Greetings Pilots , for weeks now I have been struggling with finding a working profile for my beloved X45. Alas I had to call no joy. True , while we can still somewhat fly with the hotas , it’s function and efficiency are greatly diminished by the lack of a proper profile. Our X45’s remain a very capable Hota as I recall from my days of flying Open Falcon. However , in today’s environment , and all the excellent work the BMS devs has put in to our Falon 4.0, the community support for the X45 has fallen to the wayside,
It is my intention to change that. I’m searching for a small team of X45 pilots to assist with the programming of a new and very capable profile . In this post I will toss out a few ideas for the direction I would like to see the profile development to tak.
The X45 has a mode selector, so I’ll start there. Keep in mind I’ve already begun some work on this profile.
Mode selector :
Mode 1 = Navigation : In this mode all things Navigation related will be stored
IE, radio setup , Nose Wheel steering , Toe brakes{ for those without rudders}, Speed brake toggle…
Mode 2 = Air to Air : In this mode all things relative to A-A combat will be programmed , This will be determined by the team as I do not possess the knowledge of all the function that is needed by our pilot .
Mode 3 = Air to Ground : In this mode , all A-G functions. Again this will be team effort to find and employ the most used and useful functions of A-G combat.
I intend this to be a basic function profile without the use DX commands as the SST software does not play nice with the software.
Speaking of software , this is what I’m currently using and have found to be the most stable in a Windows 11 environment : Driver
Saitek 6.0.4.1
SST software : Version 6.0.10.7
Each should be installed in windows 7 compatibility mode.
all drivers and software can be found by downloading Filezilla and connecting to ftp.saitke.com on port 21.
I truly hope I can get some X45 pilots and those well versed in the world of FalconBMS that can provide direction and guidance in the development of this very detailed profile.
If you are interested in assisting with this project, Please contact me through this thread or DM me on the Falcon Lounge Discord .
Together we will make out beloved X45 capable and relevant once more.
