X52 problem

[6./ZG26_Loke]

On my throttle there is a few buttons I can't use, as if the game does not "see" them when I try to map them in the setup.

Now I have upgraded to latest driver which did help on the problem with CloD would not see the controls at all. But now also lost one "key" on the joystick. The lower trikker, which is still mapped in the setup. Seems dead now, and I use it for breaking in the Pe-2.

Any one else who had these problems?

Check joysticks control panel in windows. You can access it by right clicking the saiteks profiler icon in taskbar. Here you can also test all buttons.

 

Now un-tick the clutch-mode and you should be able to use all buttons on your throttle.

By lower trigger do you mean pinkie switch? I think it doesn't function like a normal button. I had mine pinkie button binded as Shift in Saitek profiler and then it could be used as regular button.

 

Or maybe you have some problems with wires inside your joystick. My throttle buttons do not work at certain positions.

S! Remontti.

 

All buttons response in the Saitek flight controller, and the clutch-mode was already un-ticked.

 

Yes the Pinkie switch, the one which is labelled as VVS Breaks in the pic.

The one not responding on the throttle (in game) is the "Re-load all guns".

 

Since all buttons work in the flight controller, it gotta be the game which can't "see" the button, I assume.

Try binding those buttons to keyboard presses in Saiteks profiler and see if you can then bind them in BOS. I'm out of solutions if that doesn't work.

I agree with Remontti. When in the BoS SETTINGS; we'll use the "Main Controls" tab as an example, the column on the far left contains the default settings. Lets say you want to use one of those throttle buttons for the landing gear. (Key "G" in the left column.)  You must go into the Saitek, (Madcatz) "Profiler" software and map the "G" key to the button. Be sure to name, save and launch this profile before you launch the sim. Now when you use that button on the throttle, the software "sees" it as pressing the "G" key and will move the gear.

 

I had used that pinkie in BoS as the "Reload Weapons" button without issue.

Down with the flu, I'll be back later.
