Ok so you meant the Comm switch… which is what I said and believed at first. I was confused by the use of “IFF switch” …

RE: How do you use the F-16 data link in 4.33?
Dont get used to default keys. Instead get ysed to F-16 controls. The control to start AA DL is depressing the IFF switch outboard for a long press (more than 1 sec)
Uh ?
You mean the IFF next to F-ACK ? Iirc the DEL keybind is “Comm Left”, does that mean IFF == Comm Left or is Comm Left for AA DL is the wrong keybind and was just convenient?
(Bonus question: How do you de-activate it? You depress IFF once more? Didn’t work for Comm Left - long)

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
Ok about the TGL3/4 : Input 16/17 and 18/19 is shown when toggling them, but the associated bind doesn’t show up underneath (either “No function assigned” or it says what the previously bound buttons was bound to).
No madcatz profile selected.
I still have the X/Y Throttle axis bound to Pitch Axis Deadzone / Roll Axis Deadzone. Rudder on Z Axis and Throttle on “Move Up/Down”. I’ll try changing the axis and pressing “OK”.
Edit: Toggles DO work in-game though. They properly change the AP switches.
Edit2: Found the issue with the axis. I loaded a mission with the Throttle selected in the BMS controller, didn’t touch a thing, and the stick wasn’t responding. Did the opposite, with joystick selected in the dropdown menu of the controllers, and only had the stick working … Seems like it’s picking either one or the other depending on the one selected in the menus wtf
Edit 3 : OK it’s all working now… I ended up selecting the joystick as controller in the menu and putting the Y Axis of the Throttle as throttle control… Sweet jesus that game isn’t user-friendly at all -
RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
I may have had the default (empty) Saitek profile loaded when I started BMS or loaded the keyfile for the first time. Cleared it after messing with stuff. Will try again while being assured there’s none when starting BMS.
I’ll update tonight with the exact event when toggling TGL3/4. I know it still displayed the same previous keybind I input just before (typically it was Radar Stby from the TGL2 I had just tested), but I’m not 100% confident it changed the whole message or only the first part.

Controllers work fine in DCS everything is calibrated. TGL3-4 are pressed but don’t trigger anything (AP DEC/INC don’t show up like it should when pressing a keybind corresponding to something).

I haven’t installed the Saitek profile for the nipple/slider (yet). Do they need to be active? I’ll try profiling it anyway just to be sure.
-I’m using the IDS one. I’ll try re-doing the setup from scratch when I get home and will post results here.
Also, what do you mean by not saving anything? Just the keybinds or also the axis? As I understand it they’re independant from your keyfile, and I’d still need to edit the axis (default when keyfile was loaded was Throttle up/down controlled Pitch+Roll and RTY 1 controlled Rudder).

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
Hi,
I’m starting to get into BMS and tried to install your profile yesterday.
The buttons work -for most of them, the Throttle TGL 3 and 4 don’t- but I’m having huge issue with the axis configuration.
First loading I had “Roll/Pitch axis deadzone” bound to the X and Y throttle axis. And as I tried to un-bind them, I stumbled upon 2 issues :
- I can’t just put “keyboard” in the “Throttle - Advanced - Roll/Pitch axis deadzone” option to get rid of the deadzone use with the Throttle. For some reason there needs to be something there. I settled for “Move Up/Down | Left/Right Throttle” as it seems to be assigned to no axis/rotary on the X55 throttle…
- When in game (tried with Landing training mission), the first controller axis I move will be the only one I’m able to use. If I try to throttle up/down, I’m unable to move the aircraft with the joystick, and if I pitch/roll the aircraft, I’m unable to throttle up or down. Buttons all still work though. I can control the aircraft + press throttle’s buttons and vice-versa.
Any idea what’s the issue there?
