Saitek X-52PRO Profile UPDATED 3-30-12

Well I just now had found the Dogfight override switch and the missiles fired off… so on to the next step. Thanks

You can see the button assignments in a few ways … in the Falcon controller setup, they should appear when you hit the button (if they are defined to Falcon). If you view the .key file (BMS-HD.key) in notepad, they are listed at the bottom of the file.
They look something like this:
SimWheelBrakes 0 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPickle 1 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimCATSwitch 2 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPinkySwitch 3 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimDropChaff 4 8 -2 0 0x0 0
…
The first number is the button #To file a missile, you need several things: Master arm on, be in DGFT, MSL, or A-A radar mode, and a target locked (otherwise you’ll get a mad-dog). Missile release (pickle) will fire quickly if a heat is selected, it requires a long press to fire a RADAR.

Anyone know what the “range knob” is supposed to do …. doesn’t do anything on mine.

Zoom in/out with TGP for example.

I just want to day a big THANK YOU !
You are the reason HARD~DECK that I just bought a X-52 Pro because I saw that you already figured out everything.
It is real nice I have such a good working profile with all necessary things already set.
Thanks man for the hard work.

Is there somewhere I could get a blank X52 PRo blank picture template? I want to make one with a few changes to the bindings to print out for reference. Thanks
One like this one… thanks Hard~Deck

Maybe this is helping others: When you have more than 1 joystick connected, this profile will not function. I had this problem when connected a Logitech G13 and my new X52 pro. All the mapped buttons are wrong. When I disconnect the other joystick its ok. I am not sure if I can overide this problem, but I think it has something to do when Hard Deck has programmed this without another joystick connected.

My X52 pro seems to “jitter” a radar cursor down occasionally … anyone else notice that, or is my H/W flaky?

That problem has to do with the device ID and the way the BMS handles the DirectX keybinds. There are posts that tell you how to change the key file with the new device ID (as it got shifted with the added joystick. You can get lucky and have some added after the one your using for BMS. Kinda of a bit of luck I suppose. So its not that the joystick doesn’t work but rather that the keybind file needs to be changed.
-
Lost my ps2 cable that connects the stick and throttle together, so waited for new one to arrive. Just got it, so diving in to BMS. First issue is the profile, so thank you for this.

Greet your friend Hard ~ Deck. I have big problem!!! When installed the external screens MFD thrustmaster Cougar lost the settings of BMS HD X 52 profiles??? What can be happening!!! Thanks

Hey guys, i just got this thing up and running today. I updated the drivers, extracted the files, printed out the descriptions, and got in the air. Everything appeared to be working very smoothly but i have stumbled across a strange bug. I beleive that when I use secondary functions using the pinky switch it sometimes causes the controls to freeze. I can still manipulate intruments in the cockpit with the keyboard and mouse, but the joystick and throttle do not accept any kind of input. Also the display on the throttle freezes up at this point. Finally, i can not ctrl alt del, or alt f4 out of the sim. I can exit to desktop, but it gets stuck at a black screen with the small white icon of a little guy parachuting. The only thing i can do to fix it then is to manually shut off my computer.
Final note… this bug happened multiple times tonight, once i believe it was in combination with pinky and fire b. The other i beleive was pinky switch and rotary(gain inc/dec).
Any input would be appreciated.

First, I apologize for the lack of support on my part as I have been dealing with some serious medical issues lately.
It would be impossible for me to really make any sense out of the issues you are having at the moment, but I will advise that a) you have sticky keys turned off on your computer. And b) you have the Enable Clutch Mode box unchecked in the MFD tab of the Saitek Control Panel.
Good Luck.

This exact event happened to me all the time using this profile until I built a new system/computer; since the new puter it’s never happened again. What are your system specs?
-
The radar is associated ministick and does not work when it is actuated downward (F9 cursor down). Any suggestions to fix?
Not work when Trackir is on (keys are configured as HD say). Ministick runs with F9 cursor down when trackir is off
-
Just downloaded profile and working like a charm! Love that radar cursor on mini-stick. But a noob question: Radar range on y-axis, what does it do exactly? to change the range of the radar ie 5-10-20-40-80-160 is controlled by separate control. The radar elevation on x-axis works fine, but “radar range” doesn’t seem to do anything. And also what does the “gain” do? Sorry but don’t know much about finer aspects of radar operation.
-
Gain is contrast in AG master mode as well as TGP zoom.
