Help - how do I use X52 profiles with DCS?

[The_Pharoah]

hi guys

 

Apologies if this is elsewhere but could someone please help me understand how to use an x52 profile with DCS (for the A10C). I found and downloaded some x52 profiles off the DCS main website but am unsure how to make them work ie. I've loaded one into the profiles (SST icon was green) - do I then delete all the x52 joystick settings in DCS?

Yes, you need to clear the column for the X-52. Make sure you do it for the correct mode. The in game profiles are separate for game and sim mode.

I kept away from SST, had lots of issues and I programmed them directly into DCS.

 

You can set a modifier, press the pinky, and then you can use every hat and button twice.

 

I only have the pro but managed to map it pretty well, i found I never used the mic functions on the hotas so didnt programme it and then there were enough positions.

 

I also dont have trackir yet so still used one HAT for POV.

 

And didnt use the mode 1 / 2 or 3.

okay so I load up a profile in SST, go into DCS and remove all X52 joystick configs and I'm good to go?
