X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
-
Is there an update for this to 4.34.2 that was released in December?
Some of this works but other things don’t. For example, Idle Detent on SW2 of the throttle does nothing. I’m brand new to this mod, having it a couple of days, and I really don’t understand how to edit the keyfile myself as it’s very confusing.
What makes you think that things don’t work? I assume you were referring to trigger detent, and not idle detent ? What else is not functioning and how did you came to that conclusion ?
Keyfile editing … if you really want to go your way try learning to master the included keyfile editor in BMS. -

I (try) to fly exclusively in cockpit mode and the post above mine says that’s the only place it works but it still doesn’t register.
Wheel brakes, Laser Arm On/Off, etc just don’t do anything.
So, I went to the Alternative launcher and redid everything after a few days. Set all keys as the same as the Map Legend.png file and pinky switch still doesn’t work. While it says it’s bound to “DX6 :Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino Stick / STICK: Pinky Switch” it still won’t do anything in game. Even though I have wheelbrakes, for example, set to “DX5 SHFT”.

check DeviceSorting.txt in config folder for device order. what’s the content?
edit: also verify correct usage of the pinky shift command syntax: press the pinky button, press/release desired command, release pinky button……

{22150738-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino Stick”
{A2150738-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino Throttle”
{028E045E-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)”That is the order in my DeviceSorting.txt
And yes, I hold the pinky switch in when hitting the wheelbrake button but they do not engage. So I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing wrong.

try unplugging the xbox
verify “set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256” //config// Falcon BMS.cfg
check your x-55 device buttons work correctly in windows
if that does not help I suggest do a clean re-install and do it all over.
good luck -
Just found this, it looks awesome. Thank you for that work!

First of all: Thank you so much for your profile! It works like a charm.
I have now spend hours in figuring out how to assign the thumb stick on my Logitech X-56 Stick to change views in BMS 4.34. Is there any chance to make that happen? It is shown as axis in the UI - i just can’t figure out how to assign it as a “POV Control” as I don’t have TrackIR.
Any help on this?
Thank you so much guys

You could use Opentrack as it allows you to set it as input there and output TrackIR output back to BMS

beacause the thumb on stick is an axis you cannot assign keys to it. Should work though with saitek programming and assigning “bands” to it.
I would go for trackir, if monney is an issue try searching this forum or the net for cheap alternativescheers
edit feb 2021
TIR died spontanious……served me well for more then 15 years… RIPI bought a delanclip and it works just fine, much better then TIR 4 with reflector.

Thanks guys! I’ll keep getting TrackIR in my mind - I’ll try the Opentrack solution first i guess.
But now I’ve noticed another strange behavior. Couldn’t get my head around first - but now I noticed that the HOTAS is reverting to some “basic mode” everytime I press the pinkyshift button. Afterwards the POV Stick really acts as a POV stick and not as TMS anymore. Everything else stoppes working except for the Throttle and Stick axis. And it’s not revertable ingame.
Is this a known issue?
-
with oentrack you already have the software part for a full TrackIR System. I build IR Track Clip DIY with an PS3 eye cam for an overall price of less than 10€ and functionwise it’s as good as a 170€ TIR5
When using Pinyshift keep in mind to have proper release order release first the shifted key and then the pinky otherwise the button ,hat might be stuck in the shifted layer mode
Example of Opentrack setup which would be using my X65F ministick axis for Pitch and Yaw view movement

perhaps it is a releasing order issue.
you probably release pinkey before releasing the "key’ (whatever it is) . so press pinkey press “key”, then release “key” , release pinky. -
I have a PS3 Cam here - might give that a try, thanks!
I have made another couple of tests: release order is not the problem. Even if i release the buttons specifically in the correct order - it will revert. Even if I just press the pinkyswitch alone. As a matter of fact - I have to restart BMS completely to get my HOTAS to work again. Strange somehow?

Is Pinkyshift callback present twice. It has to be assigned to the unshifted as well as the shifted layer per default DX + 256

ok back to basics. restart windows.
detach any other game controllers then saiteks x56
check windows devices properties of x56 and verify that all buttons work> if not re-install saitek drivers per instructions given
continue if device=oksaitek….make sure no other profile is active in SST, or load the included in my package
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256 verify this in BMS .cfg
check devicesorting to be correct (devicesorting.txt \config )
in BMS reload keyfile (i.e. the x55 one provided in package)
if not sorted re-install BMS. -
Just keep in mind even when using Saitek Stick in pure DX setup you should have at least an empty profile loaded to ensure that the latched function is not selected for the button you use as pinky

Guys, thank you so much for speaking me through this. A reinstallation did the trick - so it seems at least. It’s working again for now.
No I will see what I can do with the PS3 cam or the stick.Thanks!

If you are gonna build your own IR track clip I only can recommend to use OSRAM SHF485P IR Diodes. Use those on mine as the have a beam angle of 80°.
