work getting the throttle square buttons doing something useful

If someone has a X52 pro version of this you would be my hero

Thanks a lot for sharing, KesMonkey, I’m going to try that configuration right now.:D
-
Alright I attempted to convert it to X-52 Pro. Still a work in progress.

Some DX button assignments were different and had to be changed. I can’t figure out how to use the LCD buttons, because on the Pro they are buttons 33 and 34, which are not supported by BMS (only up to 32 buttons per controller). Other then that everything else should be the same (though I had to create new axis assignments, but they should be right).

Cheers ade. Yeah, the great thing is that everybody will be able to tweak the setup to their own likings.
The only tricky part is mapping the shifted functions, which can’t be done through the game’s user interface.
In this profile, eject is mapped to the default which is (hold) ctrl + e on the keyboard.
Canopy handle is also it’s default setting which is Ctrl + shift + C. You can easily remap these from the game’s u.i.
The range wheel? Do you mean the mouse wheel on the throttle?
If so, that’s defined in the Falcon 4 BMS X-52.pr0 file for your Saitek profiler software.
Do you have this profile running in the background? -

Aw, crap. I don’t see a way around that.

I’ve just started to use this and it’s much better than what I was hacking away with. My only problem, and it’s a big one, is that I cannot use the mouse stick to slew my radar cursor. I’ve updated my software and drivers as well.

Does the SST software allow those buttons to be programmed to send keystrokes? Or, are they limited to manipulating the LCD menus? (X-52 owner here, who hasn’t started fooling with BMS yet… so I’m just pulling up dusty memories here…)

Can you confirm that you have Falcon 4 BMS X-52.pr0 profile running in your Saitek SST software?

The SST profiling software doesn’t allow that, no. Each of those buttons does have a DirectX ID number though, so they are recognised natively by the sim. With the Pro model however, the ID numbers for those buttons are outside the range recognised by the sim.

Update:
Throttle idle detent is now correctly calibrated on the throttle axis.
**“**Slap switch”, a vital part of the countermeasures system, is now mapped to shift + Fire D

I do have the BMS profile enabled, everything but the cursor works. Also, could you consider hosting your file on something other than megaupload, like mediafire or the server?

KesMonkey,
Thanks for the profile, I find it very helpful. I know a lot of work went into it. One question regarding the Shifted functions, I copied and pasted the two lines you posted to falcon bsm cfg and then hold the pinky key for at least 0.5 seconds, but I don’t get the shifted functions…get same as not shifted. Is there a special place to paste it in there or a special way to paste it? One more question, I downloaded the latest drivers from Saitek and on the Satek controllers page, under clutch settings I only have one option; “latched clutch”…nothing for “enable clutch…” Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yeah, unlatching the clutch button should do the trick.
If those lines are inserted neatly in to the list (see pic), this isn’t the problem.
Can you check to see if the each of these lines:
SimHotasPinkyShift 5 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimHotasPinkyShift 261 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
appear in the .key file that you’re using? Just open the .key file with wordpad, and find (ctrl + f) each of those lines.
If for any reason, either of those lines are missing, just paste them in at the bottom of the list.Let me know what you find.

No problem, here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?ravlddxasf9ex9c
You might need to disable your Saitek Magic Mouse drivers that were installed by the SST software.
Let me know if this works please. -
Update:
I’ve remapped the shift + POV Hat 3 (throttle POV Hat) functions to give more control over radar modes.
*Shift + POV Hat 3 Left now cycles through the A-A CRM modes (TWS/RWS/VLS/VSR).
*Shift + POV Hat 3 Right now cycles through the A-G modes (GM/GMT/SEA).
*Shift + POV Hat 3 Down is now assigned to Radar Bar Scan Change.
*Shift + POV Hat 3 Up is now mapped to Radar-Submodes/Azimuth (previously on shift + mouse wheel click).
_When the radar is in ACM mode (dogfight mode), this function will cycle through ACM submodes (Boresight/Vertical/30x20/Slew).
_In all other A-A and A-G modes, it will cycle through the radar azimuth scan zone settings.
*Shift + mouse wheel click now toggles A-G snowplow mode.The first post has been updated to reflect all changes.

Awesome profile! One problem though, I cannot get your axes to work, no slider or rotaries, and all joystick axes were blanked out in game, so I had to manually re-assign them. (I dropped the axis file in the right folder). Any suggestions?

Thanks. If the axes aren’t responding, but the buttons are, I’m not sure what could have caused that.
Remapping them from the setup screen is straightforward though. I’ll explain the whole process here, it may benefit others.First, make sure that your X-52 is set as the Falcon BMS primary stick (Red box).
Confirm that your roll and pitch axes (Blue box) are now correctly mapped.
Then, check that your throttle (Green box) and rudder (yellow box) are responding.
If any axis isn’t responding, take note of it.
Click on ADVANCEDOn the View Control page (below), if you intend to use the precision slider for field of view (zoom) control, you’ll need to map it here. Note that the axis needs to be reversed.
On the Flight Control page (below), set rudder axis to “Z Rotation - Saitek X52 Flight Controller”, and set Throttle to "Z Axis - Saitek X52 Flight Controller.
On the Avionics control page (below), set Radar Antenna Elevation to “X Rotation - Saitek X52 Flight Controller” and HUD Brightness to “Y Rotation - Saitek X52 Flight Controller”.
And finally, back to the main control setup page, to set the Afterburner and Idle detents on your throttle. Move the throttle forward to it’s AB detent position, and left click the Set AB button, and then move the throttle back to it’s idle detent position and right click on the Set AB button.
That should be it. Let me know if you have issues.

In the original file that I used yesterday those two lines were not in the key file, so I pasted them in, but still do not get any of the shifted functions…When I downloaded your updated files, those two lines appreared in the key file… I tried those, still no shifted functions. I’m using the No TrackIR key file, but to be sure I made sure those two lines were in both key files. Can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks for your efforts, I appreaciate it.
