SU-27 Saitek x52 Pro Mapping/profile help

[terror]

Hello everybody,

I am having a hard time configuring my x52 pro. I wondered if any of you people know where to get a profile, or if anybody could explain to me which functions i should map to my joystick. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

some of the things you will want

trim for all flight surfaces
radar slew and lock
radar sub modes (theres 3 depending on target aspect angle will effect detection range)
radar tilt, range and on/off.
EOS on and off
weapon fire
weapon selection
view reset (unless trackIR)


some of what im calling them wont match up as im going on memory.

on base of throttle you will want to map the modes that are on the number keys by default.

to map everything on X52 you should set the pinky button on stick to a modifer key so you can map JOY6 + another button or hat. i use this to have throttle hat act as the radar tilt and radar slew (depending if i lm holding pinky button in.)

same with if you need POV hat to double as a trim hat.

hope this helps out, sorry no one offered you any help previously this place is usually great for helping hand.

cheers.

oh one other thing worth mentioning X52 mouse stick emulates the mousr once driver is installed correctly so you can use this to look around. its a huge boon to put looking around off the stick and onto the throttle, i use programming software to adjust the ministick to be more responsive and then program the wheel on top of throttle to act as tho 1 rotation forward or back acts as if i did it twice allowing for a bit better zooming. whatever you do tho only use the programming utility to supplement the Dcs binds.... do not use the software to map everything unless you want windows going nuts cause a slider was left half way and its pressing keyboard buttons in windows.

obviously trackIR or VR destroys this method as its a much better way to look around then the mouse.
