I have the view mapped out in my x52 to slide with the top lh hat, however when I try to slide the view it just kind of "shakes" around the original position. Anyone else having this problem?
-
my guess would be that you have somehow managed to map another device - probably an analog axis - to the same thing.
What I'd do is
1) FIRST, SAVE THE SETTINGS FOLDER
2) remove the files from the settings folder
3) reenter the game, and remap the views
If that "fixes it", go back to your original settings and determine what other device is mapped to the drive the views.

Found it. When I add the slider as "view forward and back" it seems to "lock" my slide view. This used to work when I played before (about 3 years ago) any idea whats going on?
-
Shameless bump
-
I do not understand what you are talking about.
-
Im trying to use the slider on my x52 for the zoom control (move view forward and back). When I map it in the editor I causes the "slide view left" or right, or up or down to stick
-
There are no analog zoom controls in the game. Move head position is not a zoom command.
-
I used to be able to do this, Is this a recent change (well in the last 3 years anyway)? Or maybe I mapped it a different way. Ill have to mess with it more
-
We have never had analog zoom controls. The head movements do not have any analog commands either. All those commands are buttons.

gunner..I have my x52 throttle slider set to zoom in and out,but the only way I can do it,is to map it in the sst profiler..
-
I have that hat mapped to "move head forward" and "move head backward" same as using the arrow keys.
So it is possible to do as Gunner would like he just didnt explain it properly.It's not zoom but it moves you closer to the gunsight.
Hope that helps.
:salute

Aaahh yep thats what I was talking about. thanx man.
I tried to install the sst software but for some reason it keeps crashing when I try to map stuff.
I think Ill go your route and map it to my hat. Thanx yall
-
Your welcome gunner,I kind of thought thats what you were trying to do!
Skuzzy been so busy solving problems he likely forgot about suggesting this instead,of course calling it zoom in and it's no wonder there was some confussion.
Glad I could help.

It puzzles me to read this Skuzzy. Many years ago I played around with mapping my head movements to different axes on my CH throttle quadrant (6 levers, was deciding what to use them for).
I also currently use one throttle for my zoom and have for some time.
I checked and it appears they are all still available:

The thing about mapping any head movement (say you JUST want to have a lever that moves your head up or down) is that it locks the other head directions and you lose some functionality. It's like you map up and down, but then the keys for left right front and back no longer work. This was what made me not use it (way back). I admit I don't know if that's changed or not but from what I'm reading it seems to be the same.
However, they are analog inputs you can map to an axis.
-
Now you really are confusing people. You make it sound like the panel on the right pops up when you select the "Field of View" option from the analog inputs. IT DOES NOT.
I have to admin I have no idea what the "Field of View" does, but it does not pop open another view panel with the individual views listed.
-
No, no, that's just me mashing 2 screens together to show you have to scroll. I just didn't think to stick a bright red border between the two. It was a quick and dirty edit.
Zoom is a toggle. The FOV is the amount of zoom. Instead of hitting "zoom in" or "zoom out" when the zoom toggle is engaged, you can map that to a slider. Thus, you can toggle zoom with a button, but once zoomed you can zoom in and out at your will by manipulating a slider directly.
-
I tried mapping the CH throttle micro-stick to FOV a few years back and it locked out the zoom function. Maybe I should have played with it some more but it was easier just to unmap it and stick to zoom.
-
I had it working on the slider ("zooming" in and out) but like you said it would lock my other head movements
-
Just to be clear, moving the head forward is not "zoom" -- zoom uses the FOV mapping, and the head stays put. Otherwise, it is as you described. You're just talking about the head, not the zoom. :)

AAahhh yep I confused myself :aok
