Is anyone using a HOTAS profile in SU27

[Xxx]

Specifically the SU 27 for DCS World?

 

Since I have had little success with my Saitek X52 pro in writing an SU 27 HOTAS profile, I wondered if anyone has done a profile for any sick for the SU 27? There are none in the files that I can see.

 

I have tried direct DCS World GUI and using just the X52 profiler, also a combination of both. With very mixed results.

 

The problem I have seems to be a delay or lag in stick to sim. The keyboard works just fine alone, but when I assign keys to the stick, the input does not match the output. "Lock" or "Enter" is not working, yet does work from my keyboard. The "Stick to Trim" is not working and the radar modes are unreliable.

 

Since I use the X52 in HOTAS X52, for the A10c and the Ka-50 Black Shark, both in DCS World and alone and have no problems whatsoever, I surmise its something pertaining to the SU 27.

 

Maybe I am alone in these problems?:cry::mad:

 

Perhaps its my X52 and/or software? :cry:

Well i´ve made one for the X-55. I don´t know if this could help you.

I have made one myself which I like for the warthog. Matches up functionally to the A-10C controls for the most part. Helps remember where things are. And i then generally use a similar layout for all the other planes and it helps remember all the controls.

x65 anyone?

I use this driver 6.0.4.1 and software 6.6.6.9 for my X52 and all work perfect on Win7.

I gave up on the SST software for this reason. I discovered that certain keybindings and button press combinations did not play well together. What i ended up doing is setting a blank profile for X52 in SST (only one mode, deleted all shiftstates) and this let me bind everything (including the mode and pinkey switches) in the sim.

 

The way control binding works in DCS (bind with keypress/axis motion, pressing key shows bound command) makes setting up a new bird very easy (if a bit tedious, all those buttons) and beats the hell out of half a dozen clicks for each command in SST.

I would also be interested as I'm (very) slowly configuring my HOTAS.

I own a X-55 throttle and I should get a VKB Black Mamba in a few days. Both with three modes.

 

Here's the early throttle configuration:

 

 

The green functions are triggered in combination with a modifier button on the stick (Extreme 3D Pro)

Many thanks to all you guys.

 

I have managed to compile a HOTAS (of sorts) for the SU 27.

 

Here's what I did.

 

Installed the latest Saitek Driver version, 7.0.34.109 and the latest software version, 7.0.27.13.

 

Then used a combination of SST keys programmed and some direct DCS bindings. Direct DCS bindings on the unshifted Saitek key states and a few shifted states with SST keybinds!

 

The Radar range etc is on the throttle slider and radar elevation on rotary 1.Rotary 2 also works with HDD range. So its an improvement on my last attempts.

 

This has taken me all afternoon! But I think I may have a workable solution now. Its trail and error to determine what works and what doesn't!

 

Hope this helps anyone else who is struggling!

 

At least it shows you can make do with the X52 pro if your budget wont stretch to a Warthog/X55!

 

Cheers

Just wondering whether or not not you guys have posted your X-55 profiles for the SU-27 as I have just added the SU-27 to by collections and have been looking through the manual to get familiar with the various controls. And it would be nice to be able to have some profile posted in the forum or even uploaded to DCS website.

Looks like there are 2, 8 way coolies on the stick. So The question is which of the following would be the best?

Which one actually works the best?

 

 

Or..

 

Or my old faithful, which does work with part SSt codes and Part DCS direct GUI assignments.

 

So if anyones got some working profiles...?

 

[karambiatos]

one of the collies is an axis slew on the actual 27, so you can change the slew speed of the TDC.

 

Unfortunately the 27 options in game dont have the whole WVR BVR switch

[Bourrinopathe]

Here's the best answer ;)

 

 

VKB Fat Black Mamba.

WOW...im in love...now... :joystick:

[Eflemmen]

has someone got a good setup for the Logitech g940? :)

I have made one myself which I like for the warthog. Matches up functionally to the A-10C controls for the most part.

 

Hi Witchking,

 

can you share your WH profile for the SU27/A10 (based on target script i presume)? that would be great!

 

thx
