DEWorley Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i have a saitek x52 joystick, throttle and pro rudders running in Vista64. all of the axes & buttons respond fine in the windows game controller screen. but i'm having trouble mapping game functions to my x52 throttle buttons and all of the 8 way hats except for the throttle hat, using the in-game controller setup. the joystick buttons all map fine. also, windows calls the x52 hat switches; 'hat switch', 'POV2' & 'throttle hat' but the black shark controll screen doesn't use the same names, only pov_1, pov_2 & pov_3. and the black shark controll screen lists a lot more buttons than i have on my setup. any ideas?

You have to go through the Axis's list and make sure you don't have redundant keys set up on multiple buttons.:book: I have noticed the game has done this or someone in DCS programing didn't edit the assignments correctly and doubled them up.:doh: " any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back, " W Forbes "Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts," Winston Churchill " He who never changes his mind, never changes anything," MSI z690MPG DDR4 || i914900k|| ddr4-64gb PC3200 || MSI RTX 4070Ti|Game1300w|Win10x64| |turtle beach elite pro 5.1|| ViRpiL,T50cm2|| MFG Crosswinds|| VT50CM-plus rotor Throttle || G10 RGB EVGA Keyboard/MouseLogitech || PiMax Crystal VR || 32 Samsung|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIIJG11 Reaper Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 So its a X52 ie, .dat files or the .pr0. I have found with my pro it got a whole lot better with the new beta software from saitek, basically made a profile and havent had to touch a thing in the game controller setup.

DEWorley Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 mastiff, i'm not sure what you mean by 'go through the Axis's list'. i don't have any game function assigned to more than 1 joystick button or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWorley Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 reaper, i'm not using any external software to program the joystick, only the in-game setup screen. years ago i enjoyed programming & fine tuning my setup, usually i used 'foxy', i think it was called, but now i just want to get it running good enough.
