A question to all X52 pro users...

[luza]

Where have you programmed your trim? I tried to program the time to my throttle rotary bands, to little avail :cry: :

 

I'm loving my x52 pro. I finaly got my profiles set up for FC2 (working to perfect them as I learn more). I decided I wanted to set the trim to the twisting bands on the throttle.

 

I start by setting the bands to directional Axis. Then I bind Trim up and down on one of them (Rctrl + .) (Rctrl + . Then I do the same for the other, but with the trim right and left (Rctrl + /) (Rctrl +,). I test it out using Test Profile, it works fine. I load up the game, load the profile, and it refuses to work ingame.

 

I tried binding a band to G for landing gear, to see if the band even worked, this seemed to work fine. I try to remap the trim buttons in LOMAC FC2, to different key combinations, and then profiling it in the editor, works fine in test, then still no dice.

 

Please I really need :helpsmilie:

 

Much love,

Luza

I use the lower hat on stick. Throttle rotaries are twitchy. I use trim only for russian birds and A-10, though.

 

Check if Force Feedback is disabled on producer.cfg, this gives troubles with trim if left on.

[thaFunkster]

Yeah I did the same as you luza a while back and discovered you just cant program trim to the rotaries.

 

I use the upper hat and the lower hat for view. It works much better on the hat.

[luza]

So it's not possible to program trim to the rotaries? Glad it's not just me with this problem! Will try what you suggest Jack, will reply when I've tried it

[luza]

hey jack had a look in that file you said it looked like this :

ForceFeedbackEnabled = true;

 

ForceTrackIR3ProZoomAxisToXAxis = true;

 

 

Do i change it to?

 

ForceFeedbackEnabled = false;

 

ForceTrackIR3ProZoomAxisToXAxis = true;

[luza]

? I'm kind of noob at code stuff xD

i use throttle trimmers, set axis trim to 10-100-100 and curv 40... bit more smoother trim

I use a hat to trim the Su-25 and Su-25T and the throttle rotaries for the A-10A (don't fly the fast boys). TIR frees up the hat for trim.

[luza]

Sorry what is TIR?

 

Sarge how did you get throttle rotaries to work, I tried disabling force feedback, still not working with rotataries, they just make my stick go balistic and not do any commands at anytime when I bind trim to them :<

Sorry what is TIR?

I just use buttons A & 8 for trim respectively. The upper tophat I use for target slewing and the lower for view.

I actually did not use the Saitek software to program the trim. Instead I just mapped the rotaries directly in the simulation. The thing with FC2 is that you have to map this for every aircraft you fly seperately, as each aircraft has a seperate configuration file.

I´m using the lower hat on Mode 2(Navigation and Flight mode) for trim. Works pretty well as it´s more precise for tiny adjustments. In Mode 1(AttackMode) this hat is assigned for the shkval or other targeting systems.

[deadsmell]

I use the Mouse wheel on the front side of the throttle. Up and down.

[Sarge55]

Ah, sorry Luza. My bad, I forgot I programmed them in game for the A-10.

[HiJack]

Check my guide to set up trhrottle wheels for the A-10A
