You may consider the Vive instead. Valve has a better history than “Facebook,” and isn’t making their crap contain VR DRM. I expect support for the Rift to die quite quickly.
The DRM has been removed by Oculus. Was just being circumvented anyway.

It’s total nonsense. They’ll have used some of the same reference materials is all but their flight model is one they coded up themselves.
I had issues with BOS as well and ended up using the UI like you. But DCS works totally fine for me using SST - though I found I had to use advanced commands in the repeat macro box and zero time delay for commands using shift as the X-55 just seems to have a problem with these in every sim. Falcon was a total nightmare to set up using SST but eventually got there using the method mentioned before. I’m using Win 10 as well so really not sure why it’s working for me and not for you.
Where do you have your X-55 plugged in to? I originally had it plugged into USB ports at the front of my PC and it caused all kinds of wonkiness but when I switched them to the USB ports at the back of the PC things were fine. Though I guess if you have it working ok for BOS that’s probably not the issue…
Can you try the attached key file and see how it works? It’s the one I use after I stripped out the duplicate DX commands at the bottom that were causing weird things to happen. I think you’ll have to select it in the BMS UI as well as it’ll probably using the BMS Full key still. The key file should be dropped into D:\Falcon BMS 4.33\User\Config.
The settings are the same as in your pic. I have appended my profile for comparison.
Yep they look ok alright. What keyfile are you using? It’s possible there might be a conflict with some DX key info at the bottom of the file that’s causing issues (this was something that I had a problem with initially)? I use my profile ok and the time delay set to zero doesn’t cause any issue for me at least. It’s what I always use with the X-55 across all sims when working with advanced commands as it helped eliminate some ghosting. Might be worth testing anyway as b4dshot mentioned.
I don’t have any issues myself - I did find that when using shift modifiers you have to enter both the button press and button release. If you check the advanced command in SST can you see that the one you’re using has both? I’ve attached a jpg showing what it should look like. It took me a while and some experimentation to figure out how to get those to work so it’s possible there’s some duplicate commands in the pro file with one version done the correct way and one done incorrectly. I can take a look later today when I get back home.
PM me your email address and I’ll send you the proper PDF versions - they’re too large to upload here. The jpegs are ok to read too but when they got thumbnailed they lost some clarity it seems.
Made a few updates after using it in practice for a while - have attached an updated file.
Added emergency jettison and Cat I / Cat III to Toggle 4 in Mode 1 (Combat) - makes it easier to quickly jettison and flip to Cat I by flicking toggle 4 up and down in one motion
Switched the speedbrakes and slap switch around - it’s easier to fire off countermeasures with the thumb
Removed pitch trim and added view zoom in / out in the UI - the thumb axis on the throttle is easy to control for this and I wasn’t finding much use for pitch trim in practice
I find it works fine for A-A at least. Only started reading the manual for A-G so might need some additions later down the line.
Would definitely go with the X-55 over the X-52 Pro. I had a X-52 Pro before and and the X-55 stick I use now is definitely more precise and should give less long term issues as it uses hall effect sensors. The functionality on the stick is a better fit for BMS too as well in my opinion. The only real disadvantage of the X-55 stick compared with the X-52 is the absence of a dual stage trigger.
The X-55 throttle has more functionality than than the X-52 and overall also fits better for BMS in my opinion. The X-55 throttle still uses pots though so likely will get a bit spiky over time similar to how my X-52 went. Also the dual-throttle is good for multi-engine planes.
