New X55 owner, some issues and questions…
-
Just an update, think i have got things going in the right direction. I unplugged the x55 s&t from the powered hub, and put them into the tower directly. I spent 2 hours programming and testing in game last night and everything seemed to work as it should do, all buttons were working and my head tracking didn’t crash. Thanks to all who shared profiles, i got alot of ideas on how to set things up and have my own modified profile now.
Still cant get the large rotary on top of the throttle to work in game, have it reading in the advanced menu no probs, but cant seem to get it right, radar range doesnt change? Need to spend more time on that over the weekend and see… -

The range knob never change radar range It was named this way because of its original purpose, changing range to target in a gunsight mode.
It does change TGP zoom and radar gain in AG mode though.
To change the range with your HOTAS control, just drive the cursor up/down.7
EDIT : and BTW, although the analog axis works properly, the keystrokes callbacks emulating range knob up/down have a bug and do change radar range in AA…… but thats not the intended behavior at all.

I just use the rotary for radar elevation. Programmed it in advanced mode.

Why program it in hud? It works much better in bms setup , just set as axel
Or do you mean rotary in left end of throtle ?
-
I didn’t program the rotaries using HUD but within BMS.

Hi there my friend. I had same issue. I uninstalled saitek pedal drivers i think there was a conflict. All working now.

Guys, still making good progress on the profile programming, have started a brand new one today, but cannot get the silver rotary on the throttle working as the mouse zoom, can anyone help on how to do this?

I have the pinky silver rotary programmed for zoom In/Out. Not at my computer now. When I get a chance, I can post it…if someone else does not post first.
-
I have mapped it as zoom too, silver rotary is actually just button

Can you help Drac? Still having no luck in getting zoom mapped…

Mastersetter - Below is what I have mapped to my Throttle:
FOVDecrease -1 0 0X4F 1 0 0 1 “VIEWGEN: Decrease FOV – Or Mousewheel”
FOVIncrease -1 0 0X47 1 0 0 1 “VIEWGEN: Increase FOV – Or Mousewheel” -
Ok, so do i paste this into the .key file im using?

Copy to your keyfile using notepad and save. Be sure to load the keyfile again (since it has been changed) within BMS.

Thanks, that’s got me sorted now. It doesn’t seem to scroll as well as the mouse does but its not far away
Thanks again.

Yeah…it is not as smooth as using a mouse.
-
I just mapped it in the hotas programming menu as mouse up and mouse down then in bms removed zoom view controls to keyboard. Now it is smooth as butter……
If it helps?

Just an update after using the x 55 for a while now. Plugged both into the motherboard, and im using my own profile in the hud software, with most controls dx in BMS. Everything works as advertised, really is a nice throttle & stick now that i have learned how to get it all setup!
Thanks anyone who sent me profiles and posted advice, much appreciated
-
cool

So now 4 months in do you still like the flight stick? Right now they’re the same price as the x52 and i’ve heard a lot of bad things about the x55. Thanks for the help!
