Well, I hope to bust the typical GD rants with something constructive.... lol. I figured we are seeing some new names and one of the things I did, as a new guy, was ping folks on how they set up their rig. So, here is how I have my X-52 pro set up:
Throttle Quad:
Airplane GV
Throttle: Throttle Range for adjustable sights
Hat: Flaps up/down Wep Vehicle position jumps
Top Button: Combat trim on/off Ammo select
Button "D": Zoom Zoom
Horizontal Slider: Brakes Both
Round slider: Cockpit view L/R
Stick:
Lower hat: views along horizontal plane same
Upper Hat: views along vertical plane GV driving controls
Pinky switch: Up elevator trim
Tigger: fire pri/alt fire pri/alt
Button "A": Voice Range Voice Range
Button "B" Ventrillo Ventrillo
Button "C" Weapon select secondary
Fre button Voice Channel Voice channel
I have screwed around with dome of the other features, but I have found it easier just to hit a key instead of mapping some of the other keys. The definate money makers are mapping the flaps and wep to where the can be rapidly managed as well as the elevator trim and combat trim on/off allowing you to control dives at a much higher speed than with them. For example diving a K4, compression sets in, up elevator trim to get descent angle, hit combat trim to stop the up nose trim/repeat until on deck and on 262s six.
Anyone else care to share their layout?
