Streak Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 After a couple of days trying unsuccessfully to create one from scratch. I'm throwing in the towel before I totally lose it & throw the computer. So now I have to ask. Does anyone have an X-52 profile for flying bombers & running the bomb-sight, ext. that you'd be willing to send my way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I still haven't set mine up, if I do before Hell freezes over and we all die from the next plague I will be more than happy to end it too ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, this really seems like it's going to be a PITA. I'm giving-up for now. If I have an itch to fly a Betty or something, I'll stick thumb out window, check sun-dial & drop em at random. Just call me Captain Collateral Damage!

Rattler Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I use a bomb release on the throttle on my X45, and the rest of the bomb comtrols are on keyboard. Sorry for whacking you last night in your P-38: didn't know it was you (and probably wouldn't have stopped anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I could take a crack at it for you, Greenstreaks. Just let me know what keys you want mapped to what buttons. Or I could just take the liberty of mapping it the way I would do it. Up to you, mate Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarman68 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Shadow what driver version are you running for your x52 and SST software, your picture of the data view for creating profiles is green mine's a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonar Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I tried and ended up with a few Conflicts trying to have Mode #2 be Bomber. then I got pissed and went back to the keyboard for bombing since I am not flying when I am dropping from 28,000'.

That's the exact problem I ran into. Think I'll be running my commands from the keyboard too. BTW. Thanks for the offer Shadow, but I don't want anyone to have to create it just for me. I was just wondering if anyone had already set one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I really didn't like all the blind spots the 38 has. I never knew I was being engaged until tracers started whizzing past me from behind. Then I just couldn't seem to get the thing to accelerate away like it should be able to & if I tried to turn or maneuver much at all, I'd stall-out or lose airspeed & lift. I really am my worst enemy when trying to shake an enemy plane. Any suggestions or were you to busy laughing? #1: I spotted and tracked you first. #2: We merged (at a great deal of altitude, I might add - not usual territory for an A6M5), and I picked you up on the fly by, and you didn't. #3: You did not manoeuver afterwards, and I saw you slightly above me. I got into your low 6 o'clock, and slowly snuck up behind to point blank. It was so close, you had no chance. The only way to avoid those engagements in the future is to have a wingman, or, what I often do is listen for other planes coming in. I can usually hear an enemy plane approaching, unless he's really booming me from on high. You were by yourself, and I saw you first. I'm also quite used to picking up dots on full real servers now, and that helps. I was so close, you were toast. On the very next sortie, I came across Gryphon in his P-47, and blasted him into bits - 38% bullets hit, and his fuel tank exploded! (I'm normally around 4-5% bullets hitting the target.) If you're that close, there's not much chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I worked on my profile some last night but I'm getting a bunch of lag in the button press, so I'm going to try some tricks maybe tonight or tomorrow. I have been meaning to do this anyway so your not putting me out at all, your post actually gave me just the push I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yep I can pick-up dots fairly well, but have trouble identifying friend or foe until I'm very close (some day I'll upgrade from a laptop with 14" screen) or they start shooting at me. Plus as you said, anyone is usually at a disadvantage flying solo & I didn't immediately recognise anyone to try buddy-up with when I got on last evening. Oh well, that's also why my pilot is a skeleton. Kill me all you want, but I will keep coming back for more. Enjoy the target practice.

BadAim Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have my x52 profile for IL2 working pretty well, so I uploaded it to the web sight It's in Downloads under Chet's x52 profile. I hope it helps. Enjoy P.S. don't forget to read the text, you need to assign several keys in game to make this work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeye Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 The x52 is almost a blessing and an albatross at the same time. SO many buttons, so much confusion, yet so many ways to do stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
