Updated SFJackBauer's Saitek X52 Profile Copy (August 2016)

gharness84 · August 12, 2016

Finally getting back into the A-10C and I returned to find the beloved SFJackBauer X52 profile no longer working due to patches. I looked around but couldn't find an accurate enough replication. This is my attempt.

All credit goes to SFJackBauer. Thank you for making an intuitive HOTAS layout that my friend and I used to learn how to fly this beast.

This should be all you need to do. I mapped the Speed Brakes Closed and Speed Brakes Open to the 'B' and 'N' keys and then mapped the throttle slider to bands in the Saitek Profiler. B key at 0%-25%, Null(center) at 25%-75%, and N key at 75%-100%. Hopefully this doesn't mess up the keyboard functionality for you too much.

Also, I only use one Mode 1 (green LED). Basically pulling the pinky switch back towards you. I know the original had some other pinky modes but this seems to work fine for me.
