Stupid X52 question

[Aeroscout]

Can you make the stick execute a keystroke when you enter a mode? I want it to enter mode 2, but at the same time, execute the "2" button to enter BVR mode. The same for mode 3 with the 7 key.

 

Can this be done while still assigning separate keystrokes to each button for each mode?

 

Thanks...

hm..... I suppose you could do this by way of a advanced command- but- This is not always a good way to change modes. You end up taking up a lot more programmable space. You likely already did this, but I used the mode switch- obviously- to switch between the command set assigned for each mode. Some commands are the same throughout, some are unique to that mode's purpose. So- I switch to mode 3 for example, but then I had a HAT position to actually change the HUD and execute commands in that mode. I do the same thing on my CH gear.

 

HAT #1 position UP

mode 1- BVR (2)

Mode 2- NAV (1) (1 cycles through all 3 NAV submodes anyway)

Mode 3- A2G (7)

 

The other positions RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT could be used for whatever else you needed in that mode. A2G didn't need much else -except maybe a gun toggle. But A2A modes could be VS, BS, ShLEM.

 

 

EDIT- In fact- you could select any of them and bring up the submode you wanted directly. Example- Throw switch to mode #1 A2A and go directly to VS. When you have multiple submodes- you could go to any of them

 

Air to ground- you could not. 7 is the only air to ground, so you'd have to use the HAT to switch modes on the HUD.
