Axis-Tune not Activating in BS

[JHzlwd]

There is doubtless a simple answer to this but I cannot discover it. I recently called up Options/Controls with the objective of making some fine adjustments to the axis controls on the Saitek X52 Pro I am using. I never had any problem with this before but now "Axis-Tune" is always unlit and unavailable even if an Action such as "Cyclic nose up" is chosen. If I open the panel to "ADD" a control from the stick, only the list of buttons is shown, not any of the sliders, rotaries or stick motions. Formerly they were all there as options that could be chosen. It is as if all controls with non-discrete settings are blocked. I called up the Saitek profiler and it responds to all controls so it seems unlikely the stick is not reporting some controls. The BS simulation responds correctly to all stick controls in flight.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Best wishes,

I was just tuning my axis controls last night and ran into what you described.

 

I don't have access to the game at the moment so am going from memory, but I went into the command list and found the group that controls flight inputs - it's something like command axes or something. Once you select that group, the axis-tune will become lit and you can fine tune the desired axis. My joystick has a twist grip with about a 10 deg slop around neutral (the springs have worn down and don't return the grip to exactly center). I created a deadband to account for this. Hope this helped.

Of course! Worked right away. It is "Axis Commands". I recall it now from a few weeks ago.

 

Much thanks for jogging my memory.
