DX assignment for x56
-
Hi,
How can I know which DX # is assigned to my throttle or stick?Also, if i decide to split an axis into buttons, e.g. 4 axis to 4 buttons, will each button be assigned a different DX number?
How can i know which number?Dan

Hi,
You can see the button # within BMS Setup Controller page. Just press the buttons on the joystick and note down the numbers. But be aware that the button # in BMS and Windows DX # are different in DX programming. Just add 1 to get the relevant Win DX key # . (i.e. If you see the button # as 1 in BMS you need to add 1 and get (1+1) 2. You need to use number “2” to program the relevant button in the .key file.
For detailed info just check Kolbe’s wonderful “BMS Device Setup Guide” page 112. The guide is located on BMS 4.34/Docs/01 Input Devices/03 Hotas Setup folder.
On another note, check the “pdf” files in my profile package. DX button # of BMS callbacks are written there. Just add +1 as I mentioned and you get the Win DX # s. (I’m also adding the screenshots below.)
Best regards,

Simply no. “Axis” are not keys therefore will not be assigned DX #. The only way to use the Axis as keys is to do it within Logitech/Saitek Profiler and set them as bands. (Even then they will not be assigned DX keys…) You can see an example of it in my X56 4.34 profile package. The “.pr0” file is just for that. To “fake” the thumb axis on the joystick and use the “ends” of the bands as buttons. (I’m adding the screenshot of the profiler window, just to show how.)
Hope that helps, best regards.
