Hallo Pilots,
I was toying with the MadCatz flight controller (which did not work) and accidentally wiped off the joystick and throttle DSE. I have the MFD 1 and 2. Can anyone give me these 2 missing DSE please?

RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@Diguelo said in X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.:
Its worked since first taking to the air the year the X52 was first made and still works using this method today.
Hello Diguelo,
You seem to have the knack to use profiles made with SST. Can you let me in this secret? I am unable to overcome a problem. -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@GhostDog-0
Are you using SST prog for that? Can you give a bit more details? Have you been able to use these profiles and if yes how? -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@SemlerPDX
How can that be used in flight with DMS-TMS-CMS-NWS STEP and the rest of the modified button responses? Only G, B, D, M, C, K, A among the more important keys can be programmed? You see by now I figured out how to make shifted profiles (with the stupid pinkie button) which are working nicely in the sst window. There got to be a way to make it work in BMS! Thanks for your comment. -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@Diguelo Hello Giguelo,
As you said you were using sst profiles I wonder if you can help. I programmed POV1 UP button as Shift-Np9 and same button with Pinkie as Ctrl-Home. In the sst window it works as intended. However, BMS can see only the second input as 9 or with pinkie as Home without seeing the Shift and Ctrl inputs. Same problem with other profile without pinkie shift. May I ask you to help? -
BMS 4.35 with AL 1.60 does not recognise profiles loaded.
Hi Everyone,
I made profiles in SST all in mode1, right klick the little joystick in bottom right, select a profile, the name of the profile appears on the MFD, in BMS UI button responses are negative, in game the buttons are doing either nothing or something different from the programmed responses and especially the macros do nothing.
I want to use SST and for the time being not interested in other progs. Any suggestions what is wrong and how to make it good? -
RE: New player can get into air in 2 hours.
@NIL
I take your point NIL. I have started just recently after stopped sailing and selected bms as the best, because flying and sailing has the same working principle. However, only lot of practice make good pilot or good sailor. If I get bogged down and study (and bms has a library) instead of flying my start-up may become counterproductive. So in my view you should get into air a.s.a.p. and study on the way. One may not want to start learning what an expert F16 pilot can do but rather want to practice. As an example he can land with 100% certainty under any conditions even without electronics. Anyway, that is why I want to have 4-5 specific profiles and change them in flight instead of immediately begin studying how to have a 4 layer DX binded profile. I have these 5 profiles made but bms does not recognise them. I am asking for help what have I done wrong and how to get good. Thanks for your comment. -
RE: SST programming is fine contrary what I heard, but need a little help to apply for x52pro.
@SemlerPDX
Your ideas are very much appreciated. May be I am too stubborn and I stick with SST for the time being. Thanks for your advice. -
RE: SST programming is fine contrary what I heard, but need a little help to apply for x52pro.
@foxster Thanks for your comment. I might be too stubborn but for the time being I shall stick with SST. You see I asked 2 questions and instead of telling what to do I am told (and I really appreciate somebody spending time on my problem) that forget SST and there is a better software for this or to use DX binding. Great! You are most probably right but I would like to have help how to do what I asked for. I even got reply earlier that he uses the SST and the different profiles he can change on the flight with the clutch button. Vow, this is what I want to do, The action with the i-button is exactly with these words written in the SST UI. However, I asked 2 questions which are not in the UI, how to get to the point, where I can change profiles in flight. I have no intention to give offence to anybody but please help if you can.

New player can get into air in 2 hours.
It might be good for new players who find the first steps in BMS rather difficult. Make a copy of BMB-Full keyfile, select and load it in BMS-UI Controllers page, type e.g. Shift Home, highlight it, hit the desired button (or move the slider to the desired direction) on your controller and you have TMS UP on your button. This button mapping useful for Taxy-Landing-NAV-Dogfight-AIM9-120 and good for limited use in AG bombing. . Make sure the Full-Copy is not wright protected and when finished the mapping hit apply in UI, check that the Keyfile-Copy has all bindings written in (BMS-User-Config and double click Keyfile-Copy, read at the bottom what you mapped). Finally right click Keyfile-Copy-Properties and check (write protected) to prevent overwriting. The keyboard is Hungarian (check on Google).
Depending on your controller’s button number you have to use the keyboard to a certain extent. However, you do have to know that in this way you can not have shifted layers and for shifted layers you have to use a different Keyfile and DX binding or some other programming methode (like SST programming).
N.B. orbit cam is to make sure that you lowered the gear before landing and pinkie button brings back the previous HUD used just as DF cancel brings back the previous (NAV, AA or AG),
Enjoy! -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@Diguelo said in X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.:
My solution is to use the Keypress full keymap, or the Basic map and use the X52 profile software for keypresses outside of the game menu. Assign the keys to the switches in the profile creator works as fast as the DX settings and is far easier to swap around on the fly using the rotary switch, just remember to assign the rotary switch to switch the aircrafts modes. Each setup NAV / AA/ GRND has a keypress to swap modes around and I use the Unlatched i button on the throttle to perform the main switching task once the knob is turned to whatever mode you want.
Hello Diguelo, This answer of yours halped me to have better understanding of the issue. The direct binding buttons are controlled by the profile written in the bms key file. The sst bindings are outside of the bms-keyfile and residing in the sst file. I was trying to force these binding into bms and naturally could not do it.
What I am doing now making different SST profiles with different names and forget about pinkie shift. I SST programmed even the pinkie button and made the following profiles without shifting: Gnd-NAV-Lng, Dogfight, AA-Aim9-120, AG. These 4 profiles contain only keybindings necessary for that profile only. If an AG misson finished and I want to land I have to change over in flight to Gnd-NAV-Lng to land. The change over will be done by the i-button (have to be kept unprogrammed or programmed or just to do the selection with pov1?). This way I can overcome the button number limitation on my x52pro.
As you said I have to assigne the mode selecting swich to select mode 1-2-3.
Question: how to assigne this task ? Up-right click only shows unprog-fallback-bands-directional exes. Now if the 4 profile created and saved in MODE1, I still have to assigne Mode1 to select ? Sorry for this long scribblings. -
SST programming is fine contrary what I heard, but need a little help to apply for x52pro.
Hello Pilots,
It is true that SST is a bit “sensitive” and I’ve experienced difficulties using pinkie shift buttons to make usable profiles. I have loaded BMS-FULL but do not store any key binding inside of it. What I am doing now making different SST profiles with different names and forget about pinkie shift. I SST programmed even the pinkie button and made the following profiles without shifting: Gnd-NAV-Lng, Dogfight, AA-Aim9-120, AG. These 4 profiles contain only keybindings necessary for that profile only. If an AG misson finished and I want to land I have to change over in flight to Gnd-NAV-Lng to land. The change over will be done by the i-button. This way I can overcome the button number limitation on my x52pro.
I understand I have to assigne the mode selecting swich to select mode 1-2-3.

RE: AA radar cursor problem: can not get it back.
Thanks Lorik. I looked up your videos. They are interesting, good work. I think the solution is (I found in a 2020 pubs) to step through the next target in time with msl step sw. Cheers.

AA radar cursor problem: can not get it back.
Greetings,
I have a BMS-Setup-Controllers keymapping on x52pro. I could not handle the ministick on the throttle so I programmed the radar cursor on the throttle hat. Everything works very well: moving the acq easy, bugging and when bandit is close enough finish him with gun or msl, Only have 1 problem: the bandit gets out of mfd-sam page and can not get the cursor back for the next bandit appearing on the screen, The radar cursor zero pagedown does not work, Help would be appreciated. -
RE: Training missions can not be called up
@airtex2019
I was happy too early. I could start by pressing takeoff button. However, I am sitting in a f16 cpt but can not increase speed. I hit orbit cam and see a 2engins turbo ec. It is a pretty gastly situation. -

Hit acceleration, stop and takeoff works. However, the time is not zeroed only changed: Day 2 + some hours and minutes. Thanks for helping me. -

Hello Pilots,
Wanted to practise HMCS. However TMs from 17 to 19 can be selected but after pressing commit the takeoff button is dead. From 1 to 16 are o.k. Help would be appreciated. -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
Hello Diguello, I made a new profile now. I loaded Full key in bms ui and used key responses from Full key to make a profile in sst, saved the profile, pasted it in bms user/config as pro file , pasted the file name to Full Key. Using POV1 loaded the pro file from sst prog into the mfd. Before start checked and all buttons seen on the mfd were correct when pressed. Checked in Full key wordpad and all key responses of my new profile were listed in it at the end. Started the sim as navigation. All single keys (A. G, B) were correct in the fly but all keys with modifiers were missing the modifier and the responses were wrong. What did I do wrong? I delated all shift states with pinky before.

May be you are the pilot who can help me out.
I started making profiles with Joy2Key (see earlier submit). All buttons could be programmed very easily and with a selected button I could surf around within J2K to change to any selected profile. However, I could not get BMS to fully understand the profiles.
Next I worked with SST, made several profiles, on the throttle mfd I could see what button I pressed and the name of the profile what I made. The problem was that POV1 Up and DN were buttons and profiles could be searched with them. But L and R could not be programmed as buttons, they were only as mouse wh. Consequently I could not select profile with pressing POV Right.
The 3rd try was DX button profiling via Keymapping. I quickly made a profile which works very well, but can not make any additional profile to change to.
Actually SST profiling would be best if I can make it work: I could have number of different profiles - change profiles easy during flight - can takeoff and use missiles and gun and continue with AG action and land in the closest airfield - not even have to worry about mode selector swich. But everybody opin that SST is a crap and can not be used. What do you think? -
RE: X52pro DX button profile via Keymapping.
@airtex2019 Thanks Airtax2019 for replying. IMHO that is what I was doing, but may be doing sg wrong. I made this profile when BMS-Full was loaded. This is enough for taxy-takeoff-nav-landing ils/pls. However I wanted to make an other one for AA or AG with BMS-Basic loaded. But it did not work. I either made a mistake or the AL overwrite the new profile in spite of checking Basic’s Read Only when finished new button bindings. When reloaded BMS-Basic the button responses were the same what I binded under BMS-Full loaded. What did I do wrong? Perhaps I should try with BMS-Full-Copy?
