    Saitek X52 "i" button mapping.

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    Very nice discovery.

     

    Can I ask you to research another thing?

     

    I hate twisty sticks with whole my guts :D :) , so I soldered my stick inside the twisty lock mechanism to reduce the "wooble" of the stick, which worked for half part. But...

     

    ...there are 9 axis on the X52 if you put the ministick to be axis and windows can't see more than 8. Apparently the ministick axis are the last ones to be listed and because they are somehow linked they are removed both of them from usage.

     

    So the stick remains with just...7 axis: X and Y, throttle, precission slider, 2 rotaries and the infamous twisty rudder.

     

     

    Well mine has 6 because I soldered one... the darn twisty rudder. I think many like me are using rudder pedals, so I would love to put back the two ministick axis back where they belong and have my mouse asigned diferently than the ministick.

     

    Can it be done via registry editing or something?

     

    :joystick:

    Via SST programming software I've made my ministick to work as Radar antenna slew (hor/vertical), and in case of Su-25/T/A-10 it is ripple selection and interval.

    It can also work really cool as target designator.

    Quick question on refueling...

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    If you are talking about multiplayer refueling that all of that draws incorrectly for all clients and even the steering circle is incorrect. All you need to do is just to aim for the refueling pod and hold your position steady that's it.

    Always remember to select [~] which probe you are actually going for.

    This webpage barely loads in my browser. It is so damn slow that I think I'm getting timeouts here (I managed to read the FAQ)

    Well, few questions.

    Is is going to be a hardcore dedicated LockOn server, and by that I don't mean ACE settings but actually a non-airquake server. With long CAP/FighterSweep flights and large separation between Blue and Red bases, and correct AD and SHORAD? If it is going to be another air-quake dedicated server count me out :( That is the reason why I fly only on one of them.

    I've read the FAQ. Sounds complicated and lots of work. Without dedicated people it won't run for long. I wish you all the best though! Keep us updated. Oh, and please find a better server for your webpage. Maybe the same webpage you use for your squadron homepage? This one works fine (to me).

    I get the impression that people who use keyboard and mouse have real advantage over people who use a stick??? (Disagree or agree people)simple the response time is so much quicker with K&M.

    In arcade-simple game maybe yes, but in any more complex flight model this is horrible way to control. You'll soon realize what I'm talking about when you touch the real thing, which will be LockOn 1.2 Ka-50 :)

    'However in the sim world, I have not yet had a single failure (during startup or other wise). '

     

    You'll only get them if you have failures turned on in the mission settings.

    They're off by default.

    Yes. You can use failure settings in mission editor in pretty interesting ways.

     

    F.e. set left and right engine to fail somewhen in next 2-3h hours, and move probability slider to 1%.

    So you there's ~1/100 chance that during your mission one of your engines will fail and I guess about 1/10000 chance that both will fail :)

     

    If you want to simulate engine failure during startup procedure, set engine failures in first minutes of your mission and also set probability slider.

     

    Of course it would be better if we had probablity slider for each failure option

    Hehehe..far out...

    This is an example what's the diffrence between reality of atmospheric flight and PC simulator.

    This kind of flight with fixed wing jet under helis rotor's wake is just not possible aerodynamically.

    I know the purpose of this is to demonstrate modded heli engine/rotor sounds. I personally stick to default sounds. I spent 99% of my time in the cockpit and find sounds from inside this cockpit good enough.

    mi heli clip awesome....

    F-18 Mod???

    STFU is what you should be doing right now instead of looking like a fool, because you and your little 504 boys can't take the fact that you have noob in your squad that doesn't know when to shut up and gets bad rep for it. Now you are going to hijack every thread to cry about it, because the mods already told you to piss of and act like men. Thats not good enough so you have to cry in public.

    You don't see me posting the neg rep points from your dumbass or anyone else that gives them to me for posting a video or something that actually contributes to the community. You boys know what started this and all I can say is your 1st instinct was probably the right one when it comes to certain personel issues in your camp, and now instead of flying your are in the forums arguing for him again. LOL so sad.....

    Yes it is sad really that one lost soul who actually apologized .ru moderators and wanted to straight everything up and become a good member of online flying community has become a target of your and your friend's hate-campaign. Was it really necessary? Instead of stayin of eachothers way you've chosen to provoke this situation. It's very sad what happened - I agree completely. You used to be respectful member of this community and went straight downhill to show what sort of person you really are.

    WTF do you know about it. Obviously not much, and I'm sure since wolverine's goal was to bash people publicly if there was a pm he would have probably posted it.....

     

    I'll post the *cough* "PM", instead of Wolverine then. This is just top of an iceberg. bSr.L()Csta's and ruggbutt's neg. reputation comments are hair-raising, and are improper to post here (to offensive)

     

    my first negative repution point for this post: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?p=214460#post214460

    and guess from who

    Ka-50 technology... 06-30-2006 11:14 PM bSr.L()Csta: the rep system is not for PM"S so stfu and stay out of it.

    and who says that :D

     

    @bSr.L()Csta

    Sir, have I sent you PM through rep system? I'm sure it was just a comment, really. This will never ever happen again.

    I'll stay out of Ka-50 thread what is your wish. I think you should be moderator of these forums so nothing like this will ever happen again and we will live happily ever after. You can count on me. Again, I'm so sorry. Please, I'm really sorry for stepping into your wacky world. Will you forgive me? I beg you for forgiveness, sir.

     

    Although, sir, could you explain us what "stfu" stands for? I'm not really much into this so called elite speech, you know.

     

    Pardon my insolence.

    Truly yours,

    After watching that weapons system demo I'm kinda affraid that missions in Ka-50 will be just extremaly boring. Notice how ground units don't react to anything. One of them was just blown up, and the rest just sits there and waits to be killed, instead of moving for better cover, drop smoke or whatever... change its location, and also localize where the threat is comming from and fire whatever they got in that direction.

     

    they are "switched off" in that demonstration.

    don't worry, ground units will keep you busy all the time ;)

     

    Thank you for this reply, Dmut. That's sounds tempting. I nail you down to your promise :thumbup:
