SFJackBauer's Saitek X-52 Profile

[shu77]

Do you have the profile loaded? I recall the profile binds it to ;:'" or there abouts, so if you were to open notepad and slew you should see those keys appear in notepad

[Demits]

I see them in notepad, but not in the game, when I use the mini stick? I have the profile loaded. Should I set it back to default?

Perhaps try a quick remap of the slew controls in the game options. Click on the keyboard input for Slew left, click clear click add, move the slew stick left, check you get the same key, then rinse and repeat for the others. I recall that the profile also uses bands to simulate slew slow and slew fast, check that it changes when you move the stick a little left, and then a lot left. .

[Demits]

Hi, again. Thanks for the advice. I'll try that and let you know if it works:)

[Demits]

I tried to re-map with success. The issue is that the slew control will only work for a couple of minutes, until it becomes unresponsive. If I minimize the game and open the profile editor for the X52 and re-enter the game, it will work again for a couple of minutes. I am really baffled at what is causing this. Perhaps the Saitek software? One thing I have noticed is that if I choose the "Clear Profile" setting, the program stops responding. Moreover, if I unplug the HOTAS while the computer is running, I receive the blue screen of death.

 

Am I the only one having this issue? Could I change some settings, or install something that will stop the program from acting up and allow me to use all HOTAS controls in the game, without having to enter the Saitek program?

 

edit: Here are my system specs

 

Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit

Intel core i5

4GB RAM

Radeon HD5850

Sounds like a bad instance of SST or your profil. Try creating a new profile tha tjus thas the hat controls in it, see if that works. If it does then its a bad profile, if it doesnt try reinstalling SST and see what that does

[ryyy]

Awesome profile Jack! Question though, I cannot get the twist rudder on the stick to work. I tried to go into the game to Flight Controls and bind the twist rudder to the rudder controls but it is not letting me bind any controls in that section for the X52 Pro device. Can anyone help?

x52 SST freeze problem with this profile

 

the mouse wheel down (boat switch) is the cause for the SST freezing up. (button name too long for the mfd)

 

Solution i came up with: in dcs a-10 delete the fields for the saitek buttons for boat switch.

 

In SST assign the keyboard buttons that command boat to the mouse wheel. The mouse wheel functions will now be called "untitled 9" or whatever. And this fits in the mfd.

 

Maybe you can change button names in SST easier, but i havent found out how.

Hi guys another noob here trying to learn to fly the A-10. And for the life of me I cannot get this profile to work properly. I am currently rolling with the X52 pro and have had some inital sucess with the .lua file but I have no idea where the .pr0 file is ment to end up. 5 have been reading that it needs to go into the saitek profiler (tray icon besides Windows clock) but I cant seem to find this anywhere....

[Striker121]

Jack's profile really is awesome, but as a newbie learning to play, where it differs really matters D: For many of the keys, due to complex naming systems in-game, I can't set them to match shu77's easily readable profile. Anyone mind making a new PDF with all of SFJackBauer's settings or alternatively shu77, could you upload your .lua file of keybinds?

[Monti]

Ive used this awesome profile initially with dcs A10C 1.1.0.9 german, and installed 1.1.1.1 english a few moments ago. Im not able to import the lua file properly in 1.1.1.1, eg. pinky switch and other stuff isnt working. Anyone out there with a hint for me ? anyone got it work with 1.1.1.1 ?

[Coutie]

I'm in the same boat as above.

[Rocky49]

Please note from Wags post reguarding lastest patch

 

Note: v1.1.1.1 will break any joystick or keyboard config that uses custom modifier keys - It is a simple fix to re-add the Custom Modifier Key to the Modifier list.

 

Hope this makes it clear what happened

[Coutie]

I added Button 6(Pinkie Switch on X-52) to the modifiers list, I guess that is what you are alluding to, but it doesn't fix it, for me anyways. I will keep experimenting and try to get it working.

[Rocky49]

Did you ensure that the drop down list in the upper left side, just to the right of the label Aircraft, says A-10 Sim not Free Camera?

 

This is on the options page, with the tab, Control, highlighted on the top. Did you clip on the any of the spaces below the Saiteck X52 Pro tab? Try that you should be able to clip on the Load Profile tab and the load profile page should come up you just need to steer the path to the location of your saved input option file (lau)

 

Hope this helps

[Monti]

ive solved my problem to import Jacks Profile:

 

- ive deleted the DCS Warthog directory under /users/saved games

- started a10 1.1.1.1

- selected Options/Controls, A-10C SIM and ALL

- choosed Modifiers and added JOY_BTN6 (Pinkie Switch for X52)

- selected first entry in row Saitex X52 Flight Controller

- choosed Load Profile and loaded the lua from Jack

 

After that the profile was working fine. Don´t know what i did wrong first time, my modifier wasnt accepted even though correctly displayed

 

Hopefully this helps a little for you others, who got the same probs.

You are one smart guy! Thanks!

Glad to help...

Ok - I am learning ALOT here about this flight controller system...I think I know what is confusing so many people from the start.

 

Having NEVER had to reconfigure a flight controller or any other piece of hardware for a specific game or function (and this game is trickier than most) I was totally lost. The instructions seemed to be clear cut but they really aren't for those of us who have never done anything like it.

 

Example - I kept having problems getting DCS A-10C recognizing the pinkie button on the joystick as a sort of shift command. I tried for hours to figure it out...but the instructions were buried in this thread...

 

I wouldn't be able to do it - but maybe if someone could produce a sort of "Dummies Guide" with step by step procedures for making the profile work (And I am not criticizing anyone for all the great work done here....There is no way I could -)..... For some of us the terminology and steps just don't make sense - and it has nothing to do with intelligence or ability either.

 

I guess the best thing to do for now - for anyone else who is currently having a problem (remember this thread is over a year old now - Read through the whole thread at least once ( yeah I know - IT'S HUGE) - but I bet you will find most of your answers that way faster.

Is the X52 pro link on page 4 updated? if it is not does anyone else have an updated version?

[Shein]

This is *exactly* what I was looking for. Just got an X-52 for christmas... bravo!

Your feedback and testing is warmly welcomed!

 

ENJOY!!!! :pilotfly:

 

regarding the Funcion / Start.Stop, and Reset on the Saitek MFD

My Saitek stick is the X52 Pro, btw,, but no difference, I think, as far as the MFD display use here..

 

How do we program those function, as my understanding is the you need the plugin from MS FS X to use the Comm stack on the display?

 

there is an SDK a person with programming skills can use, but is there a plugin in the free download that can be used for anyone to use these features? To use the comms/radio in the MFD display and keys in A-10C and my Saitek X52 Pro.. the SDK for use with MS FS X comes in the Saitek install drivers, but that is for programmers... but in this profile, it looks like it should just work, without doing anything? what is needed?

 

Thanx,

:joystick:

Nice profile, thanks a lot for share it!

[Ratfink]

I used the X52 Pro version from page 4 of this thread, and from SST I got BSOD "Bad_Pool_Caller".

 

After a quick Google, I discovered the solution is to keep profile names to less than 15 chars. When I renamed it to "DCS A10.pr0" it was fine.

[Humvee28]

Thanks for this Profile. Helped me a lot to start with my new old X52 Pro. :)

 

I´ve edited it only slightly :

 

- Speedbrake open / close on Rotary 2

 

- Flaps up / down on Rotary 1

 

- Gear up / down on Clutch Button
