hey Sven. having issues with my x-52 and your profile, could use your help. the .pr0 file is loaded into the correct folder. its loaded up and working with stick. is the .LAU file just for the keyboard or does that need to be loaded into a joystick profile in the options? with or without loading the profile under "joystick" does nothing. i've also tried clearing out all joystick commands in options. what i dont get is how does the SST software communicate with the game. its like the game doesnt recognize anything the joystick is doing. do i need to load a profile into the controller options? or does a file need to be in a certain folder? lost here and tried a lot of stuff

ya so after messing around, trying to figure this out, still no clue as to what i need to do. any help would be great. heres what i've done installed drivers and SST software. put proper .pr0 file in the proper folder location. load profile into SST. i have nothing in game. no controls, nothing from the joystick. some profiles come with a .lau file that i thought should be loaded under joystick profiles? but all it shows me is keyboard commands after loading it, not joystick buttons. what i am not getting is how the SST software communicates with the game so it knows what buttons are what? what am i missing here?

none of those profiles work, with or without the SST software for the x-52

thanks for the link Blaze

thank you. having a rough time getting the one i found previously working right. for some reason it wont let me assign axis. after loading that profile. you can load profiles from any file location right?

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=42060&page=6 post #52 on page 6 looks like a good one. i'll post a few more if/when i find them

got the x-52 in today, now i feel like a real nerd. anyone have saitek x-52 profiles they would like to share for the A-10C? anything with a picture that goes with it would be great. or a link to a thread. learning this new joystick will take some time i think. searching for profiles now, let me know if you guys have any handy! thanks guys

i'll wait till the x52 shows up, then do a complete wipe of the game, re-install, see how it goes after that. bummer.....cause i really like the A2A training mission. i even got a freeze up with the A2A tone that happenswhen you lock on to a target. but it only lasted like a second. this game is a constant learning curve to learn how to play and learn how to make it function........ i'll keep posting as i try to get any fixes

nope, did not. that did cross my mind though. it doesnt give the option to delete that stuff when you do the removal. i'll have to do it manually.

reinstall done. fixed nothing. my joystick profile isnt working either. not a big deal cause i am chainging it soon to a x52 profile as soon as that stick shows up. still, simple comms isnt working. know that for a fact. anyone? ideas?

there should be a manual with the installation of the game

ok so i saved all the options i'm sure i have changed so far. but there is also another problem. sometimes i have issues with sounds. like bitch betty started yelling at me, then at the same time i got the beep beep beep when you hit the joystick too hard. when this happened my computer froze up. it took almost a whole minute to recover. i've had issues with this in the past too. when playing with the radio buttons, and you get that solid tone when you go below 110.00? well it would freeze up when that noise kicked in. i found that it was my toshiba stack bluetooth driver that caused that. it messed up my computer pretty good after the third time. reinstalled the drivers and everything was good until now. will reinstalling DCS fix this you think? this goes along with the other problems i've been having. simple comms button and the views issue. windows7, 4 gb ram, nvidia geforce 330m 1 gb video, i7 toshiba a660 laptop (i know.....i'm working on a desktop) with all standard drivers. only windows upgrading i have done is for windows files and not hardware drivers.

just another hint, get on youtube and watch each training mission before you do it. for some reason watching a video of someone else doing it made it much easier for me to understand when i did it. eagle dynamics made a video of every training mission. they were very helpful

why buy a stick that costs an arm and a leg, when a person might not play this game for long? sure, if you love this game, get a TM warthog. telling new guys to get TM warthogs is crazy......i think

nevermind. i got it to work i tried it 3 times before i came here and posted about it. mustve missed the trigger somehow.

sorry guys, just realized i put this in the wrong place. i'm real bad about that. just saw the training section

hey guys. doing guided munitions training and i get to the point where i select the first container box on the SE corner. he tells me to change the tracking modes (A and P, cant remember what they stand for) using TMS HOTAS up command. i do it, then nothing. training is over. i have upgraded the training missions with the recent patch for the file. found here http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/250461/ any word on how i can move on with this training? if i recall correctly, it worked fine before i did that patch. thanks in advance

jealous. by the way, had some extra money show up, x-52 is on the way to my house now, daughter got her wish list, should be buying that 8g of ram shortly too. shit is coming together. i'm learning to fly and i'm blowing stuff up. few more training missions to master and i'll be looking to play some multiplayer. enjoy those cougars. wish i had all the equipment to run some.

i'll look into this myself. still working through the training missions, getting decent at unguided bombs. next step is guided bombs, mavs, a2a, and cms. x52 is purchased and on its way to my house as i type this. need to get a head set though for comms. see you guys soon. oh and where is this server located? time zone?

that will tell you if its placebo or not

try putting in some crazy wind, punch in the numbers and see if it still works like you think.

hey guys, i have bugs. i'm trying to set up snap views only to find out that the cockpit view buttons arent working (Ralt plus number pad is the only one working, the rest dont work at all). LaltC only lets me zoom in and out and doesnt let me look around the cockpit via mouse. plus my simple comms key has never worked (i know about the option). buggy....... so remove and reinstall, i can save my key config and joystick profile right? what do i need to do to keep my snap views?

subbed

still a cool option if they ever fix it but thanks for the help anyway :thumbup:

hahaha, thanks for the advice wild bill.
