X52 and EAW

AngleOff · Post by **AngleOff** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 11:32 pm

Anyone know how to get an X52 stick working with EAW?
I am able to fly, but not assign buttons.
I used the profiler for the X52, but it wont work in-game.
I assigned the buttons as eaw keystrokes and as macros,
but nothing.
Would I end up having to assign the command in the eaw.ini
file? And if so, how would I list it?
I was surprised the POV doesn't work by default. :cry:

Thanks,
AO

Gday AO,

I use the X45 and works very well using the SST drivers, so I cant see why the X52 wont.

Do you have any control inputs with the stick at all?

Have you checked in Windows Game controllers to see if the stick is set to default or even recognised? (first in list)

Hi Nads,
yes, the stick shows and drivers installed.
rudder, throttle, stick, guns all work in game.
Just none of the assigned buttons or POV. (s)
Thanks,
AO

Hi AO.

You need to setup those buttons in the EAW config, advanced settings, or you can do it by editing the EAW INI file. :wink:

Hi guys,
although I have the advantage of 30+ buttons, (I think)
I CAN assign them in the "advanced" like you said.......
but alot of disadvantages. I had to assign each position of
the POV, ...didn't have to do that with my Sidewinder,......
Can't do multi-assigned keys this way......for instance
'padlock closest enemy' I could just assign 1 button that
targeted closest AND padlocked.....
But anyway........grumble....grumble...............
This thing 'feels' like a real stick!!!!!! Throttle is heaven!

Curious thou that the profile doesn't work,.... only changing your
settings in game or ini.
I'm sure I'll be back to ask more questions.....having a ball testing.

(Like is there anything else you can do with that big-ole MFD besides
tell the time? :lol:

)

Hi guys,
okay, got it working! (AGAIN, thanks to Dumo!)
Uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed, all is well.

I believe my problem occurred because I plugged the stick in
before running the install CD. Windows recognized and loaded it's
own driver,.....then I ran the CD.......

All is well, and like my old Sidewinder, I do not have to change
anything in the INI or in-game settings!
Thanks,
