Nate--IRL-- Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Hey Shea, I have almost same stick. I'd recommend you build you own profile as you learn the sim. But here is what I use anyway. robnpat I have the same stick. I use the 6 buttons on the Left as Modifier buttons so that ...... Button 1 = Cannon Button 2 = Weapon Release Button 3 = Nvgs Button 5 = NWS Button 4 or 6 = China Hat Edit:- to make it clearer, Buttons 7-12 are on the base of the Joystick, 1-6 are on the stick. Hat = Slew Button 7 + Hat = Trim Button 8 + Hat = Coolie Hat Button 9 + Hat = DMS Button 10 + Hat = TMS Button 12 + Hat = CMS Button 7 + Button 2 = Master Mode cycle Button 7 + Button 3 or 4 = Zoom Button 7 + Button 5 or 6 = Speed Brakes Button 8 + Button 4 = Autopilot Button 8 + Button 3 or 5 = Boat Switch Button 9 + Button 3, 5 or 6 = Pinkie switch Button 10 + Button 3, 5 or 6 = Mic Switch Button 12 + Button 2 = CMS Z-axis This is from memory so I may have left one or two things out.

shea1980 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks Nate.will do:thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
NoJoe Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Let's see, you should map TMS, DMS, Trim Hat, Slew Hat, Coolie Hat... Naw, just kidding. :P I'd say the most important things to have mapped to the joystick are these, in approximately this order: 1. Trim hat 2. POV Hat for view control (unless you have TrackIR, then you don;t need it on the stick) 3. Slew Hat 4. Master Mode Control Button (for switching among Nav, CCIP, CCRP, and Guns modes) 5. Nosewheel Steering Button (for Nose wheel steering, laser control, air refueling disconnect) 6. Speedbrakes in and out (separate button for each) 7. China Hat forward and back 8. Wheel Brakes Or so... I'd set my joystick up like that. If you run out of buttons, the rest can be used on the keyboard. --NoJoe [EDIT] Hahaha, it took me so long to type my response that Nate chimed in before I could finish. Go with his advice! :D
leafer Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 shea, how long have u had the stick and how does it feel with DCS-A10C? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
WheelChair Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Hey Shea, I have almost same stick. I'd recommend you build you own profile as you learn the sim. But here is what I use anyway. Nate WOW NATE! Don't suppose you could pull one of these great layouts for the X52Pro out of your hat! My prob is too many buttons and not knowing what is actually necessary your info helps me with that but still how to do it is the difficult part. Wheels PS. Thanx to you I now have a layout for my 3d extreme pro should I ever need to sub it for my stick. W__
shea1980 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 shea, how long have u had the stick and how does it feel with DCS-A10C? Hi m8,i have the stick over a year,i find that it is very good for a-10 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Valtyr Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I use the same stick because my X45 just does not want to work correctly with Win 7. Anyways based off the above posted information I have created a little .doc that sits on my desk and allows me to quickly reference which side button shifts my hat on top of the stick to what mode. Hope that makes sense. Anyways, I do not have the ability to host files online. But I can e-mail you the .doc if you would like to take a look.
mooshim Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Leafer, My Islander friend... shea, how long have u had the stick and how does it feel with DCS-A10C? I concur... It's a damn good stick fer the price.--remember, Shea, to give it a healthy deadzone on all axes. (axiseses?) Leafer, God knows if they sell these things where you are. I picture you sitting in the sand, staring at a volleyball. :megalol: _________ When, in fact, you're probably living the life of luxury--having much more fun and debauchery than I could ever dream.:cry: ~Moosh :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win7 | Intel Core 2 Quad | Q8400 @ 2.66GHz | 2.67 GHz 3.37GB of RAM 60gig Samsung SSD| GTX 570 "Operation: Bull by the Horns" "Bull Run 2.0"

Razi Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks Nate. I have the same stick as OP and been having a hard time figuring out how to best configure it. This gives me a great starting point. Razi
Ashmai Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 You can get my LUA profile here... http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HTC0DF2K I snagged this, any chance you have a cheat sheet for it or any basic info on what buttons do what? Very new to the game, a bit overwhelmed. :)
Ashmai Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I'm having the hardest time setting up bindings :( I can't even tell if they work. I'm trying to bind multiple stick buttons to a single funciton, for instance I want to setup coolie hat directions to my POV on my stick (the little joystick thing). So in the Options ---- Controls page, I find "HOTAS Coolie Switch Down". I see my joystick listed in the center column, and double click it. On my joystick, I press down and it says "JOY_BTN_POV1_D" and for Add Modifier "JOY_BTN10" When I hover over the "HOTAS Coolie Switch Down" now, it says " JOY_BTN_POV1_D + JOY_BTN10 " However I think by looking at the manual, that command should change the position of my MFCD content, swapping sides.... However in game nothing happens. I can't seem to get my joystick bindings to work :(
Nate--IRL-- Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Set it to something like firing the gun so it is very clear if the keypress works. Remember also all HOTAS commands have a LONG and SHORT command, depending on how long you hold the buttons.

nick10 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Hey Shea, I have almost same stick. I'd recommend you build you own profile as you learn the sim. But here is what I use anyway. Nate Hi Nate. Any chance you could create a profile for this? I cannot for the life of me figure how to set this stuff up? Is there an actual key for Coolie hat?
