Saitek X-52 Profile
-
•With these keyfiles, Radar Cursor control is mapped to the default keys, which are F8 (up), F9 (down), F10 (left), and F11 (right).
•This may unfortunately cause conflict with your TrackIR keys. Simply remap your TrackIR keys, if needed.Cheers!

Has anybody transformed this profile into an X52 PRO one? I could really use it.
Thanks!

MikeSo, i disable trackir program and run bms .
this time none of the radar cursor were moving and also i notice that not all buttons do something and some buttons has the same funcions in other modes or with pinckyswitch …
ideas? -
Sounds like your profiles are confused…has happened to me before. Reload the profile for saitek, start bms and reload the profile there. Check your throttle, and all other axis settings and save. should be good to go.
Cheers!

Hi Svend!
Did you do this:
To access the shifted functions, you’ll need to add the following two lines :
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256
set g_nHotasShiftQuickPressTimeLimit 500to falcon bms.cfg in \Falcon BMS\User\Config using wordpad/other.
If you do this it will work!
Keep us posted and let me know if we can help.
Regards!

Hi Mate,
Thx alot for reply. Yes mate did eveything in post 1 to the letter - the line was copy to the “F4Patch Settings” section at the top (just checked it and it`s there). Should I keybind the pinky in the controll obtions to HOTAS Pinky Switch?, because I did.
All non shift commands on joystick are working, but as sune I activate the pinky (only pinky), my left MFD change to EXP view (Obs3 plashing) if soi and same goes for right MFD (HSD) if it is soi it goes to EXP mode, hmm
Any idea?
Kind regards

Hi mate
Strange indeed. Icheck my own cfg file and turns out that my “set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256” is placed under MISC SETTINGS and I don’t even have “set g_nHotasShiftQuickPressTimeLimit 500” on tge CFG file and everythings works
Even so what’s strange is that MFD change of yours when your press the pinky…
Besides loading the profile on the saitek software, did you copy the KEY files ?
Drop the files named BMS Saitek X-52.key, axismapping.dat, and joystick.cal in to your \Falcon BMS\User\Config folder.
You could also try unbinding the pinky, recopy the files as above and load the profile.
Let me know how it turned out!

Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve loaded the x-52 profile, and I can confirm via the controller I’m using “Falcon BMS X-52”. Also using TrackIR.
I go to bring up the TE AIM-120, for a little practice with that missile. My first target is the MiG-29. Bring up the FCR, and then TWS. Within about 17 miles, I can get TMS-UP lock, (after selecting it a few times). I can fire off the first AIM-120 just fine. I then head over to the MiG-25, which is about 20 miles out. I select TMS-right, and sometimes I can get a lock. But once I fire another AIM-120, it launches out for a 1/2 mile, and then starts to head over to the MiG-29 that I first engaged. This has happened everytime.
On other flights, in this AIM-120 TE, I’ve waited for the first MiG-29 to be confirmed killed, then head over to the MiG-25. I go through having my FCR in TWS, and once I’m within 20 miles or less, I try the TMS-UP, and can never get a lock. No matter how hard I try, clicking the POV2 up, to try and TMS-UP, nothing!
I’m using the keyboard map that Kes also included. And the keyboard show nothing set for the TMS’s via the keyboard. I can confirm also in the setup, that I get TMS-UP when I click on the POV2 up, and TMS-Right, when I click on the POV2 right.
This whole TMS up is really frustrating. No matter how much I try, in other flights (like the campaign), it’s so hard for it to work. not sure what I’m doing wrong.
everything else on this profile & keyboard mapping works as advertised. It’s just this d*mned TMS (up/right) giving me fits. If I click TMS down, and see the FCR go to RWS… Once I engage the first target with TMS UP, and never engage any others through the remainder of the flight. No TMS right, No TMS up, (when I see a second target)… Nothing…
any suggestions?
TIA,
-jav
as a ps. I’ve seen this question come up, with regards to the TMS. I’m currently seeing around 48FPS in the AIM-120 TE.

Hi GuGas,
I just vent through the whole setup again - all fils replaced with and without the “set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256” and “set g_nHotasShiftQuickPressTimeLimit 500” in cfg and tested with only one of these and then with every combination. Then I tested without binding the pinky, which was no go (pinky no function). I then binded the pinky ingame and guess what - when activating the pinky my MFD goes in EXP Mode, no change.
When i activate my pinky again it goes to “Norm Mode”. Can some one tell me, why do my pinky activate my OBS 3 on the MFD
s when it
s assinged ingame as HOTAS Pinky - my SST profil is loaded.This beats me
Kind regards
SvendEDIT: When right clicking in profile editor the pinkie swicht is set to fall back is this correct?
-
Hi mate!
The pinky acting as NORM/EXP mode on the MFD is normal when you just press it and is part of the profile. That’s ok so no worries there. We now need to know why pressing pinky+other button doesn’t work.
I’ve check my config and here’s what I noticed:
Ingame - Pinky not binded to any command - on the joystick “lights” when you go into setup they keys, S6 lights up but no binding appearing
So I would first recomend not binding the pinky. I know you’ve done this but just make sure its not binded.
Another way would be to load the keystrokes file, save and exit BMS. Then enter again and load the BMS Saitek X52 Profile. Just to make sure it’s overriden.
Unless it’s here the problem, maybe a problem with the profile file. I can send you mine if you to just for cross-checking.
Btw, what version of the Saitek Software are you using? When you go into profile editor and opens a windows with a picture of the joytick, check bottom left corner. mine reads 6.0.4.1
We’ll sort it out.
Regards

Hi again Mate,
Some good help there thank you. Just a little question. How can I ingame unbind a key the easy way? Have forgotten how to do that I will test what you suggested.
By the way my the version of the profile editor is same as your`s 6.0.4.1
EDIT:
New info. I loaded the keystroke fil save and apply, then ok exit the sim, loaded the SST profile, booted the sim up and vent to controll options. Activate pinky, S6 lights up (assigned), vent into the sim pressed pinkey (hold it) at the same time pressed A-A hard points - no shift functions happend. A-A hard points + pinky should toggle the master arm, which it didnt. Another thing that
s odd is, when I press the A-A hard points (with out pinky) the button do what it have to do, but when pressed again I cant exit out of the mode - I need to mouse click the A-A on the ICP to go back to NAV mode.I then loaded the keystroke fil, save apply ok and exit the sim. Replaced the BMS Saitek X52 key fil. Booted the sim loaded the key fil save and apply. I then assigned the A-A button on joystick, save, apply and ok, exit the sim (SST profile still loaded). Vent into the sim pressed the A-A hard point button on joystick . same happend as above. This time the pinky wasn
s assigned. That
s where Im now. I cant rule out that it could be the SST profile, but that`s odd. because I just re downloaded it to test with another and new download. So without pinky assigned ingame no shift function happen eigther, when pinky pressed.Send me the your SST profile and lets se what happens
Kind regards

Thx for the fil mate. No go. Loaded your SST profile and then the sim (no pinky assigned) no shift function. Then unloaded the profile, loaded the sim assigned the pinky ingame button 38, save apply ok. Exit the sim loaded the SST profile, loaded the sim - no change. I even tried to assign a key “Delete” to se if that would execute a shift function, but it didn`t.
This is a tuff one to nail down. If use the pinky on joystick in IL2 as bomb relese it
s working (pinky is working as a button), which I also se when it
s assigned. Hmm what now Im out of ideas other than make a shift function in the SST profile, but I cant find that choice/option, when right click pinkie switch.Im open for other ideas
Kind regards

Re-Install BMS? Maybe a corrupted file of some sort…I don’t know…a tuff one indeed…
Even yesterday I had to do a full re-install because of a new theater and used same profile and worked great.
If it’s not too bother do a reinstall. Ran out of ideas
**EDIT: LAST TRY: download this http://temp-share.com/show/HKdPE81yA and drop it inside C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Config.
Then load this keystoke file and do not bind anything else. Just load it together with the profile I sent before.
If no go…. then reinstall or bang your head on the keyboard :)**

Np to do a reinstall at all, easy done May I ask which theater you installed - my self, I have the Balkan and IT installed. Can a new installed theater make problem like that?
