This works if u use e.g. Track-IR (because of the coolie hat) and with the keystroke.key file.
U only have to copy and paste it at/after the end of that stock keystroke.key file…
Remember that BMS starts the buttons at 0, where DX starts at button 1, meaning your button 1 is button 0 in BMS. And make first a backup copy of the stock keystroke.key file.HTH

With all due respect, this profile uses buttons for commands that have limited usefulness, which is unfortunate for a T.Flight HOTAS X, as that HOTAS offers fewer buttons than more expensive HOTAS.
Explanation :
SimNextAAWeapon serves no real purpose, as the SimMissileStep command in the same profile already enables the pilot to select another A/A weapon (by a long press instead of a short one).
SimToggleMissileBoreSlave may be replaced by SimCursorEnable, so that the same button will also enable to select Maverick acquisition modes or HARM acquisition options.
SimFuelDump is not quite realistic, as there is no fuel dump in the real F-16, and there’s no need to dump fuel anyway during a mission, or even to land. It’s only useful for 1vs1 dogfights (if your opponent allows it).
Finally, when does one really use SimDMSup in Falcon 4 ?Some other commands used in the profile are debatable, but as it comes to a matter of opinion regarding those last ones I will not discuss them. But the four commands above could be changed to make the profile more efficient.

Not all of the buttons did fit and some moved from stick to throttle but it does the job well i think. I took “BMS_Keystrokes_Ver_1_6_Basic” as basis and worked from there. Changed some non HOTAS buttons to my liking also. I can send the whole profile if any one wants. Just post this thread.
In order to find the button numbers from the profile add one to the first number on the left. Like pinky switch is button number 3 on stick and so. Shifted buttons start from 256 which is button 1 while pinky switch is also pushed. 257 is 2, 258 is 3 and so on. Except TMS switches which are pinky switch + HAT switch. -
I do not have a profile, but I will show some pics here, and hope it helps someone…
