rfitchmc: I have a quick question that I was hoping someone could answer, how did you get around Tie Fighter and X-Wing not recognizing two usb devices? Maybe this has been asked and answered, but I haven't seen it.

Tarvis: You set the regular joystick device as the main device. The throttle doesn't actually supply the game with any axis data, it is all done through the profile to press keys.

solusseraph: So, the throttle and everything still works as normal then? I ask because I'm about to get a HOTAS and really want the X55. On a side note, I'm also looking at primarily playing XvT. If the X55 works with X-wing and Tie Fighter, it should work with XvT, right?

Tarvis: Hello everybody, I got an X-55 the other day so I made a profile for it, here it is!

It is intended for the DOS version, but with some changes it will work with the 1998 Windows versions.
To do that, set Trigger and C to Fall Back in H.U.D., and in the game joystick options, set C (Button 3) to Alt-3: Roll/Target Ship In Sights.

L: Next Component
R: Prev Component
U: Target Newest Craft
D: Target Nearest Attacker of Current Target

THROTTLE:
Left Throttle: Smooth Throttle (Disable to get rid of constant beeping when moving throttle, but then throttle only works in 33% increments)
Right Throttle: 33% Increment Throttle (Don't unbind this, even with Smooth Throttle, it keeps it in bounds)

Rotary 1 - Increase/Decrease Laser Recharge
Rotary 2 - Increase/Decrease Shield Recharge
Rotary 3 - Increase/Decrease Beam Recharge
NOTE: For best rotary performance, change their curves to J mode, and set both X SAT and Y SAT to 850.
This makes the gauge max out and bottom out with the rotary, as if it was directly mapped.

snowypods1: I'm having trouble getting my x55 to work in tie fighter, when i try to launch the game i get the message you need a joystick to play make sure it is connected. if i select the throttle in device manager and set it to be used with old games the game will load but not recognize my joystick only the throttle.
