Logitech Extreme 3D Pro X3D (long post, sorry)

Good morning all, well as some of you know I recently started playing DCS BS again after being away from it for a few months (work, family etc), anyhow since the patch I really wanted to get back into the game so I have been trying to setup the above named joystick and quite frankly it is complicated.

 

The problem is I cannot get the collective to work in "game mode" the default keyboard (as you all know) is "Q" and "A" the bizzare thing is, in "real mode" the collective works? I went into settings and tried to see what joystick button/lever the game had assigned to collective in real mode and not game mode. Problem is the settings for collective apart from the "+" and "-" is blank so I cannot even copy what keys it may have assigned, follow me so far?

 

The game in real mode must have assigned some joystick setting as it works, yet in game mode seems to not use the same joystick setting. This tells me that the collective can be used as the game is already using it in the real mode setting.

 

I then tried to assign the joystick settings for game mode for the collective and no lie, there must be 30 keys/buttons/levers to choose from (from the drop down menu) :cry: I have no idea which (apart from the obvious buttons 1-4) if anyone else has this joystick, have you been able to assign a lever to collective for the "game mode setting" and if so could you please tell me which binding it is (from the drop down list). I need to know which two you chose.

 

Sorry for the rather long winded, cluster thread, just difficult to explain any other way, basically can someone help me with this as I really want to use the lever on the joystick for collective in game mode.:joystick:

 

Whoever helps, when they see the list of keys from the drop down menu for this joystick you will understand my struggle, I was sort of hoping there might have been a joystick file one could download for this game, after all the joystick is considered one of the better joysticks, you know like configs etc?

 

Hope to hear from someone soon.

 

Cheers:thumbup:

Open Single-Player and Navigate to Options/Ka-50 Game/Controls and click on Axis Commands from the Drop-Down menu at the top.

 

You'll see the following:

 

 

Now stand on the Collective Block under your Flightstick block (As per mine which reads 'Cougar HOTAS') and press 'Clear'.

 

Then press 'Add' and move your lever on your Flightstick forward and backwards. Will automatically assign your axis for you (usually JOY_Z). Close and you're done.
