Saitek X52 Pro and LockOn

[Ramstein]

Saitek X52 Pro and LockOn is giving me a hard time trying to map it out for LockOn:FC. I had a Saitek X36USB for 7 years, and had it mapped nicely. I notice that the LockON directories are setup for older version of Saitek Stick, but the latest code has not kept up. Is ED or anyone on the team going to help us with saitek X52 and X52 Pro sticks? Note: the X52 and X52 Pro stick profiles are not interchangalble. You cannot use an X52 profile in a X52 pro stick. I am also asking Saitek to make a utility to convert X52 profiles to X52 Pro. But, will LockOn:FC Black Hark give us any updates for the Saitek Sticks?

 

BTW, I am using the ingame Joystick setup menu for commands. It has been tough so far.

 

Sometimes I try to chage or enter a key or stick button command and the stupid window that open to chage or enter it only flahses and puts it's own number in there.... and bear in mind I have been flying this game since new, sonce the original LockOn came out several years ago.

 

Thank you..

I would make your own profile with the SST software. And, yes, programin it in lockon is difficult, every time you move the stick, even the slightest bit, it puts button 33 or 34 on there, which is really anoying. Just use the SST software.

Sorry can't help. I got the x52 and had no problems with the SST profile program. Is there any similarities that you can retype to the new Pro profile. I have not seen it so I don't know if you can print out an x52 profile then retype the commands with what ever change has to be made to make it work. A lot of work if it can be done but you will have your profile. Lets hope someone in the forum has a Pro also and can share with you. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers.

You really should use the SST software for as much as possible and only configure the axes and rotators in the game itself.

I made 4 profiles for the X52 Pro:

1) IL-2 profile, works for all versions up to the latest 1946.

2) LockOn:FC Profile

3) Falcon 4: Allied Force

4) Wings Over Vietnam (same profile as Strike Fighters, Wings Over Europe, First Eagles).

 

I put them in 1 zip file: download the zip: just dump them into an empty directory and put them in your Saitek folder.

=========

It takes several hours to make a profile,, and I am real tired from making a couple..

Note: These X52Pro Profiles don't work with the Saitek X52 non-pro and the non-pro profiles don't with with the pro, so don't bother trying.. so this just pertains to the X52 Pro stick..

Maybe that's because you are bringing up a post & clicking on a link that was created over a year ago.

No problem with X52, it programs perfect.

 

Many users with X52 PRO are getting mad!!!

 

0 points to Saitek and their poor drivers to PRO version.

Well, I agree that you should just make your own. You will get to know it better that way as well.

 

I also agree that you should use the SST Software to map all of your 'buttons' on the stick. And use the game to assign and configure all of your Axis on the Joystick X/Y and Throttle Z, as well as the Throttle Rotaries, Slider, and maybe even the mouse stick if you want to use that for something.

 

I believe this is how most users setup their HOTAS for sims like this.
