All, new to the forum and new to BMS. I recently got an X55 from a coworker for $20 and I’m trying to get back into Falcon 4.0/Falcon BMS. I’m running 4.37 and using the launcher to setup the controls. I am having a problem with the pinky shift. In the launcher I see only STICK: PINKY SWITCH. There’s no DX SHIFT. I just can’t figure out how to get the pinky shift working. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, my bad…it was Snelle that originally had the files and docs for the X55. That’s where I got the registry info. -

I was able to test it and the DX SHIFT is working properly now.I cannot seem to get the little mini stick to work on the X55. I was reading through the X55 setup documentation you shared and found a section on editing the registry I believe to make the mini stick work. I know how to get into the registry and can get to this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VI
D_0738&PID_A215Just not sure what to do from there to add the info below. Can you walk me through that? Do I right click and create new key or sting value, etc.?
Ministick/Mouse Registry Fix (X55-only).
All this fix does is adding these lines to your (windows) registry to make the mini stick
assignable in BMS UI (or other sims). This fix has been tested with windows 7/8/10.
Despite it is a very small change to your registry which can do no harm, I always advise
to make a backup of the registry before applying.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VI

I think I figured it out from another thread I came across that you posted some time back. I edited the “BMS - Auto.key” file. When I opened it I only saw the line:SimPinkySwitch -1 0 0x2F 0 0 0 1 “STICK: PINKY SWITCH”
I replaced that line with:
SimHotasPinkyShift -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “STICK: PINKY SWITCH (DX SHIFT)”
Now I see (DX SHIFT)…I haven’t tried mapping it to anything yet but I’ll try it later today.
