Saitek X52 Zoom in Bombsight

[dashed]

Except for the autodecal with X52, it is coming together.  How ever, when I F6 to bombsight the zoom won't work.  I use the D on throttle, and the I thumbwheel for zoom, and it works, albeit with the Saitek shudder, in all the views and gunner position.  When I bomb, I have to click the D, look at map, click, rotate wheel, click to see new zoom setting, click to adjust, etc, etc.

Anyone else had or have this?  Anybody found a fix?  I was on powered hub, then went to machine USB (very large PS and set USB controller to nonsleep), but can't find an answer here or at Saitek.

BTW, already looking at getting CH, so no need to suggest.

The way i have mine set up is, I use the C button on joystick to toggle zoom and the slider on throttle for field of view. When I calibrate, I calibrate the slider also leaving it in the midway point when I'm done. That way when I toggle zoom I'm at default setting and have half more slider to zoom in all the way if need be.

I see no reason why your setup won't work the same way if you calibrate the wheel you use for field of view and leave it in midway point when finished calibrating.

Is the zoom mapped in your SST software? If it is then its likely SST just doesnt like the keys the zoom is mapped to. Mine was the same way and I had to switch the zoom keys to two key other then what the game has them mapped to.

Go into the game, free up two keys "I think Italics is what they are mapped to default", and then map them to your wheel in SST. I bet it then works.

My zoom buttons are mapped to the T-switches. All works wonderfully
