thats the way i shall be making any future tweaks, rest assured !

Having been looking at Darts training videos during the week I decided to modify my rudder setting. I currently fly with all 100's and do sometimes find it "twitchy" on straffing and bombing runs. Dart explains in his videos that you should not use the rudder at all on approach to such attacks. The upshot of this is that I used IL2Sticks to change my rudder setting to a smooth curve. I updated the conf.ini file and left it at that. Last night (Thursday) I settled into to the much looked forward to session, only to find that both the rotary dials on the throttle were not working. Klinger very kindly agreed to help sort it out and I must appologise for taking up his valuable flying time. The dials worked OK via the Control Panel/Game devices/properties. But when in the HOTAS section of the in-game controls set-up, I could click on a field e.g prop pitch but then turning the rotary gave no response. The other inputs were recognozed, throttle and flaps on the slider. I re-booted - same problem I unplugged and re-plugged the x52 - same problem I removed the stick via the device manager and re-installed it - same problem I had a look at the conf.ini file and found that there was a blank line between the settings for the rotarys and the other input axis. I took out the line (one assumes put there by il2sticks for some reason?) the dials then worked.......but the joystick buttons did'nt. Having first made a back-up of my profile, I uninstalled the sst software and tried to re-install it. Put the cd in but nothing happened. Downloaded the files form the saitek website, still nothing installed. Ran a registry cleaner and removed all entries for Saitek Tried again with the install of drivers and sst software. This time it all went ok and the X52 is now fully functional. Any one else tried using il2sticks when the x52 is plugged in?

I would always be happy to run another session if any one wants.

Salute Sir! Many happy returns of the day.

for tir4 re-centre i have the lefthand hat on the joystick at the up position. i am sure that when assigning the key in the tir software, it recognized the key press from the joystick.

only trouble is Badaim, computer programming was one of my skills, but has been woefully underused of late. but i am quite pragmatic, i will keep plugging away at something until i get it doing what i want, hence the upteen layout changes LOL!

No, lights are still on their own key, I had already thought of that one !

For those of you that are wise to the wonders of sst programming please excuse someone who is just finding it out for the first time.

@Greenstreaks, if you really do need to find where some of the dials are, have a look on disc 2 of the 1946 set. On there you will find a pdf document which has all the cockpits and a layout guide. Cheers Friar

An excellent post cg, factual and concise. It was well written with good detail, but best of all, so dam funnnnnnny :k9lmao:

Just to muddy the waters, I run my track ir off a usb hub which is plugged into my keyboard with no problems..

Wow !

English through and through

i have absolutly no idea what you guys are talking about

Its in bronze link fro more information here http://www.bbm.org.uk/pressimages.htm

i'm inclined to agree with delta7

A link to pictures of what happened when final pre-delivery ground tests of the new airbus went slight wrong...... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/fligh ... hotos.html

Ok roger, thanks, did you get my latest communication by the way?

How does 2pm Central, 8pm GMT sound for anybody Meet on team speak, if others are flying we can always use one of the other rooms.

i could be persuaded to be naughty with her if she insisted.....

whats central to gmt, then perhaps we can work something out that suits us both. once you have got the basics, and it wont take long, you will see what the fmb has to offer.

If there is anyone who has never dabbled with the FMB and is interested to see what it is all about, I would be happy to hold a begginers class on Saturday evening for a while. The FMB is a great tool for knocking up little missions that can be flown like the Quick Mission Builder. Except that you have a wider choice of maps and scenarios that be pre-programed.

I have been looking into using the sst software, to see what effect it has on my game and machine, and to see if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Am I correct in thinking that i need to assign a keyboad command to all the functions in game first, then using the sst software, assign these keys to the stick? I downloaded the il2 profile form the saitek webside and this is what it seemed to suggest. Cheers Colin.
