Zooly Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Can someone help in the profile department please as there are a heck of a lot of buttons and my head is beginning to hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I bound almost everything in-game, about the only thing I had to bind was my teamspeak transmit key(the "clutch" button, center of small wheel, left thumb) Another extra: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted June 17, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Zooly, a big part of a profile with any stick comes before doing anything with the stick software and that is deciding what you want the stick/hotas to do and assign the keys in the game to the actions your buttons etc are going to perform. Once this has been done the software can be used to make your profile. This is a very personalised process and, even when set up, will more than likely be changed at a whim every so often. However, attached are my IL2 personal settings and my X52pro profile that you may wish to use as a basis. Happy assigning settings.ini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooly Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Its a lot to take in initially due to the vast amount of possible control configs but I'm getting there (with thanks Perfesser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 17, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I am however confused as to why some buttons dont seem to be configurable like the E and i buttons on the throttle section (in game control section). Dunno m8, I have been able to configure the E button, but the clutch (I) button is locked out. Just out of interest would it be possible to to use my previous joystick with the throttle section?

Perfesser Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I had no problem with the E button. Just went to WEP power and bound it. The clutch I did play with, it's bound to F7 in my profile above and I use that as TS transmit. If you forget to load the profile it doesn't work, sometimes I jabber away for minutes before I clue in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'll suggest something here. Leave all the actual game controls default and build your stick profile to manipulate the default settings. That way you can still fall back to the default keys on the keyboard if need be. I made the mistake years ago, to manipulate IL2 as I had CFS1, and CFS2 Then got used to it, and have been off beat ever sense. Here is a couple of screen shots of my X-45 before I added the Microsoft stick. They might grease the gears abit for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 in the 2 years ive owned an x52 and now the pro version, ive never used the profiler software, i just assign all the important ones in-the game, and then map the rest to the keyboard, keyboard is in the middle of my throttle and stick so its always easy to slap a few button on the keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 So then you must use voice activation for comms? The main reason I used the profiler originally was to get my comms on the stick, so I didn't have to reach to talk. And Voice activation is a tricky deal with allot of background noise. I had small kids then and lots of TV and house dogs barking. in the 2 years ive owned an x52 and now the pro version, ive never used the profiler software, i just assign all the important ones in-the game, and then map the rest to the keyboard, keyboard is in the middle of my throttle and stick so its always easy to slap a few button on the keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooly Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 the more I learn about the x52 the more my head hurts, I guess I need a few hours to actually get my head around all the possible control configurations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
