Default X52 Profile (4.34)
-
Just noticed that there is a ‘default’ profile for the X52 that ships with BMS 4.34 which is awesome. It’s very similar to the old profile I was using by KesMonkey which is appealing because I’m slowly remembering my old BMS muscle memory.
Only problem is that the TQS cursor slew isn’t mapped to anything by default and I’d like to map it to either the mini-stick or HAT switch on the throttle.
I’m completely lost as to how to edit this profile, any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers.

You could try mapping the mini stick in control section of BMS. You go to advance section and under Avionic tab, you would see X and Y cursor.
Map those to the mini stick. You might also want to set some deadzone to the axes to control wide movements.Hope this helps.

In X52 Pro I had to see the mini-stick mapping, there was no “change”, unfortunately X52 does not open in my configurator, so I do not see how it looks like8-);

Ok so I actually found the problem regarding the mini-stick and it was actually the only key command assigned through the X52 profiling software.
The problem was that the keys assigned were to the arrow keys and not SHIFT-up/down/left/right. Once I fixed that in the software it looked good in the UI but in the jet the new problem is that the cursor has a ‘runaway’ issue. Meaning when an input is made to the mini-stick the cursor slews in the correct direction but when the mini-stick is re-centered it just keeps slewing in that direction.

I had same problem until I did what is described in post #2 with some dead zone.

Thanks for the help, sadly when I do that there is no mini-stick in the drop down list, only X, Y, Z rotation from the silly rotator knobs, twist grip and mouse wheel. Any ideas why it won’t show up?

Using the profiler programm try to set Ministick Y and X Axis as “Directional Axis” (or something like that, my software comes in italian, but not “Mouse Axis”).
Anyway I’m using latest profiler, that from Logitech (no Madcatz or Saitek). The driver are also from Logitech altough not the latest. -

Lose the twist grip and add the mini-stick as an axis for the controller. That’s a registry hack, but it’s simple and effective.
The basic issue is that windows only recognizes a certain number of axes on a device, so you have to ‘remove’ one (twist rudder) and replace it with another (x/y mini stick).
