Hi sorry to be a pain I have a few questions if I may
1. How can I turn the sensitivity of the mini stick down its fast when I slew the curser on the FCR etc
2. Can I remap the Win amp controls as I will never use them
3. I read that the slap swicth is meant for counter measureā¦well when I press it I get a chaff/flare but none come out the only time they come out is if I press Hotas CMS Forward why is that?
P.S
I use the none track IR profile at the moment though this Tuesday I should have TrackIr 5
Thanks

The latest Saitek drivers from Mad Catz didnāt work for me, I had to downgrade. I also had MFD issues with my X-52 using the latest drivers. My MFD would only show half the profile name. Iām currently using the latest programming software but version 6.xxx something of the drivers, sorry I donāt remember which ones. The Saitek FTP has the older drivers. There are some youtube videos discussing the MFD issues and the older drivers.
After using the version 6 drivers, my MFD on my throttle body displays the words correctly, the profiler works. Hope this helps someone else.
FTP site: ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/
I have the same problems with the newest drivers. I have side effects like
- MFD flicker extrem
- freezing screen/pc
- teamspeak doesnt work anymore
- right mouse button doesnt work anymore
- some other problems
I found then this old drivers and software:
Win7 64Bit
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/Saitek_X52_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/SST_Software_64_6_6_6_9.exeAnd with them, it seems to be fine.
Another user found this drivers too:
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/X52.zip is the software I think
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/x52_151205_32.exe is 32 bit drivers I think
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/x52_151205_64.exe is the 64 bit drivers I think- I created then a new profile for the x-52 with the same key bindings.
- Because my pinky switch doesnt work, i have to remove within the new x52 profile alle other columns.
- I modified my keystroke.key because in the BMS Saitek X-52.key is no Thrustmaster MFDs implemented. The Trustmaster MFDs take
the first joystick ID-0. The X52 get the last one. Therefore the directX Keys from the X52 start at position 64.
Example: The original author use this keys:
SimTriggerFirstDetent 0 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPickle 1 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimNextAAWeapon 2 1013 -2 0 0x0 0
SimNextAGWeapon 3 1014 -2 0 0x0 0
SimMissileStep 4 1072 -2 0 0x0 0
SimHotasPinkyShift 5 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
ā¦ā¦With my Thrustmaster MFDs i have to start like this:
SimTriggerFirstDetent 64 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPickle 65 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimNextAAWeapon 66 1013 -2 0 0x0 0
SimNextAGWeapon 67 1014 -2 0 0x0 0
SimMissileStep 68 1072 -2 0 0x0 0
SimHotasPinkyShift 69 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
ā¦In the falcon setup i configured then everything. --> field of view, Radar Antenna, ā¦ Throttle, ā¦
I hope i helps other users with similar problems. If someone want to see my alpha keystroke file, then you can
download it here:

ummm
just spotted a problem with the hud brightness being assigned to the rotary wheel.
Doing a ramp start you cant get no HUD even turning the wheel does not show the HUD only untill u unasign the wheel and use the actuall one in the 3d cockpit can you get the HUD to go bright.
From a taxi or runway start the HUD brightness wheel works well

Hi again,
Just received my mfds, so im trying to get everything working together. Ive been using this saitek profile, but now that the mfds are plugged in, the profile doesnt work anymore.
Ive noticed that the button numbers associated with each button on the hotas has changed after the mfds were plugged in - theyāve basically been incremented as a result of the 2 mfd panels.
Im not familiar with the keyfile, nor any of the editors. So before i go messing up the keyfile, id like to know what is the simplest way of correcting this?
Should i learn how to edit they keyfile, and create a new profile? If so, should i loom into a keyfile editor?
Thanks,
EDIT: Not sure how I missed this, but marvel_masters post just above explains the same issue, and the solution. So, I basically going to try editing the key file to increment the button positions by 64, as the MFDs has take IDās 1 and 2.

Hey quick question everyone.
The pinkie switch on my x52 is broken. Is there any way to easily change the shift button to something else?
-
In SST? Yeah. Right click on the āshift modifierā line in the SST profile and select a new key.

Hello,
Thanks for great the profile, its really usefull especially as a beginner. Theres only one thing iād like to change, iād like to have the trackir precision button on the mouse button and the recenter function on mouse + pinky. So do i have to create a new callback for the precision function? And if yes, how do i do that? Sry for bothering with you with that basic stuff, i tried to figure it out myself but this is way above me. I am either to inexperienced or to dumb or propably both:wfish: -
The precision command is a TrackIR command. F7 by default. So just make a new SST command that pushes the F7 key and youāll be fine. Make sure F7 doesnāt do anything Falcon or youāll be doing both actions.
-
I thought about that too, but the problem is, that the buttons are already mapped in the key file and i donāt know how to edit that file:oops:
I opened it with excel and deleted the Trackir entries but somehow now my edited keyfile is .txt file I am obviously doing something wrong and its propably something very stupid that would be very easy, but i am kind a lost -
Excel? Open it in notepad (or one of the 3rd party programs like notepad++, notepad2) but really just notepad. In later versions of Windows it likes to hide file extensions of known file types by default.
Windows 7:
Any file explorer window
Organize
Folder and search options
View
Hide extensions for known file typesThen you can rename FILENAME.key.txt to FILENAME.key
You donāt have to text-edit the .key file to remove a keyboard bind however. Just take an already-used bind (like G for Landing Gear) and assign it to the function you want to be blank. Then assign the key G back to landing gear. Falcon wonāt let you bind the same keyboard key to two different functions so the old one is set to blank.
-
Thanks a lot,
I couldnāt find a callback for the precision mode, so i think i will just delete the bindings in the keyfile an bind the keys in SST. -

I had to run the X52 with its control panel open, and pushed off to the side to have the Pinky shift work properly. Donāt ask me why, but that fixed my lack of shift function.

Hi kesmonkey,
Thanks for all this good work. Iām trying to set up a Saitek X52 Pro throttle w/ a HOTAS Warthog stick (yeah, Iām crazyā¦ What I cannot figure out how to do is just enable the mouse functions on the throttle for the radar cursor / range functions as you have done. Iām looking at your files to figure out how this works. Iāve got your Saitek .pro file loaded correctly, there just seems to be something Iām missing in the BMS controller setup screen for linking this functionality to the cursors. Iām hesitant to try applying your whole setup just because I have everything else working for me, and if I could understand this issue, id be better off. Any advice would be helpful; Iāll continue to read my manuals (Romeo Tango Fox Mike Thx!!
