X52 Rotary Problems
-
I just noticed that my X and Y rotaries are not working correctly. I am using a DX profile, and am trying to use the rotaries for antenna tilt and range knob. The rotaries look like they are working correctly in various out-of-game setups, but in BMS, they are “all or nothing” from one extreme end to the other. In other words, my AA radar will point at the ground or straight up in the sky, can’t get it to point straight. I see the same in the stock setup and the alternate launcher as well. I’d blame a physical problem, but as I said, everything is looking like it is moving correctly in other setup screens. Searched the forums but can’t find an answer… Any ideas?
Thanks… -
Hello pilot, we recommend that you use this tool from our colleague (chihirobelmo), there you can configure everything more easily, only for the hotas saitek X-52 with its predefined program is that the ministick is activated to use it as a radar cursor, the rest is configured and assigned by the Falcon Alernative Launcher.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think it’s a regular configuration issue. The rotary axis are mapping to the correct functions. Also, the “properties” setup of the device shows a smooth slide. It’s just that the rotaries are acting as on/off in BMS instead of actually working like an axis. The travel is not working, I can’t get them to stay in the middle of the band…

Wanted to verify that you set your axes in THIS screen, under Setup > Controller > Advanced > Avionics Control
Might be redundant to ask, just troubleshooting…
Falcon Alternative Launcher is very cool, but is not really needed for this kind of thing, especially if you’ve already taken the time to get a working DX profile setup. After that, you should be able to map your axes on this screen:
