Using the Logitech controller programming software (using the X52 Pro)

[lil-hammer84]

Hey Ladies and Gents

Using the Logitech controller programming software:

I've gone and stumbled upon something, didn't find it on the forums, so i put it on here.

For all those people that are using the Logitech Controller Programming software, and can't get their profiles up and running, ive found a work around after ensuring i have the latest USB Drivers.

I've set the Logitech software AND the Saitek profile loader to "run as administrator" via the compatibility tab on the properties' page of those respective.

Basically, find the two bits software, in my case, im using the X52 Pro, So for both the Logitech "ST.eve" and the "X52Pro_Profiler.exe" (looking at Saitek profiler.jpg), right click, for properties, then go to compatibility, tick the box "run this program as an administrator" (looking at "compatibility for software.jpg") save and leave.

From here, start the Logitech software and Saitek profile loader new. Now, let's just say. You already have a profile created (if not, go and make a test one then), be sure to load it in the Logitech software.

After that, ensure you have started both software, looking in the corner by the clock, you should have the controller logo there as i do (looking at image "Saitek unmarked.png"), i can right click on the controller and pick the profile... in my case, selecting the F16C... because I can from there, the Saitek controller should be live (looking at "saitek marked.png".

 

From there, fire up the game, and happy flying

disclaimer

I do not work for DCS, Logitech or anyone else, done this out of boredom and happiness i got it sorted wooo.... now I ain't quite sure how it may look for the X52 (standard) and X56 for instance, but I bet it should be close enough

Hi Lil_hammer84, I have come back to using the X52 pro (for a couple of reasons) and am struggling to find the Logitch software. I have the X52 Profiler software downloaded from the Logitech site, but do you have links to the Logitech Controller Programming software?

Did you install driver for joystick prior to programming software? In my case profiler is not even starting. I though maybe it is related to the driver, but when I tried to install driver, it didn't even detected my joystick.
I tried two different versions, but result is the same
X52_HOTAS_x64_8_0_132_0
X52_HOTAS_x64_8_0_213_0

Hi @chip_4e

 

You may want to check which drivers the stick is listening to... i've discovered there have been times Microplop installed their basic drivers upon installing. Also check that the joystick is properly connected to the throttle (don't do the same mistake i did with forcing the connection in to be sure ... please) in the logi' S'w hit a couple of buttons to show its corresponding... otherwise you may want to check the "device manager" what's going on there.

 

For the SST, im using the Logitech Software version: 8.0.213.0

For the Saitek drivers, im using: 8.0.121.0

(just uploading screener incase there are other people whose not sure what we are on about)

Hello LIL-Hammer,

I wonder if you can help me.  I programmed POV1 UP button as Shift-Np9 and same button with Pinkie as Ctrl-Home. In the sst window it works as intended. However, BMS can see only the second input as 9 or with pinkie as Home without seeing the Shift and Ctrl inputs. Same problem with other profile without pinkie shift. May I ask you to help?

Hi there. Sorry for late response.. yes i know its been over a year. No doubt within the SST software you have saved the file, now from there you will have to ensure the file is loaded into the Profile loader, normally it should workas i described above. Now i cant say why it isn't working for BMS as i dont have it.
