McBlemmen Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I got mysellf a X52 pro a few days ago , and i'm getting used to it in DCS world with the SU25t before i spend money on A10c , it all worked fine untill suddenly the pinkie modifier stopped working. At first , it stopped picking up the pinkie button when in the control options , then somehow i got it to work in the control options again , but in-game it still doesnt pick up when i push the button anyone know how to fix this? thanks Oh , and yes i have set it as a modifier in the settings. Now it basically allows me to use it as a modifier when binding keys , but ingame it doesnt do anything.
TimeKilla Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Have you tried just programming inside the SST instead of the in-game control options as you will lose a'lot of different modes. 1 :joystick: YouTube :pilotfly: TimeKilla on Flight Sims over at YouTube.

Do the places you have used that modifier look correct or are they red now? Sometimes DCS controller config files get corrupted for unknown reasons, which is what this is sounding like. 1 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

ptako Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I've noticed such behavoiur when I was experimenting with my Saitek. What I've found was that you have choice: - use game settings and defining pinkie as modifier, but witout loading any SST profile. - use SST profile but don't use pinkie s modifier in game settings. When i tried to mix these approaches pinkie just stopped working during gameplay. I didn't try to setup a new, clear SST profile and then go to game settings and then define pinkie as modifier. Maybe it's worth trying. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] -- "The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good shit.

Nope , nothing is red , it just doesnt pick up the pinkie key as an actual keypress Oh and after reading the replies , i disabled my SST profile , and now it doesnt even pick up the pinkie button when trying to bind it. Weird thing is , it doesnt even see it as a key. When trying to set a new modifier, if i go to the list of all buttons on my X52 , the pinkie key (wich is button 6) isnt even in the list... how weird. Going to try to bind it trough a SST profile now
McBlemmen Posted June 2, 2013 Author Posted June 2, 2013 Well. After i closed my SST profiler , i couldnt find a way to start it up again so i relogged into windows , and that fixed it. Very strange bug , but i'm glad i dont have to make a saitek profile. Thank you for all your help and the very fast replies.
Shahdoh Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I have a Saitek x52 pro and was having a simular problem with the pinkie button. Then I noticed that the screw that you loosen to adjust the height of the handle was loose. I tightened that back up and its been fine ever since. 1 thing to notice, when you press the pinkie button, can you feel it "click"? I couldn't until I tightened that screw.

I noticed that aswell when i JUST got it (it literally just arrived) first thing i did was try to make the handle a little smaller and i noticed the pinkie button didnt click anymore , that kinda sucks. Thats not the problem i was having here tough , but maybe it can help someone with that problem who reads this.
cichlidfan Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) If things continue to act strange, it might be wise to completely reset all of your control configurations back to default. The best way to do this is to delete your ..\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input folder. This will reset everything related to any controller including keyboard and also reset your modifiers file.
