Profile issues with x52 Pro and UH-1H Huey

[skendzie]

Hi everyone!

 

My first post here :pilotfly: and I just want to say how much I love the modules and the DCS community. Very mature and constructive.

 

I recently installed the x52 Pro and set up a profile (with the Saitek software). For example, I set up my pinky trigger and switches to change the gunner AI settings:

 

Mode 1 + Pinky

T1 = ctrl+2

T2 = alt+2

 

Mode 2 + Pinky

T1 = ctrl+2

T2 = alt+2

 

When I'm in mode 2, everything works no problem. But when I'm in mode 1, it switches me to the gunner seat or co-pilot seat. :joystick: Seems like it doesn't register the alt or ctrl command, so the T1/T2 switches don't change the gunner AI settings even though it's the same command. Is this a bug or and I doing something wrong??

 

Thanks in advance!

I learned the solution through another topic.

 

I wasn't pressing the Alt + 4 key at the same time. I was pressing alt then 4 sometimes. The Saitek software, SST, doesn't make a distinction between Alt, 4 and Alt + 4. So be careful when programming your profile. Because even if it looks the same, it isn't the same behind the scenes.

 

Cheers.

i personally dont use the software other than to get ride of the mode switcher. i use dcs to bind every thing.i think its easier and most effective

That's what other people were saying. But to be honest, I kind like the little screen (MFD) on the throttle because if I bind a key to a button and program the keystroke name, it will display on the MFD. This helps me a lot because I'm kinda new so I forget the controls :P

 

I also like switching modes. Maybe you can use different modes with DCS keybinding but I can't figure it out yet.

just make a macro... been using Saitek for many years, you just need to know how to use the profiler
