I use it for quickly panning inside the plane on instruments, or even ouside sometimes, and the switch as engine toggle.

X52 user here. I use the up and side ways postions for "adjusting the seat" (like looking around canopy frames), and use the down postion as a "look down" modifier for the standard view hat.

Here's a CH map with an awesome idea for the mini joystick.

In theory I guess you can turn tighter in certain 2 engine planes?

Slightly OT, but do you folks using the x52 have the mouseysticky mapped through AH2, or did you have to use the SST profiler? I just got an X52 yesterday, and having a helluva time getting some of the throttle controls mapped.

Hub I use the SST.  I have all buttons mapped and rotaries set to trim.
The only thing not in use is the slider and mouse stick.
Both of those are to twitchy for me.

Hubs,

I use AH mapping for my X52. I like it better than the SST.

Check out the CH Hanger site as there are a few scripts that can either change the mini-stick for views or use it as a mini-differential throttle.  I personally use it for views.

Hubs...I have my X52 mapped using the SST software.

All the axis' (axisis, axiees, axi?) on the joystick, i.e. throttle, pitch, yaw, rudder...I have mapped through AH.  The rotary knobs I have mapped through the SST and AH depending on what I am using them for....

For trim.....which is an analog input...is through AH..
for something like zoom....I use the rotaries as well...in "band" mode, which becomes key presses
I use my hats as key presses for views and zoom and other things.

The SST handles key presses without a problem...but remember, if you need a press and hold key (say looking right up, or brakes, or bomb site calibration) you have to use the SST advanced commands, to show that it's a press and hold.

Now if you're going to use the "mousestick" on the throttle as a mouse, you have to classify it as  a mouse axis in SST, then assign it in AH as an Axis command


Hope this hasn't confused you as much as it has me.

I use it to control my views. Below is the script. You need to program cms buttons 9-16 to activeX buttons and use the pinky button as a shift key.

Example cms button 9 normal = control1-button 9, shift=control1-button 17, so on through button 16, then map these buttons in AH. Map the shifted buttons to the up views.

I use a combined map that combines all controllers into 1 virtual controller.

(variable B99 has to do with another script I use that locks views using the castle hat on the flight stick. I can be removed from this script if used stabd alone)

X-52 here mine is set to gear and breaks so far....   Some times I set one of the axis for a macro, one time I had it set so if I pushed up it would type
 "SHUT UP VIPER" on squad chan :)

I've never used my micro stick because unlike the rest of my CH setup, it broke the first time I touched it and I just ignore it now.
