Gourmand Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 New to Dcs, Trying to use downloaded X52 F16 HOTAS setup. Cant find where to load file and how to pull into game. File format is from DCS contributor is .rar and not .lua. Looking for clear advice- everything I have seen so far is not straightforward.

The file you have dowloaded is a archive file which has multiple compressed files inside of it, you will need to extract those files and place them in the correct directory structure for the logitech X52 software. You will need to download and install a free program such as WinRar to extract the files from the Logitechx52.rar file. You will need to have the Logitech SST software installed (These files don't go into DCS at all and aren't programmed to change the joystick programming, they use the "Logitech profiler" to load the profiles for use and they inturn simulate you pressing the required keyboard and axis commands and sending them to DCS in real time as you fly. Hence at no time do you edit the profiles in the DCS input configuration, but in the Logitech SST and profiler software. Logitech Profiler needs to be running in the windows task bar which will show all the profiles you download when you have them the correct directory. You will need to then place all of the *.pro files from the extracted RAR file and place them into the "c:\Users\Public\Documents\Logitech\X52" folder, or something close to this. You will also have to remember to switch the profiles when ever you change aircraft to fly when in DCS. You should then be able to select the F-16 profile from the Logitech Profiler software in the windows task bar. Fly DCS as normal. Regards, Ian.
