hrc 156 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I want to make a cursor knob and various other sliders and switches functional on my flying stick in Falcon BMS. BMS doesn't seem to reckonise them on default, but I've read they can be set up via some directX thingy and profile settings. Is there a guide on how to do it?

MigBuster 2,884 Posted January 31, 2015 Depends on the type of stick I use CH equipment and create profiles and map each button using DX assignments via CH Manager which I then get to load on Windows startup. There are other ways of doing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MigBuster 2,884 Posted January 31, 2015 Any use? .................................................................. I want to share my X52 Pro profile for BMS 4.3x with the community. My idea for this profile was to try to make a copy of the real F16 flightcontrols, and also consider what would work when considering the BMS simulator in general. The result is what you can see in the picture, a semi real, semi clean profile, which only uses 1 mode and 1 shift state. I think you will not drown in too much buttons with this one , but you DO have the room to add two more modes and shift states if you prefer. Just use it as you see fit! Another plus is that my profile solves commonly reported bugs with certain functions too, by programming functions a little differently. Installation:Download the package (.rar) here: http://bit.ly/scubyflyingImport the .pr0 file into your Saitek SST software. Import the .key file into BMS. In BMS Setup, select your X52 Pro flightstick.In BMS Setup, set your throttle Afterburner detent.In BMS Setup, under advanced controls, make sure you setup the following axis, rotaries and slider:-Rudder = z rotation-Throttle = z axis-Pitch axis = y axis-Roll axis = x axis-Radar Antenna Elevation = x rotation-Range Knob = y rotation (check box REVERSED!). If some of your rotaries behave are a little switchy, go into you SST software, find the rotaries and set a tiny deadzone for them. *screenshots are added in the download to help with the above steps.Recommended Shared keys to setup:-Teamspeak Whisper = HOME (using HOME solves simultaneous key conflicts in BMS)-Teamspeak Push-to-talk = SCROLL LOCK (using SCROLL LOCK solves simultaneous key conflicts in BMS)-VAC TOGGLE = NUMPAD - (if applicable, set this key in your DWVAC software and set the "Arm" activation option)-TrackIR Center = NUMPAD + (set this key in your TrackIR software)-Teamspeak Mute = PAUSE BREAK (using PAUSE BREAK solves simultaneous key conflicts in BMS). Remarks:> This X52 Pro Profile is intended for TrackIR users--------------------------> My profile relies on usage of the Missle override mode and Dogfight override mode for AA engagements! However, the AA Mode/WPN button is still there on the flightstick for who is not comfortable with override modes (and using the MSL step button to switch between AA weapons). Second reason is that it might feel consistent for you too, when also having AG Mode/WPN and NAV Mode under your thumb. I never use the AAMode/WPN button.--------------------------> I have chosen to compromise the CMS, by only using CMS Up in conjunction with EWS PGRM +/- to cycle through my personal four pre-defined chaff/flare programs. By doing so, always set the EWS Mode Selector Switch to "Manual" (MAN) mode during your ramp start or flight.--------------------------> I did not setup "shifted buttons" for where UHF and VHF are programmed (Up and Down), because on many occasions you might want to UHF'ing or VHF'ing simultaneously when shifting another button. Though, Left and Right in shift state are setup to Voice Commands toggle (VAC) and TrackIR re-centering.--------------------------> The "S1 Press: Right OSB#1" is intended to be used to switch HSD topview when HSD page is active on the right MFD. Also only in AG Mode it is intended to quickly switch to guns when SMS page is active on the right MFD. Thus, make sure you have programmed the HSD and SMS page to the Right MFD and especially the SMS page to the right MFD in AG Mode! The HSD or SMS page need to made active on the right MFD before using the OSB#1 button: use your DMS Right button to cycle through the pages on the right MFD until HSD or SMS is displayed.--------------------------> Especially during "wheel braking" release trigger first, and then the shift button. If you release shift first, it will keep braking until you press shift again. This unfortunately is a hardware limitation of the X52. Same applies for trimming in flight.--------------------------> If you also assigned the HOME and SCROLL LOCK keys for Whisper/PTT in Teamspeak, don't forget the following option in Teamspeak: under Options, Hotkeys, find and set "Keyboard & Mouse Only" in the bottom right dropdown menu. This option will circumvent any joystick button issues when Teamspeak is used! --------------------------> If you also assigned the HOME and SCROLL LOCK keys for Whisper/PTT in Teamspeak, don't forget to mute Teamspeak if you plan to fly with IVC! Use your keyboard for that, because the PAUSE BREAK key is not part of your X52 Pro Profile.Scub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
