Washer UK Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hi I would like to assign the slider on the throttle stick of the x52 to zoom view in and out, has anybody managed it without simply using "bands"? Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64
Coolhnd1 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I use it simply by assigning it in-game, no profile. works pretty good for me. The only issue I've seen is when I zoom and stop sometimes I get a little bit of "shakiness" which I can usually cure just by pressing on the slider a little. I'm assuming the shakiness is from a slightly flaky contact. -- CoolHand
Washer UK Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Hi thanks for your reply I just went into the in game options and into x52 but I cannot find the slider listed, do you know what it is under? joy_button or....? Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64
Satchmo Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I have my soom assigned to the slider, and Im really not sur if I like it at times. But to answer your question, the only way i've found to program the slider is to assign bands to it. I keep the bands pretty small too.
Washer UK Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Yeah the bands can be kinda choppy thats why I would of liked it as an axis, dosnt look as though you can though Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64
rapid Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hi washer Uk your better off using the rotary dial on the e button if you want to try it that way let me know.

Washer UK Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Ok Satchmo I figured it out, the command is in axis commands hey! silly me, cheers for the tip-off Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64
Hobnail Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 If you're having "jerky" zoom syndrome, I suggest unbinding all other zoom controls in options. Works for me.
Washer UK Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Yeh I did have the jerky zoom but I noticed its a problem with the slider and or rotary dial on the x52, I went into control panel and the problem is evident in there, at certain points they flicker between 2 points which gives you jerky movement at certain points in game. Having said that today I noticed that there is a mouse scroll wheel on the x52 which by default zooms in and out... guess the problem is fixed :) Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64
nemises Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 unfortunately, the price of an inexpesive hotas, is cheap parts!.. I think the sensors on the slider, and rotary dials (potentiometers?) are very prone to "flicking" between whole values ... I definately get flickery zoom on the slider in lomac / il2 / black shark , though am used to it now (usually stay stable untill the slider or the throttle axis are moved). I think it is just an innacuracy in the design of the hotas..but given the price, it is still an excellent product imho

I think it is just an innacuracy in the design of the hotas..but given the price, it is still an excellent product imho yeah like some part with better quality was 50 cents more, so they decided to just keep the 50 cents, and use the cheaper part. I would rather pay the extra 50 cents. Of course no manufacturer get's that through their head. That's what happened to the cheap bastages at our automoble plants did, now they are all going out of business. Of course I own Saitek but there are times I can feel the cheapness. So far nothing has broken and I have been using the Saitek sticks for 9 years now. :joystick: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR

Team speak PTT on the d button yeah makes sence, it should be more stable using banding, since , by its nature, the bands are much wider than the actual input ..... maybe I should try a banding solution rather than mapping it straight to axis...
Brach Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I bound the zoom function to the scroll wheel on the throttle. It does not work as well as the mouse scroll wheel, but at least there is no stutter. Might be worth the try. ;)
