Ministick on X-56 use?
-
Hey there guys,
Is anyone able to use their ministick on the actual joystick? I’ve dedicated one toggle (the silver one) for viewing around, as I don’t have track IR. I was hoping to change the viewing to the ministick.
Also, in case any of you are experts… I was able to assign RTY 4 to comtrol my altimeter, but can find no recognition in the game for RTY 3 or for the F and G rotary knobs.

I have the X56, but I’m using head tracking… the stick/throttle has ample buttons and switches for the Viper. I do use the push-in of the Ministick on the SSC as the slap button for CMS. You could look into Joystick Gremlin to assign that stick into a virtual controller. Someone more learned than I would help you with that…

Thanks Quasi_Stellar… I’ll go take a look at that.

When the X-56 came out, Logitech bought Saitek who is the original designer/manufacturer. Look in the Saitek forum, you may find help there. Snelle (and others), I believe, created a BMS DX profile, fix for the mini-stick, and advice on the slider for the X-56. I must stand and salute Snelle for helping a grunt with his X-55 out of HOTAS hell.
There is a lot of people to salute around here, isn’t there? Good Luck.

Bruzzer,
There are a few other possibilities. One is the BMS Alternate Launcher. In my x-65 days, I was never able to get the microstick to work with axis(s) but that was before AL . Secondly,you can set the microstick to banded function via SST. I’m not at home to check, but that’s an option if your desired view functions have key commands. Thirdly, I was able to get my Warthog’s second pov hat to work using Voice Attack. Perhaps it would help with your-56 as well. -

Is the X56 one device or 2 sperate devices?
