Flounder's X52 Pro Keyfile/DX Profile for BMS 4.33
-
Ruy: the shift functions may still work even though they do not show up on the controller screen. It is the same way for me. Enter BMS and try it in flight.

Correct. You won’t see them ‘working’ in the controller setup UI, but they will still work in game (assuming they are in fact working).

Many thanks ckelly14 and Agave! You were 100% correct. The shift function works fine within BMS flight. I can’t believe I didn’t think to try it there……duh. Maybe there is such a thing as being too methodical. I did mention I was committing to understanding and setting up my HOTAS properly before I even attempted flying but it just shows you that one can be a bit too rigid in those things. Now back to my nose in the manuals with a little flying (or crashing) here and there to keep the blood flowing!

Hey can someone please help me. I have watched the youtube vid and seem to be installing everything right but nothing is showing up in the Saitek software editor and apart from controlling the plane with the stick and throttle only a few other buttons seem to work T5 works for landing gear I can move the range with the throttle scroll wheel and some others. I have discord and teamspeak I’m a noob with them too but if I could get any help on this it would be great. I played Allied Force with a simple cheap joystick but now have the HOTAS and head tracking and BMS 4.33 U5 my driver and software are the new Logitech ones for windows 10. Any help to get me set up and flying would be awesome and I am willing to join a online group to do training with as well.

Do you have any other devices beside the X52 Pro and TrackIR? For example, rudders, MFD’s, a G13 type keypad, another controller, etc.?
If yes, one of the most common problems is device order. Find the file x:\……\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\User\Config\DeviceSorting.txt . Open that file with Notepad or any plain text editor. Make sure the X-52 Pro is the first device in the list.
Also … just checking … you’re using the X-52 Pro, right? The regular X-52 has different buttons/button numbering than the pro version.

where is the wheel brake

used the no trackir keyfile but there is no wheel brakes

Heheheheheeeeeeeee…, I have it set up

If you used the keyfile code in this post: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23661-Flounder-s-X52-Pro-Keyfile-DX-Profile-for-BMS-4-33&p=349137&viewfull=1#post349137
The wheel brakes are mapped as Pinky + Second Trigger Detent. It shows in the keyfile code:
….
#==================================================================================
SimDoNothing -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 -2 “========= HOTAS SHIFTED =========”
SimWheelBrakes 256 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1……
Are you having problems with any other shifted functions? Are you trying the shift functions in-game or in the UI? They won’t show properly in the UI and need to be tested/tried in-game.

Thanks for your help. Everything is good to go.

Hi,
I need help regarding no TIR and 4/8 switch POV. I have tried to search the forum, but it is difficult to build a right search string without getting everything else for this particular issue. Please lead me to the right thread, as I am sure, that it can be me only having this issue with X52 pro
I have installed Flounder’s no TIR (I take the occasion and thank you Flounder and all others for your support) for my son. Although I have TIR, but my son would prefer to fly without. When I first flew the previous Falcon’s like v3, there was only POV. So I need to accept my son’s request. TIR is too much with all the other staff for the beginning.
The issue is that when you change your view and start moving your head in the major direction like i.e. right, your head starts to move and then while doing that you move the hat a little bit more up (middle position in between up and right) then it stops until your hat gets to the up position. Thus this makes the move of the head difficult to operate. Similarly in other directions. You can only move it in the four major directions. On thee ones in between it stops.
I have tried to switch to 8 and back to 4 key pov in the SST, but this those not make any changes in the way it works. I finally changed in the SST from unprogrammed to buttons and mapped in SST all of the directions there with key presses and key releases. It works when all of the 8 keys are programmed. Unfortunately there is a 0,5s delay when you start to move your head. This makes hard, when you want to make small head movements, but it is the best I could get to work it now and I am simply wondering if there is something I can do to improve it.

Not 100% sure this will help, but you can try it pretty easily, I think.
In the original keyfile, find these lines. They should be about 30 line from the bottom, just above the line “SimDoNothing -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 -2 “========= HOTAS SHIFTED =========””:
OTWViewUp 0 -1 -3 0 0x0 -1
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 1 0x0 -1
OTWViewRight 0 -1 -3 2 0x0 -1
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 3 0x0 -1
OTWViewDown 0 -1 -3 4 0x0 -1
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 5 0x0 -1
OTWViewLeft 0 -1 -3 6 0x0 -1
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 7 0x0 -1
#=============================Replace them with:
OTWViewUp 0 -1 -3 0 0x0 -1
OTWViewUpRight 0 -1 -3 1 0x0 -1
OTWViewRight 0 -1 -3 2 0x0 -1
OTWViewDownRight 0 -1 -3 3 0x0 -1
OTWViewDown 0 -1 -3 4 0x0 -1
OTWViewDownLeft 0 -1 -3 5 0x0 -1
OTWViewLeft 0 -1 -3 6 0x0 -1
OTWViewUpLeft 0 -1 -3 7 0x0 -1
#=============================You can use Notepad or any plain text editor to copy and paste the above into the original key file. You should NOT have any SST instructions on the POV hat when you try to use/do this.

Thank you Agave_Blue. We were able to implement your proposal on the X52pro and it works fine. Thanks to that you remembered me how to revise the DX buttons, we have made additional changes also. We moved missile step and the stores config from fire B to C and added padlock to fire B. A little bit like beginning of F4 or even F3. And now the combat improved. That is the drawback for not using TIR, but improves the limitations of small monitor view and works great. Now its more, more fun as my son says.

Good evening. Something incomprehensible has happened as I press the pink button, all HOTAS functions stop working. I reinstalled the drivers (version 7.0.53.6) and FALCON 4.33 U5 is still the error (Flounder X52 Pro v5; Flounder X52 Pro v5 - Full; Flounder x52 Pro v5.pr0), I have no idea what the reason is, I tried everything. I am asking for some “golden” suggestions.

Only thing I can think is check this: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23661-Flounder-s-X52-Pro-Keyfile-DX-Profile-for-BMS-4-33&p=347639&viewfull=1#post347639
‘Clutch Mode’ has to de-selected.
Also, in the SST pr0 file, check and see if the pinky switch somehow got set to ‘latched’. If so, change it to ‘fallback’.

That’s how it looks:
-
Looks OK as far as I can tell.
Everything was working OK before? You don’t recall making any change to the keyfile or setup? Adding any new devices (rudders, mfds)?

“…Everything was working OK before? You don’t recall making any change to the keyfile or setup? Adding any new devices (rudders, mfds)?” - I did not do these maneuvers, only the latest NVIDIA drivers. Previously, Your files did not cause any problems.
