The "Mode" knob actually "adds" three additional switches/buttons to multiply the overall setup by "3". I refer to those documents on a regular basis when setting up my Saitek X-45, Pro yoke and dual
The time you spend investigating the advanced techniques will be well spent.Īnd keep that document "handy", along with "List of FSX controls.pdf" and "FSUIPC Lua Library.pdf". I use the various capabilities of FSUIPC and Lua forĪll my complex aircraft control assignments such that I rarely need to resort to keyboard or mouse inputs I have over 70 functions defined for 10 switches on my Saitek dual quadrants using a form of the compoundīutton programming. Add the Lua capabilities and the possibilities are endless! Essentially, you can have 5,6,10 or more "Modes" using the advanced programming methodsĭefined in the FSUIPC documentation. Tha FSUIPC facilities go far beyond what can be done with The Saitek softwareĭoes this for you but is limited in it's usefulness. Methods of switch programming, which is what you will need for implementing the "Modes". starts the discussions on the more advanced starts the section on Button Programming. You need to spend some time studying the document "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf" that is provided with the download Other buttons/switches do anything different unless you program them to do so. It is up to you to use those states to modify how the other buttons/switches act in FSUIPC. So, you have Btn# 27,28,29 that represent the three different states I suspect "Mode 1" will return "Joy#0 Btn# 27". The "Mode" knob looks just like 3 switches in FSUIPC or Win7 for that matter. It may be that FSUIPC cannot support X52 in Win 7, it would be good to have it confirmed one way or another. Why anybody should want so many buttons I cannot guess, they must have a fantastic memory to remember them all. Thus it seems that changing the Mode knob simply adds 2 more buttons to the controller rather than multiplying the number of controls by 3. Changing to Mode 3 the result is Joy# 0 Btn# 29. Changing to Mode 2 I see Joy# 0 and Btn# 28, then pressing button A the values revert to Joy# 0 and Btn# 2. Starting FSX and then FSUIPC when I go to "Buttons & Switches" if I press joystck button A in Mode 1 the Button Window shows Joy# 0 and Btn# 2. By rotating the knurled knob the 3 Mode positions show and the Mode no on the controller changes from 1 to 2 to 3. This will eventualy take me to X52 Controller Properties. In Win 7 "Game Controller" = "Devices & Printers". I am using Win 7 so the page names are, of course, different.
