docehrenhoefer Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A rather difficult problem for a newbie... When I try to assign joystick axis in the options menu, does anybody know which names from the long list of axis names (like Joy_Z) belongs to which axis of a Saitek X52? for example, what ist joy_az? To assign buttons is rather easy using the profile editor, but I dont know how to assign the axis ingame... Thanks for your help! docehrenhoefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element1108 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 In the options menu you should see X52 profile as one of the taps up top. Click on the axis you'd like to change (Axis options from the pull down menu) If you want to change the default, click on the axis you'd like to change to hit CLEAR. Then click CHANGE and just move the stick along the axis you want to change it to. It'll pick it up by default and auto assign it for you. Hope that helps.

deviletk Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The joy axises should be X=horizontal (left - right) and Y=Vertical (up - down). Z is maybe the throttle? and AZ i have no clue yet lol. EDIT: Element had a better idea for you. ;) Regards Alex "Snuffer" D.

Cloudman Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I used the windows game controllers section and then wrote down what each slider,axis, rotory etc. was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Whn you set up commands using the in-game tool, you can just click the button to set it. With an axis, you can just move the axis, and it will detect it. For example, when I set up my collective, instead of trying to remember which axis it was named, I just moved the controller and it detected the axis for me.
