Setting up a joystick

[Adam192 0]

Can somebody walk me through setting up a Saitek X52 to work with ArmA?

I'm having some trouble.

Just explain it to me in layman's terms.

Thank you :-).

What is your problem?

I mean i got that X52 working ingame without any problems.

Just configure in options (ArmA), which button or axis to be

used for which function.

Though the only problem i can imagine: if you have another

joystick/joypad/wheel/pedals installed it could be problems

with detecting the primary device - only one device is supported at the moment.

I haven't made or found any Saitek X52 profiles but I've certainly defined all the axis movements in ArmA's control options etc and found that enough for me. Saitek X52 is brill for controlling aircraft in ArmA. In their limited (yet enjoyable) simulated handling.

I should have explained myself better, sorry.

I'm having difficulties figuring out with button coresponds with which button the joystick.

Bump.

Do I need to set up a profile? Would somebody be kind enoug to take a screenshot of their Aircraft controls for me?

Thank you.

Hey Adam

Run the X-52 without a profile. Just use default Joystick setting from the game.  you will have to setup your throttle though.

Increase thrust should say    stick Z- Axis

Decrease thrust should say   stick Z+ Axis

The rest should read

Bank left         X- Axis

Bank right       X+ axis

Left pedal        Z- Rotate

Right pedal      Z+ Rotate

Nose down      Y-Axis

Nose up           Y+ Axis

This is what my buttons are set to

Trigger or #1         fire

Fire button or #2    next target

A button or #3       Toggle weapons

B button or #4 is free at the moment

C button  or #5       auto hover

D button on throttle or # 7  is    zoom in

This may or may not work for you  I find them handy

Also if you find the joystick to sensitive you can readup on this
