Building a X52 .diff.lua under Control Options

When building a X52 profile in DCS A10c within Control Options, and creating the modifier

BTN 6 (pinky) , does the profiler recognize the BTN 6 on its own, or does another step need to be taken ? Those commands I have entered needing me to use the pinky switch at the same time I employ the Hotas button press are not being recognized. Thanks for any and assistance!!

Additionally, in building this profile in control options, are the MFDs 1 and 2 able to have additional commands added to them ? Got a couple of Cougar MFDs with some unused buttons, and thinking of adding 2 more. Again, thanks... I appreciate the input and the ideas you have.

My setup sounds similar to yours. Ive mapped all functions as near to the real HOTAS controls as possible (about 70 functions) using the Pinky to create 2 layers and it works perfectly. Hotas is also enabled in Misc. but I don't know what it does, or whether it is required. You should be able to press BTN 6 and then the assigned button which will then light up the function in the table. This might not help but at least it shows you are on the right track.

Thanks for the feedback... I haven't had the results you have had, so I have got to check my setup again. It certainly indicates BTN 6 was added to the list of modifiers, and in the individual assignments , but something is keeping the shift from being enacted when engaged.

 

Thanks again !!

I've noticed that when you use a joystick button as a modifier it is a latched key. You have to press the joystick button again to go back to "normal" joystick buttons. I wish there was a way to set it so that it's a modifier for only as long as you hold it down, more like a pinky switch that isn't latched.

There is, see the DCS User Manual, page 24.

IceBurner, I built an X52 profile long ago that I believe people are still using. I put a lot of time into analyzing and designing an intuitive setup. If nothing else it may serve as a good starting template for you.. I learned a lot of hard lessons while perfecting it.
