X-55 Profiles For DCS World by Infernus

[infernus1986]

Welcome to my X-55 profile thread, feel free to leave comments and suggestions as I am by no means an ace.

I will be updating this with profiles for FC3, Mig-21, F-86 and Su-25T soon as well as any other modules I pick up.

 

To use these profiles copy the .pr0 file to *:\Users\Public\Documents\Mad Catz\X-55 Rhino and activate it in the X-55 Rhino software.

Next copy the .diff.lua files to *:\Users\"your username"\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input.

Fire up DCS World and load the .dif.lua's to the corresponding devices in DCS and you're ready to go.

You should not need to reload profiles in DCS, see spoilered images for more help.

 

 

 

To use the head tracker pause and reset buttons you must set these hotkeys in Track IR or Open Track.

R-Ctrl R-Shift F12 for HT Reset

R-Ctrl R-Shift F11 for HT Pause

 

For printable versions see this Post

 

Update 2/7/15

Reconfigured the Slew to be uniform and a macro for better performance in all profiles.

Ka-50: Swapped Target Lock and Uncage Shkval to allow Shkval slew use while holding Target Lock.

Update 2/10/15

Ka-50: Swapped hat switches so all Shkval controls are useable while holding target lock.

Update 2/26/15

Pitch Roll Yaw deadzone and curve settings are now the same on all planes [Ka-50 has more curve] (tweak to your liking)

Pressing the flaps switch up toggles up and down, down is always landing flaps [except on A-10C] (changed due to some planes having more than just up/landing position and no dedicated up/down switches)

Update 5/28/15

Removed Macro from some binds to eliminate keyspam/BSOD

Excellent post. Just what I have been looking for.

Infernus if you create any other profiles please post them here for us to share.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Nice share:thumbup:

[7rooper]

Great! Thanks a lot for sharing this!

[the_soupdragon]

Tried the Ka50 Profile last night. Worked like a charm although I did swap the trimmer and Hover buttons. Great job Mate :thumbup:

Nice one. Keep 'em coming mate. Looking forward to Su-25 and Mi-8 profiles.

 

Thanks for the share.

Thanks for the Profiles there M8te, looking forward to trying them out over the next few days. Any chance you would be doing any of the remaining modules, Have them all to date..and I suck at putting together effective profiles :)

[OilcanHarry]

Thanks for the work you put into this Infernus, and for the share as well. Wondering if you will be doing the 190...109... and Sabre as well in the future?

Currently I only have the modules in my sig so I can't do the ones I don't have, I do plan on doing all the DCS modules eventually when time and funds allow.

So many aircraft to learn such little time:pilotfly:

[Pacetech]

Thank you infernus, just bought the X-55 so your profiles have got me off to a flying start. This is my first HOTAS so lots of work ahead learning all the controls.

[gooey_stewie11]

Thanks so much for taking the time to make and upload these.

 

Quick question I tried to print that out. and I got a heavy black background. is there anyway I can tell my printer to not print a black background?

I tried gray scale and it still did it. so not sure

Wow I bet that used a lot of ink :no_sad:

Printable versions are something I can do, originally I sized these 1024x600 for my tablet.

I could look into making larger print versions in the future.

Until then have these black and white versions.

infernous. perhaps you can help. when I loaded this profile. and looked at all the mappings. half the stuff is missing. that you have marked on the printable page. the gears, flaps, throttles none of them work. its weird.

 

I tried a different profile from someone else and it works just fine.

Its the a10 C one

Just downloaded and tested to be sure, works fine.

 

Make sure to select the A-10C Sim, select all tab, then use clear category button to clear any old binds you may have in DCS for both X-55 devices and any other devices not being used.

Also be sure to load the stick profile to the X-55 stick device and the throttle to the throttle, if you hover your mouse over the device name at the top it will popup the full name.

FC3 A-10A and Su-25 added, that wraps up the FC3 planes.

Check updates in first post for other fixes and changes.

Up next is F-86, Mig-21 will likely come after DCS 2.0 due to it killing my computer ATM.

See after I had to have someone show me where this thread went to, it pops up on the first page. Maybe I was just being slow.

 

Well I now have the money for my x55 and might be able to buy the combat pedals and a used trackir 4. Maybe I can actually learn the sim the right way.

Having headtracking and the X-55 made DCS a lot more playable for me now I need to get a big monitor.

Pedals are not really necessary with the X-55 because the stick has twist, its not great but it works.

All you should need to do is unbind the yaw from the stick under axis settings and bind it to your pedals and possibly analog toe brakes for the planes that have them.

Dumb question. Are these saved into the game, or do I have to load for each aircraft I am flying? Ie will I have to change the saitek software every time?

You do have to select the plane with the Saitek software, easiest way is to right click the tray icon and select the profile, DCS should remember the controls but you can re save them to be sure.

Also updated the Print profiles added Su-25 A-10A.

Thanks a lot infernus I been looking for something to help me get setup, appreciate.

[rome57]

Thank you for the profiles.

hello!

 

i've got a x55 too, your profiles for su27/su33/mig29 helped me get ideas for my profile!

 

not sure if the following is common knowledge or not... in doubt i'll post :)

 

i use the HUD program because i wanna make use of the M1/M2/M3 selector

 

i've had 2 problems with the HUD program:

1. by default, cannot create a shift modifier on the stick (or throttle). or well, you can, but you need to sacrify a whole "mode" column and in HUD you can't create a "mode" column... but there is a way to add a "mode" column: backup your pr0 file, edit it, find the "stick" section (as opposed to the "throttle" section), and add a block similar to what follows here:

[list=1]
[*][shift=952c5f2c-9187-4327-9132-32ea022f0d6a name=Mode4
[*]          [selectionset
[*]            [buttoncombo
[*]              [buttonhid=0x00090011]]]]
[/list]

it's probably easier to do this on a relatively clean template so that it's easier to locate where that block of "code" should go. the stuff after shift= was taken from an existing key in my pr0 file and i just modified the last character

once done, reload the pr0 file, and customise your new mode! you can then select a "mode X" button + say "pinky" to be able to use the pinky as a modifier!

 

2. TeamSpeak3 causes HUD to generate "ghost" keypresses or multiple key presses on the stick/throttle. to remedy this, what i did is, in TS3, settings/options/hotkeys, select "keyboard & mouse only", then i found a key combination that isn't used in any aircraft or in any general situation in DCS and assigned it to speaking in TS3 and binded it in HUD

 

hope this helps!

[Guest deeplodokus]

and my question for you Infernus (+ others if you know!): how do you generate your beautiful printable stick/throttle with description? the print button in HUD generates a poor lousy list of commands in a cheap table... :noexpression:

 

thanks!
