First run of the day resulted in the attached crash log.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give the joystick Gremlin a try.

Hi Guys,
We’ve got a problem with the Winwing. There are too many buttons on the Orion for BMS to bind.
In the SimApp Pro (which is appalling) there is a button called 4x32 for “Older” games which includes BMS. If you press the 4x32 button SimApp creates 4 virtual HID devices which you can see on your Device Manager. This means that BMS “sees” four throttles and you can bind buttons from each to map to various functions.
The problem is that this really buggy and when either the throttle driver or BMS relaunches, the virtual throttles get different names. I can see that in the War Thunder control setup. They have prefixes like C2, C4 and C5 and every time I launched, the button number was the same but the prefixes were different and I had to rebind.
I think the only solution is to make an enhancement request for BMS to support 102 key bindings.
A bit disappointing but ultimately fixable.

I agree that the mid range market is pretty poor at the moment. I thought that Logitech entering with the Sitek purchase would be a good thing but they seem to have just changed the sticker on the outside. I’ve just been past the Logitech Gaming web site and there’s nothing new there.
The actions seems to be in the high end with Virpil and VKB. Winwing has the F-18 stick and throttle which might be worth a look if you’ve got the desk space. Right now the best bet seems to be the Virpil but that comes for 850 Euros which (for me) is roughly 3 times the X56.
Still a bit of a work in progress but try this one…
I’ve been disappointed with my X56. I’ve got a lot of Logitech stuff and it’s generally very good. The X56 was dissappointing right out of the box. The joystick has a wobble in the neutral position of a couple of degrees. I had to fix that with a dead spot. There was also one rubber foot missing which meant that the thing is never stable on my desk. There is a knob that is supposed to vary the resistance of the throttle but it never worked.
From a longevity point of view it’s also dissappointing. First up, one of the throttle buttons started to fail. A press would register about 50% of the time. This was after a couple of years of daily use but it was not a button that I used that often. Now the trigger and pinky button are doing the same thing. Very often the action is registered a second of so after the press and sometimes the up action fails leaving the button pressed. That’s really frustrating. Getting a gun solution is hard at the best of times and very often the opportunity is fleeting. When the button sticks down, you are out of ammo very quickly.
In addition to the individual buttons failing, a problem with the stick has emerged. All of the buttons on the stick are now intermitantly failing at the same time. The main axes of the stick still work but none of the buttons do anything. It failure might last from a few seconds to 10 or 15 seconds and can happen 2 - 3 times in a 15 minute period.
From a comsmetic point of view the chrome on the toggle switches started to rub off after about 6 months and the surface of the plastic on the throttle is peeling.I would not recommend an X56 until there is a major new version with a significant improvement in build quality.From a comsmetic point of view the chrome on the toggle switches started to rub off after about 6 months and the surface of the plastic on the throttle is peeling.

I agree that this stick looks good but the lead time is proving to be lengthy. Still not available after a year.
I had to disable “full screen optimisations” in the compatibility tab of the properties of the Falcom BMS executable.
All of the other methods of disabling them reported that they were disabled.
Seems that the score in instant action is a bit out (missing two zeros perhaps?)
It seems as though I was in SIM mode. I’ve never set Master Arm to OFF or SIM so I don’t know why it was like that. I saw dots in the HUD where the bullets should go. I checked SimTrigger and SimTrigger by itself did not appear in any of the config files. SimTriggerFirstDetent and SimTriggerSecondDetent were both there and seemed to be correct.
I ran some Instant Action sessions and switched the Master Arm from On -> Off -> SIM -> Off -> On and that seemed to fix it. I shot down a couple of bombers. Those buggers need a LOT of bullets to make a difference!
Next time I’ll check that I’m in ARM mode now that I know what that does.
Thanks for all of your advice.
