X52 Pro - pinky blocking buttons
-
@SemlerPDX
As i wrote before:- Pinky works on BMS 4.35 and 4.36
Your profile works also in 4.37u2 till I use pinky in 3D. Then in example DMS HAT is working as trimmer - so pinky is locked.
When i use It in Setup/controls It show me S6 button “Stick: Pinky Switch (DX Shift)”
My DeviceSorting is only one device:
{076206A3-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “X52 Professional HOTAS”I use Your profile long time. I fly with It in BMS 4.37u1 and It was ok. After updating to u2 pinky start to lock.
Also i reinstall BMS and Logitech profiler - no luck.I just made video. In 1:30 I use pinky and DMS top working. I steer plane by trimmer.

{076206A3-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “X52 Professional HOTAS”Please review your
falcon bms.cfg
andfalcon bms user.cfg
files … ensure g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude is set to 256 as required by the key file. -
repro confirmed … I also only have 1 device (not an X52) and when I use a hand-managed key file expecting shift-magnitude == 256 … but I have
set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 128
in cfg … which is what AL would append by default when it counts n=1 device … all buttons stop working for me, when I press pinky -
@airtex2019 - thanks Bro for help.
In falcon bms.cfg I oryginally had “set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256”, but falcon bms user.cfg file was empty.
I add “set g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude 256” line and pinky is now working.
But now I have another issue - every time I start BMS i must go to setup and choose X52Pro instead of keyboard, and manually load key file. -
@syringe if you’re going to use a oldschool hand-crafted key file … you have to either avoid the Alt Launcher – or always ensure to select its “don’t apply overrides” checkbox, before launching
also be aware – the Alt Launcher will keep trying to change your g_nHotasPinkyShiftMagnitude back to 128…
once you get things working and stable – I recommend make a backup subfolder (or zip) of everything in your Config folder
-
So it was an issue of the Pinky switch not being seen on the shifted layer. Not the same cause as I stated above, but same consequence

@airtex2019 Thanks! All is working right now!

@airtex2019 Thank you so much for figuring this one out! I felt awful that I ran out of ideas, figured it may have something to do with the new integrated AL, but had no clue where to focus and what to try next. You rock!!

The only thing I could imagine would be a shift magnitude change as this must be exactly as expected by the keyfiles for my Falconeer profile setup to function correctly.
You were the one who figured it out!
also I suspect OP is probably correct that something changed between 4.37.1 and .2… this used to result in “shifted buttons don’t work” now it seems like nondeterministic behavior … sometimes the pinky-shift is stuck on, sometimes entire hotas buttons (shifted and nonshifted) stop responding.
