need help with SU-25t and X65f

[cndAlterEgo]

Hello everyone

 

First of all I have to say that this site is tremendous. A lot of users and it seem to have a lot of help. Also I am amaze at the quality of the planes in DCS.

 

But to my point

 

I just bought a saitek x65F controller and I need some help with configuring it and have the demo plane Su-25t working with it.

 

When I try to fly I cannot roll, turn or do anything beside doing a node dive. I have look at the axis configuration but I guess since I am new and a bit confuse on how to, and what to do. So as long as I can get the axis to work I will be able to figure out the rest.

 

Basicaly I would like to see how this joystick and soft is working together before I invest more money in that flight sim. If it works fine then i will buy all the expansion and hope to see you in the battlefield.

 

Thanks for you help in this matter.

No problems with X65f in DCS, I am having the same config. You don't need to waste time with Saitek SST software, creating and tuning profiles. As it was mentioned you can do everything withing the game configuration, axis assignments, axis tuning, setting modifiers (kind the same as pinkies in SST), assigning functions to joy buttons etc. Be advised to give some exponential to the pich/roll/yaw in order to get smooth controls, instead of full linear aggressive axis assingments :)

And I did notice that the linear control was a bit rough. I guess I will need to experiment to get it right.

 

And this joystick also need some getting us to.

 

What are you feeling with it after using it for longer then me?

Pain. After two years of using an X-65F, I bought a Warthog. I haven't looked back since.

 

Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so darned jittery with sensitive control settings. It also desperately needs a setup like in the F-16, where you can tell exactly what direction your inputs are going before you move the plane.

I am fully satisfied with the X65f after more than 2 years of simming together :) It is very precise, but true, everyone should get used to it after a traditional joy. Mine is used at F3 force setting, with decreased X (roll) axis force with one unit. In the game options I use the following settings for axis pitch and roll: 5-100-100-30. For the rudder I use Saitek rudder pedals with the ingame setting of 10-100-100-35 for yaw axis. I hope that can give you a baseline for finding the right configuration for yourself. If you need help drop me a PM.

Thanks for you input. But I don't have the pedal yet. Will see first how I get use to this JS. Also I need to finish my chair so it's not too high and too far apart on my desk. Right now using this on my desk is a real pain. So when finish the JS and throttle will be the extension of the chair arms.

 

Also I just bought lock on from UBIsoft and I hope this is not what FC3 look like cause I was very disapointed. Talking about FC3, on this web site it tell us that it is a beta release, but is it a playable beta release? If so I will buy it.

 

And again thanks for your help. I will experiment with your baseline and go from there.

Your welcome. FC3 can be bought via ED's webshop or you scroll up this page and click on the FC3 icon.

It will get you there.

FC3 looks like DCS World because it just adds the Flaming Cliffs aircraft to DCS World as flyables.
