RvETito Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Just make sure you don't have any profile loaded when you fly BS and the mapping in the built-in input feature will work perfectly.

crazysundog Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for the advise. BTW, I figured out my issue with my profile, if you have a Saitek you may appreciate this... I had bound the 1,2, and 7 keys to my mode switch; Nav, Air and Ground, respectively. This caused a little headache for some reason and I deleted the keystrokes. This caused some kind of glitch in the SST soft that caused my lockon profile to use 100% of one core of my E8500. I remedied by clicking the key 'box', and selecting 'unprogrammed' as the state. Apparently deleting the keys is NOT the correct solution... Like I said, 'buggy' software!

531-Ghost Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Seems some of the keys assignments needs a little help along the way for the Command File to work, properly. There is a thread at The CH-Hangar discussing how to get it to work. HERE :joystick:

Apparently deleting the keys is NOT the correct solution... Like I said, 'buggy' software! That is no bug. When you program a button you can assign a keys or a macro and then you give it a name. If you delete the key without clearing the assignment, the assignment still stays, but in the list the keystroke is replaced by a blank for all other buttons, too, sharing the same configuration. If you then revert it to unprogrammed, the modifications still stay the same of course. And if you have the problem with the BS input: It's not the STT-Software but the game. There is a long thread about this over at the CH-Hangar and the problem for the Cougar is quite similar. Apparently the game does not recognize those unless you slow the input down (e.g. with CHARDLY - command for CH after each input). And it's not even down to odd combinations like RightShift + RightAlt + key, but also for simple things like Shift + key, depending on stick and OS-combination. I got my stick working correctly with a lower KeyRate, but it takes at least half a second now to fire rockets and missiles = not a good solution :noexpression: Edited November 12, 2008 by Feuerfalke MSI X670E Gaming Plus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 64 GB DDR4 | AMD RX 6900 XT | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | CreativeX G6 | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win11 64 HP | StreamDeck XL | 3x TM MFD
swepain Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 i hope that saitek will release a new ver of their stt software in time for BS realease.. i fakking hate the ver they have now.. and as far as i know BS will be a biatch to profile... It takes a fool to remain sane :huh:
Stalintc Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It is a pain, ive lost all most of the keyboard functions due to having a profile loaded that I created, mostly when using pinkie switch combinations. Then everything that used to do something does something else insted! For example I have Shkval slew mapped to my throttle hat and then the tracking gate size and zoom for the display mapped to the same hat on a pinkie switch! when I got the problem the throttle hat then started changing my artificial horizon alignment insted LOL I think for now it is best to stick to a limited profile of the most used buttons and click the switches that are left in the cockpit, that has worked fine for me so far, unless someone out there manages to create a profile with delays that work etc, so far I have failed :(
Feuerfalke Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 That's really odd. I never had a problem with my X52, even though I programmed it with loads of macros (like complex emergency shut-down for IL2 - select the engine, throttle to 0, Feather, FireExtinguisher, select other engine). The only real big problem I ever had with my X52 was when I switched from an nVidia to an Intel-Board. Suddenly I could even program the MFD-Buttons on the non-pro X52, but complex programming was completely messed up.

Those combinations try to assign to the buttons on X52 directly in game options.
Prophet Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I have had no real problem programming my X52. Its not fully loaded up yet, but I have most of the main functions needed.
Raimir Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I had problem with x52 SST programing software. When i wanted create profile for LOMAC, key shortcut RWin+I (change the radar pulse) is for me impossible to enter. It opens some windows menu and put SSt into background. Solution was remap in lomac to different key combination (Ctrl+N is free) and then use it in SST. Second probelm is: I use version from CD which i've got with x52. When i install newest one, i can't use my current profiles created on old one. That's terrible from SAITEK. :doh: LockOn SVK Squad bomber.

Prophet Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah they changed the .pr0 layout. They were supposed to get a conversion tool out. I am sure some 12 year old programmer could figure it out.
Gary Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) All, I have had some mixed results flying with my rather old x45 set up. Sometimes the shark seems to act as expected, other times it seems to have a mind of its own! Beginning to think my x45 is a little flakey now but before I rush off to buy new equipment I thought I would try and check somehow. Tried all the calibration routines of course. Set up a flight in ME and watched from the outside....funny thing is, the nose wheel drifts hard left without any input from sticks whatsoever... Can anyone confirm this is normal and happens with their "normal" setup? Sorry, should have added, this is on the runway without touching and stick or throttle at all Thanks, Gary Edited November 12, 2008 by Gary I5 - 1TB SSHD, 256 SSD - Nvidia 1070 - 16gb ram - CV1

badaboom Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I'm having much better success mapping controls "in game" as opposed to the sst software from Saitek for my X-52,this is just the opposite of LOFC,where everything needed to be Profiled. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Prophet Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 The mapping ability in BS is pretty strong. Almost as strong as the SST, just without the macro function. But who really uses that? The only reason I use the SST software is because I can use the clutch button to see what I have something progammed to! 1
badaboom Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 @Prophet,Yeah........I forgot about that,the clutch is nice option instead of fumbling around looking for printouts of your profile. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gary Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Sounds to me as if you dont have the yaw mapped to the right axis? Yaw is mapped tothe rudder function of my x45.... Can anyone tell me if thenose wheel turning whilst sat on the runway without touching either the collective or cyclic is normal?

SunDown Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 You know I noticed that in one of the videos that was released. I mean it went hard to the right. But when the aircraft started moving forward it straightened up. Bug? I dont have the sim so I can't verify, but i do remember seeing that. C Co 6-6 CAV USLANTCOM
