delta7 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Dazza - you will need the profiling software to make it work - go to UBI forums and find a post by tully - in community help section is best - and in his sig there are links to profiles- this will help you get started. he has instructions on what button does what in the download. he has good instructions in www.airwarfare.com in guide section for setting up sticks in general good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted March 30, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The X52 will use the programming software, and it is worth getting your head round using it and programming it - or at the very least getting a copy of Tully's profile I think you will need to install the drivers. What colour lampshade did you get for it? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ok all you X52 pros, I figured I would would ask this here since Dazza might also want to know as well. When Using the Stick programing software, Do you first map all of the functions to the keyboard in the SIM, and then tell the Profiler what button goes to what key? :scratch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAZZA Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Aye thats how ive done it the advantage of that is that you can assign a single joystick button to several different commands. For example ive got the big E button assigned to views but if i use the pinky shift then it becomes brake. dont ask me why, ive got some strange combinations, but im just working through what suits me best. the other night I found out that having my airbrake for the p38 next to the bomb release button but on a pinky shift was needing just a bit too much manual dexterity. havent really bothered with the different modes yet. Mode 1 is for everything, although Mode 2 is gradually becoming a kind of 'shit im in trouble' mode, with fire extinguishers, prop feathers and stuff a good tip i came across for views is assigning one of the POV hats to mouse view to look around, and then making the pinky shift mode slightly less sensitive for mouse so that you can exercise fine control looking around if you click that in although if you have TIR this is a moot point.

Arsenal Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I got an X52 as well, and finally sat down and attempted to program all of the buttons. I was doing pretty well until my brain caught on fire. Deciding what button will do what and when is not exactly an easy undertaking, not to mention this stick feels totally different from my old Sidewinder that's 10 years old. I look forward to dying more than usually in the coming days, but I can already see that eventually, I will be better off than with my old stick.

JensenPark Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Far be it from me to be a hypocrite and ask for a serious answer, but: has anyone upgraded from the X45 to X52? Is it really worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Quazi did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 If anyone is interested, lets use the FTP to host our different profiles for the x52 - I'd like to see how other people are using their buttons and tweak things. If you do decide to upload it, call the profile "IL-2 " so we know who's who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there were some kind of electronic way to send messages...or some thingy I could speak into that would allow him to hear on the other end. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait till I see him face to face again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
