Title: Is it possible to map your stick like this?
Post by: Krusty on February 03, 2006, 01:25:38 PM

Is it possible to have 2 stick sets, and a button on stickset1 that says "go to stickset 2" and a button on stickset 2 that says "go to stickset 1" (that is, you toggle back and for, I know THAT can be done), but have the throttle on stickset 1 be for MAP and the throttle on stickset 2 be for RPM?

Is this possible?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible.

Clipboard
Settings
Joystick
Stick Map
Global
Stick Set 1
Stick Set 2
Stick Set 3
Stick Set 4

Whatever you map on each stick set will be active, so yes, it should work.

Yes, but how would you make stickset1's throttle to MAP and stickset2's throttle to RPM? Can I do that?

Ok, I see what your doing now, and I tried to map my throttle to different stick settings, it didn't work.

Ive got an X-52, and tried to reverse the setup, put the throttle and slider for RPM on the normal settings, select throttle 2 and rpm 2 and swapped them, then selected Stick Setup 2, they didn't swap.

Any of the other mappable stuff clearly work, but I can't help you on the throttle part.  I retract my suggestion that it does, I cannot make it work, so back to "it might" but I don't know how.

Thanks for trying. I was also annoyed to find that the keys you can map for the "select stick 1" and "select stick 2" do NOT include alt/ctrl/shift combinations (what gives with that??) but almost every other key allows these.

What stick are you using by the way Krusty?

I picked this X-52 up after several recommendations, and about 10 years on MS Force Feedback which finally died a well deserved death.

This darn thing has a seperate throttle with slider for rpm and a bunch of buttons on the throttle, then on the stick, even more buttons and a pair of hat switches.  It's pretty sweet.

Beats me on the triple key setting on the stick setup though, I just hit a button and swap from fighter to bomber mode now, and use the sliders for everything.

ROC: analog MS Precision Pro Sidewinder with the round dome throttle (early style).

Was $20 off ebay with S&H, had it for a while after my old LogiCrap went south. I hear lots of conflicting stuff on X45 and X52, some say one is best some say the other. Plus I never have that kind of money (lol)
