X55 throttle and rotaries

[harf4ng]

Hi,

 

On the left of the X55 throttle, there is a rotary without a start and an end, a loose one.

In the saitek control panel, it is designed as scroll forward and scroll backward.

 

Do you think there is a way to use that as an axis?

 

Thanks

It's like mouse wheel.

 

You can assign "bands" for it (in SST software) and then it will become very useful rotary!

I always use it to increase or decrease frame square on Shkval or similar adjustments.

Thanks. I have thought about using this for the UH1 throttle but changed my mind. Not convenient a rotary without a limit for that so I used another rotary for that. Unsure what for I can use it yet :)

Funny but I have found that using a rotary for rudder works quite well :)

While I'm waiting for my MFG crosswind pedals of course :)

I always used it to increase/decrease radar range in the F-15. I haven't found a use for it in the A-10C but I'm sure its could be.

I was going to do the same in the Mirage but I've given up on that module until its further to completion.

I always use slider as throttle in Huey.

 

By the way, Harf4ng, you can press on that rotary just like mouse wheel - again.

Just wanted to remind it.

 

See you.

Slider? What do you mean by using slider as throttle? Which slider?

I use the X55 throttle as collective. So I use one of the rotary as throttle.

Ah... Oh my!.. X55? What X55?

Why did I read X55 as X52?

 

I need to sleep more! :(

So, sorry, I'm reading it 52 for two days...

 

Hey, please forget all my posts. :)

Sorry for wasting your time, brain and energy. :D

Hello all I realize this thread is a little old. But I use the little scroll wheels on the X52pro Throttle down below the screen to change the radio freq. They register as a button click so scroll up and down moves the numbers up and down.

I use that chrome scroll rotary for next and prev pages scroll on the kneeboard (without SST programming). Works great.

Does anyone know what the name of the scroll wheel switch on the x55 right handle throttle is? I just want to buy the switch Not sure what to call it. I have done a few Google searches but nothing other then scroll wheels for a mouse.
