Let me know if you have any suggestions for either tool, or if you find them useful. 0:00 / 12:59 Intro Elite Dangerous X52 Pro easy mode switching with more advanced commands (Part 2) Bret Riverboat 134 subscribers Subscribe 5.9K views 2 years ago This is a follow on. So, there might be further updates here in the future. While the initial version should be stable, this tool is more of a work in progress, and I'm currently looking to pull data from and other sources to display on the hotas as well. The second tool is an Elite: Dangerous-specific tool that reads the game logs to display: This means that you can write to this json file from any tool and have the information show on the display without the need to write any C++ code yourself. To establish which HOTAS is the chosen one by ED Commanders, I went to the source - I asked members of the biggest in-game group of players called the Elite.

It will continuously monitor a json file for changes, and display the information in the file on the hotas unit as it is updated.

The first is a very simple "driver" for the MFD. īut, with some help from Github, I have now produced two separate tools for my fellow commanders! My excitement quickly waned when I realised I had to program in C++ to talk to the thing, though. Hopefully useful for fixed weapons, and aligning with targets.įor those unfamiliar with the "X52 Elite Setup" it's a complete HOTAS setup that allows you access to EVERY command in the game at your fingertips on the stick and throttle, no need for a keyboard! Awesome for VR and everyone else too.I recently treated myself to the X52 pro hotas, and got very excited when I realized I could display information on it's multi-function display (MFD). We also added a "pip", by default, to mark the center of your screen. They aren't on all the time now! Only upon request. You can now activate all 9 axis of controls on the stick and throttle with the press of a button allowing horizontal and vertical fine tuned control. The Alternate flight commands are now working properly with a "hack" I made to the binds file. It is working with the latest release of Astra that came out this week with all of the engineer locations, on my mark commands, and ED Journal interactions. It will now show up as a pre-built configuration in the in game controller drop down. I also highly recommend you get Voice Attack. It should probably work well as a starting point, anyway. So, now both the X52Pro AND the X52 "ELITE" setup are compatible with HCS voice packs. ago Heres an old thread that has a button-mapping setup for the old X45, and I think the X52s buttons are somewhat similar.

It's Here! New Release: Saitek X52 Elite Setup Version: 2.2.3!
