Saitek Profile and DX files
-
Hi
What is the relationship with binding the DX buttons to Hotas and the saitek profile.
Does the profile on the mad cats software need to be adjusted with each change in the dx file.Trying to swap POV functions with trim functions. Cockpit views pan wildly on single click of POV view .
Thx -

ThxIt’s a “either or” thing. Either set/program keypresses in the Saitek software, OR create a keyfile that directly assigns BMS binds to the DX assignment of your Saitek button(s).
For the HAT’s, you can do everything in the keyfile, but for things like transforming the mouse cursor mini-stick into something the sim can use, you have to get into the Saitek programming software and set them there (using the actual keypresses that BMS expects for whatever you are doing, such as Radar cursor).
If you don’t use a custom keyfile, you could use some default keyboard key file, and then use the Saitek programming software to bind each keyboard keypress to a joystick button. The drawback is that this Saitek/madcatz/logitech software is terrible, it hasn’t been properly updated in over a decade, and can have unexpected behavior or bugs at times. This is why I personally use it only to get the mini-stick in ‘bands’ to behave like pressing keys on my keyboard at it’s cardinal directions, and the slider on the throttle to work as my Speed Brake, too. That’s as far as I trust it to work well, everything else comes from keyfiles.
As long as you only use one (either Saitek programming profile, OR a BMS keybinds file for each button) you should be fine.

ThxHi, Sid,
If I may make a suggestion, download the BMS Alternate Launcher and you will be real happy. Back in the x-65 days, I went from 99% SST to about 1% after getting AL. BTW, AL uses the BMS_Full keyfile
