I have not tried SST but when I contacted their support people I had the feeling I knew more about their product than they did. I value FSU because I can set the stick sensitivity using the slope command. I have enough difficulty remembering the commands for 2 Modes so I think 6 (with the "pinkie") would be too much. It is a fag and I am not sure if I will continue with it. In my case I have set all my basic commands in Mode 1 using the normal FSUIPC window, then go into the FSUIPC.INI file and change the script from P0,2,C#,9 to CP(+0,28)0,2,C#,9 The other downside is that if you want to go this route you need to insert all the Mode "bit" into all the commands (i.e. Line 9 means "In Mode 2 pressing button 7 pan the view down" I have no idea what the difference between 0 and 9 is. I could then make button 7 in Mode 2 have a different function i.e.ĩ=Compound Repeat(Joystick no, Mode 2) Joystick button no i.e 0,7, FSX command no C65735,0 The last 9 is, I am told, a "command parser". "In Mode 1 pressing joystick button 7 toggles the spoilers". In my set up this means the instruction in line 8 is The actual script is 8=CP(+0,27)0,7,C65589,9Ĩ=Compound Pulse(Joystick no, Mode 1) Joystick button no i.e 0,7, FSX command no C65589,9 Item#=CP(+0,27)0,Button#,Command#,9 (Note there are no spaces in the script) The other downside is that if you wish to use the 3 modes you have to use the script for all 3 Modes. I now have a shortcut to the X52 Devices & Controllers screen and then manually open the Properties window before starting FSX, a minor irritaton but it means I can use FSUIPC. Close the window and they are switched off. The address of the post is īasically what he found was that if you open the Saitek X52 properties window and LEAVE IT OPEN whilst flying FSX the mode switch and a couple of buttons on the throttle now work. It is reported as "Interesting discovery vis-a-vis Saitek "Mode" switch" which can be found in Pete D's site. There is a rather odd work around which was found by Gypsy Baron. Then I fall out of the sky as all the alarms go off, and all hell breaks loose - then I die: alone, cold and miserable. There are also a number of other useful functions of FSUIPC, like weather smoothing and my favourite "Disconnect elevator and throttle axes when AP is ON", The latter is invaluable, as many of my a/c will cut off the AP if I so much as touch the trims. although I've not managed to get that working yet. To be honest, it's no big deal, as the real benefit of FSUIPC, is getting the various axies (axis's, axes ? !!! Doh !), calibrated correctly for each plane on an indivdual basis. The only way is to use FSUIPC for setting up the axis - elevator, rudders, throttles etc, and you can save "Aircraft Specific" settings using this.īut, for the buttons and general commands, you need to use the SST software I'm afraid, if you want the 3 different (and pinkie = 6) modes. BUT, Peter D is correct that you cannot program the X52 completely with FSUIPC.
