Hey all,

Just made a X52 Config for heli.

-Type listControllers, note down the controller number
-In autoexec change in_joy1_device "475083" to the relevant controller number
-Enjoy

Trigger is fire
Button with flip off selects heat seeking
Button top right is countermeasures
Button bellow that selects rockets

in_joy1_device "475083"

in_heli_side_joy "1"
in_heli_forward_joy "1"
in_heli_yaw_joy "1"
in_heli_forward_joy "1"
//axis assignments
in_heli_yaw_axis 2
in_heli_throttle_axis 3
in_heli_side_axis 0
in_heli_forward_axis 1

in_player_side_joy "0"
in_player_forward_joy "0"
in_player_yaw_joy "0"
in_player_pitch_joy "0"
in_car_steering_joy "0"
in_car_forward_joy "0"
in_car_yaw_joy "0"
in_car_pitch_joy "0"
in_hovertank_side_joy "0"
in_hovertank_forward_joy "0"
in_hovertank_yaw_joy "0"

lol - I went searching over a week ago for someone else who had put up an x52 config and ended up writing my own (http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14987) and now I have problems that I'm working on. Though the stick/throttle work fine in teh attack flyers.

Do you have any problem with the throttle affecting your player?

[PizzaPasta]

Would be great if the throttle worked too

[DarkTalent]

my stick and config works perfectly - throttle as well

[illuzian]

After setting up the above config I've had zero issues with the throttle, stick or anything at all, works flawlessly for me in_* "0" disables joy for everything but the heli

[DarkTalent]

I had to use the following:
bind "KP_SLASH" "seta in_joy1_device 476873" "SHIFT" "default" //Activate Joystick Input
bind "KP_SLASH" "seta in_joy1_device 232429" "" "default" //Deactivate Joystick Input

So I can deactivate it once I exit a 'flyer'.

No I'm just tweaking axis sensitivity etc.

[illuzian]

in_joy1_device "475083" - This puts the controller in_joy1_device (Joystick 1)

in_heli_side_joy "1" - This tells the heli turning axis to use Joy 1

in_player_side_joy "0" - This tells the player turning axis to use Joy 0 which doesn't exist/disables it.

It's a simple way to disable controls for all but heli, you enable and configure Joy 1 and disable Joy for everything else, I just think its more effective than a bind enable configuration. It's longer, but theres no keys to press etc...

[DarkTalent]

I'll have a fiddle and see how I go :)

Thanks

Illuzian!.. Got my controller number in game, but I'm lost, where to put in further control programming for the Saitek X52 using Windows XP? A few simple where-to-put hints for the part time programmers would help if possible.. thanks.. (fltsim guy here needs stick and schtick)

[DarkTalent]

use the code in a text file called "autoexec.cfg" is the simplest solution.

then put it in the "\sdnet\<profilename>\base" folder in the game directory in 'My Docs'.

hello, I'm new to Enemy Territory just got myself a X52. Could someone point me towards the right direction as to how to load customize configs?

thanks

You don't put the config in the joystick: you just load it ingame as explained in the original post. You can either pasted the text into your QWET autoexec.cfg file or make a stand-alone file (I made one called x52.cfg), put it in your base directory and then either execute it from the console ("exec x52.cfg).

So you can have the airbrake work while having the throttle full forward?

I could only get the airbrake to engage when the throttle is centered, which sucks, because you can't gain altitude with the airbrake on...something you can do using the mouse and keyboard.

Everything else works for me, but that one flaw makes a significant difference.
