Jamey Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 First, Thank You to Shein for the great profile! Finally got my X55. It's awesome, but I have an issue The toggle switches on the throttle are glitchy/randomly activate whenever. For instance, the landing gear will lower, flaps lower, CMS activates, all at random. Anyone else have this issue? I purchased from Amazon, but they are out of stock again, and I am hoping I can resolve the issue without returning it.
Tosher Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I have had the same problem. Only happened once. I am now using Athlonic from the user files. I have also had some issues with that profile, where I have to click the profile button in the HUD software to reload. But fir the most part it is working, so if anything maybe it is software related and not hardware.
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Hey Shein, How did you solve the errant mouse on your x-55 throttle? Did Saitek replace your unit or was it a software issue? Mine is currently useless. Thanks!

Shein Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Hey Shein, How did you solve the errant mouse on your x-55 throttle? Did Saitek replace your unit or was it a software issue? Mine is currently useless. Thanks! It's just crappy. I'm thinking of reassigning one of the hats on the throttles to be slew control. Make sure you have the latest drivers and software; they've made some changes
Foo_Fighter Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I can confirm an issue with the small mouse stick on the throttle. I noticed in the stick's programming software that the mouse behaved strange. It works in game when slewing, but the more you zoom in on the TGP the harder it gets to fine control the slew. It seems to me like a miss in the design of the mouse... It's just not exact enough. Works for me but gets a bit annoying at times. Foo out I don't know why people complain about this asbestos stuff...it don't smell so bad.
WhiteNoise5150 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 This is a Great Explanation, Very helpful Thanks ALOT! I do have one simple question for you that I cannot seem to figure out. When I go into the game I do notice that the "Column" is apparent in the "Controls" for my Throttle, So i do believe the game is picking it up and is installed correctly to the computer. But when I do to add the Axis command from the Throttle by moving it back and forth it registers as Joy_x/ or Joy_Y......this is the joystick, why is it not picking it up as Throttle. Or is it? I dunno, just frustrating to get into an aircraft and my throttles acts like a joy stick, how do i get around this? Also you know any locations of good profiles for this controller with the Heuy? Thanks Sir have a good day.
MortiFied666 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I don't know what is happening. But the pinky switch doesn't seem to change the mode. No matter what position i put the mode switch in. I can't turn the lights on. Is anyone else having this issue?
larmannjan Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 slewe and speedbrakes are not working. DOn't care too much about the speedbrakes issue. But slew would be nice if it worked. Anyone have slew working?
Shein Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't kept up with this stuff. Recently, I wiped my computer and installed everything fresh. Figured this would be a perfect time to update the X-55 profile! I downloaded my OWN file, followed my OWN instructions, and everything worked. Even the slew! Don't know if the new X-55 drivers fixed that or what. I also changed the way the speedbrake works, so heads up on that. Anyway, it's all tested and works 100% to my knowledge with DCS 1.2.11. If you didn't hear the good news, the A-10C was protected from being retired for 1 more year today! Enjoy everyone and BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT on! Message / post here if you encounter any other issues. Thank you all for your support and patience.
infernus1986 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks for the update I was just about to tear into A10C now that i've got the hang of FC3 FX-8320 8Gb R9-280 X-55 Opentrack [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Shein Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 CHeers! But I recently discovered a glitch in the speedbrakes today. FIXING NOW!
Stubbostubbs Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Sorry mate, I`m pretty dim. I followed your instructions to the letter but nothing works. When I load the lua`s into DCS, nothing can be seen in the configuration windows for either keyboard/throttle/stick. I cleared all the categories before loading your bindings. When I load up the SST software and choose your profile, when I try to check the loaded profile within the SST, nothing works except the speedbrake key. Its gotta be me, but I cant figure out why..........

Its gotta be me, but I cant figure out why.......... Are you clicking on the correct category BEFORE loading the .lua files? do you have A-10 sim selected in the drop down window? The only thing that uses the SST software is the speedbrake so that's normal.
Stubbostubbs Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Yep, I have (A10 sim) selected, plus (All.) I then click in the keyboard bindings column and select load. Navigate to your Lua keyboard binding and load that. Same procedure for stick/throttle Lua`s. Nothing is placed in any of the columns after I have done this. I take it that there should be! Close the game by choosing ok. Down to desktop. Navigate to your keybindings rip (extracted) and place it in the Madcatz folder as requested. Then choose that profile from Rhino icon on the menu bar and load that. Get into the game, juices begin to flow, then.............................. fk all! You dont have a spare gun or noose available do you? PS. I DO appreciate what you are doing by producing this Profile and answering my idiotic posts. if I had a sister, you could have her for a weekend ;)
The_Pharoah Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 How did you get the little mouse nipple thingy on the X55 throttle to work? I'm assuming you mapped this to slew?

Shadowplay Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for the profile. I'm curious - why use the .rar archiver and not just .zip? I assume everybody's downloading WINRAR or something similar to extract the files?
norwegianwiking Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 works excellently for me. Had issues with the X55\HUD software, but once i got a powered USB hub all i had to do was find a profile, load it up, and all worked fine.
Digger55 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Nice work, Does anyone know why the Mode switches won't work in the Sim with this profile? They work without a profile loaded and with at least one other profile but don't seem to work with this one. Nothing in the cells for them but it seem like something is stepping on them. I am assuming buggy ass software..lol:D

I am assuming buggy ass software..lol:D Got it figured out, Started a new profile and then inserted the keys into the cells and did a full configuration. Not really much in there to be honest. Then deleted all unused names that somehow became unused. After that it worked well. Thanks again.:D
Digger55 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 One other thing I found is Madcatx on startup loads a default profile and you will need to load the correct one before you start DCS. Well if you are comfortable messing with regedit, you can do the following. Start regedit and go to this keyname: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mad Catz\Configuration\StartupProfiles. In each of the keys enter the preferred startup profile as seen in the pic. When you restart the pc this profile will automatically be loaded.
