Saitek X-52 Profile
-
Thanks again KesMonkey. I had never flown Falcon 4 before , and was getting seriously frustrated creating a profile for this. Once I downloaded your profile, it only took a couple hours to get used to it. Really appreciate it!

Question/Problem - I can get the radar cursor to work perfectly in AA mode. Last couple hours I’ve been training for AG, and the radar cursor doesn’t work in AG mode. The FCR is SOI. Doesn’t make any sense. Any idea what would cause this? Radar cursor works in AA mode, but not AG mode?
Thanks!

Press SP-osb,then tms-up once.That should do it.Use tms-up to lock targets and tms down to unlock.
Thanks again for the profile,works really well for me.KS

Yes, “useless” might be too hard! I meant “useless for me”. I’ve updated only the Saitek Software, not the drivers. I’ll update the drivers and let u know. After uploading the profile into my Saitek profiler do I need to put manually all the keys through Saitek Profile editor? I’m using Saitek X52 non pro version.

No, you need to put the provided key file inside your <falcon bms=“” folder=“”>\user\config folder as per instructions in the first post, load the keyfile using bms setup/controllers option and you should be good to go.</falcon>

Update the drivers. The same! I put the provided key file (BMS Saitek X-52.key) in the config folder. I see them uploaded in the game setup menu. I put the provided Falcon BMS X-52.pr0 file into Saitek profile folder but when I open it with profile editor nothing is mapped on the buttons. I’m using Track IR. Something is wrong and can’t figure out what!

Is it not working when you fly? As said before, only a very few mappings are done using saitek software, and that should be why you´re not seeing then when you check the profile using the editor. Start the game, make sure the profile is loaded before entering the sim and check if the button assignments are correct…for example, press the pickle button and see if it appears to be correctly mapped to the pickle weapon button.

How do I change the L mapping from Glance forward to, Look Closer?
You can remap it from Falcon’s control setup screen. If you’re not sure how to do that, let me know.

After trying for so many times to input your profile I came to the conclusion it’s just useless. It just doesn’t work. I’ve tried in so many different ways to get it going but no success. I really don’t know what’s wrong. Loading your BMS profile to my Saitek profiler doesn’t give anything mapped except 2 functions as far as I remember. I’ve read all the posts here but still no improvement.
Sorry that you can’t get it to work, but the profile definitely works (providing you follow the instructions in the first post precisely, of course). Yeah, the profile for the Saitek SST software only maps a couple of functions that couldn’t be mapped natively within the game. I’d have preffered not to have to include an SST profile at all, and have it all done by the key file, but this simply wasn’t possible. If you’ve read the instructions thoroughly, and followed them precisely, it should work. I really can’t think of anything it could be.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
And, a really big thank you to nomis for offering tech support while I was out having a few drinks. Friend request incoming mate! -
No problem buddy. “A few drinks” sounds fair…we deserve it
Friendship request accepted. Thanks!! -
Finally got it! It works. The problem was another joystick that was connected to my computer! Stupid me! I’ve should had figured it out earlier! Thanks anyway for your quick replies!

No, but you can free up a button fairly easily. I’d recommend unmapping the mouse wheel click (Radar standby & GM radar snowplow toggle), as these functions aren’t found on the real HOTAS anyway. Use wordpad to open whichever keyfile you use (BMS Saitek X-52.key or No TrackIR BMS Saitek X-52.key). You’ll see a list of all the keymappings. Near the bottom of the list, you’ll find the following two lines: SimRadarStandby 31 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 and SimRadarSnowplow 287 -1 -2 0 0x0 0. Delete both of those lines and save. Now, just map the mouse wheel click within TeamSpeak and you’re done.
Excuse the Noob question, I kind of have an Idea of how the mapping works, but what I can’t still grasp is how do I would know what number (in this case the 31 after SimRadarStandby) goes to what button on the joystick? (I am used to create the profiles from within the saitek editor but seems that these way works better…)
Great work on the profile by the way!!
Thanks

Still one question: where’s the button for dropping chaff and flares? Or it’s not mapped?

cms-up = programs 1-4 chaff/flares (hat-2 on stick with pinky held more than 0,5sec)
cms-left = chaff (hat-2 on stick with pinky held more than 0,5sec)
cms-down = ecm on (hat-2 on stick with pinky held more than 0,5sec)
cms-right = ecm off (hat-2 on stick with pinky held more than 0,5sec)
slap-switch = flare (fire d on the throttle with pinky held more than 0,5sec)Kalle

Ok I figured that out. Ok now I’m trying to setup a key for Team Speak that isn’t being used, I was using Scroll lock but that seems to be warning light ack now. Is there any way to map say the IFF in or OUT on the HAT switch to something else that isn’t in use so I can map that for a push to talk key in TS? Thanks.

Hey guys. I guess I’m just an incompetent boob, but I just can’t get this profile to work. After perusing all eleven pages of this thread I still can’t put my finger on what I’m doing wrong. I downloaded the most recent update from mediafire yesterday, and have made sure I have the most current Saitek drivers and software. I unzipped the folder and placed the No TrackIR key file, BMS Saitek X-52.key (I hope the wife is getting me TIR5 for Christmas), axismapping.dat, and joystick.cal in the config folder. Then I placed the falcon BMS X-52.pr0 file in my profile directory and loaded it. Once I booted up BMS I loaded the No TIR X-52 key file but no matter which button I push on the stick or throttle none of them are associated with any command. I loaded the other Saitek X-52 key file, but still no luck. The only two commands that function are the radar range on the scroll wheel, and the radar cursor, which I know are done via the Saitek profile. I had to assign each axis manually as well, but that wasn’t that big of a chore. The only two things I haven’t done per the instructions is disable the clutch button, or enter the two lines for the pinkie switch in the config file (not a boycott of those instructions, just neglected to do them). Neither of which I would think would hinder the non shifted functions from working on the stick.
Also, just for information the only other peripheral I have connected to my PC are my CH Pro Pedals.
If I have time tonight I will reload the key files again for the third time and see what happens. I’ll also make sure to disable the clutch and insert the pinky switch lines this time. I’m expecting no joy however.
Any ideas? Thanks.

From the Falcon BMS setup screen, you can click any button on your joystick, and the button number will display on screen. The thing is though, that Falcon BMS numbers the buttons from 1-32, but DirectX assigns the ID numbers 0-31. So, the Trigger First Detent is button 0 as far as DirectX is concerned, but to Falcon BMS, it’s button 1.
Cheers.
