Logitech Profiles or DCS Profiles for X56 HOTAS

[CDR Storm]

I apologize if this has been covered.  I have a new Logitech X56 HOTAS and am in the process of getting used to it and programming it.  I will be flying the P-51D, A-10C and the F/A-18C.  I am looking for guidance on whether to create and store my profiles in DCS, or use the Logitech Program.  I plan on using the HOTAS for X-Plane and AeroFly as well.

 

What are the pros and cons of both methods?  I do know that you cannot use the three mode options unless you use Logitech.

Chucks guide in the FA18 has a pretty good start on the Hotas

Hello,

I have an x-56 and mostly use the dcs settings .

I use the logitech software only when there is a need to modify button/axis behaviour. For example, I wanted the stick little thumb joystick to act as 4 keypresses in the a-10c ( countermeasures) so used the logitech for this. And the 3 mode selector can be used to switch between this and normal behaviour.

Have fun , if u like I cans end you the files to start with. Just mp.
