Anyone know what the “range knob” is supposed to do …. doesn’t do anything on mine.

You can see the button assignments in a few ways … in the Falcon controller setup, they should appear when you hit the button (if they are defined to Falcon). If you view the .key file (BMS-HD.key) in notepad, they are listed at the bottom of the file.
They look something like this:
SimWheelBrakes 0 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPickle 1 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimCATSwitch 2 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimPinkySwitch 3 8 -2 0 0x0 0
SimDropChaff 4 8 -2 0 0x0 0
…
The first number is the button #
To file a missile, you need several things: Master arm on, be in DGFT, MSL, or A-A radar mode, and a target locked (otherwise you’ll get a mad-dog). Missile release (pickle) will fire quickly if a heat is selected, it requires a long press to fire a RADAR.
I changed the deadbands and it helps … it was the cursor left that causes the freeze. I changed the cursor movements back to the PC cursor arrows, and now it does not hang.
Range knob still does nothing … anyone know what it’s suppose to do?
OK, everything seems to work …. except the mini-stick (radar cursors) and the Rotary1 (range knob). I have the clutch unchecked in the MFD settings and the range knob is set in the Avionics panel.
Anyone have a idea where to look next?
Update:
range knob still seems to do nothing
mouse works, kind of, … very touchy and occasionally L/R movement “freezes” the sim while it runs away … pushing back the other way can stop it, but the lights on the stick “flicker” like something was very busy. Going to play with the mouse deadzones to see if I can tame it.
Strange
OK, I’m an idiot …. somewhere along the line, as I was installing things, the profile got wiped back to zero. I DL’d it again, moved it to the docs. folder and the commands look good.
Go figure!
Thanks for listening… Time to fly a test flight
Can’t get the profile to populate in SST ver 7.0.2.7 (WIN7 x64) … anyone know where I can get a down-rev version for x64 machines?
Cheers
Update - found a version at ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/SST_Software_64_6_6_6_9.exe
It does not seem to work either, there are no key bindings assigned to the buttons (modes all look the same, stock settings).
I must be doing something wrong, any guesses?
