My first post and I have also just received my X52pro setup and its not even Christmas yet

Has anyone got a profile (X52.pro) for EECH or can someone point me to one.
I have searched every engine out there and cant seem to find one.

You would be beter off making your own. Becuase as you make it, you memorize it, which is what you'll have to do with anything you get from someone else.
I have been working on one for my X45 for a few weeks. Every time I think I got it, I figure out a better way to do it.
Point there is that even if you do find one, you wont like it in a day or so.

I was explaining the profile setup processto a new pilot the other day and it dawned on me that you really dont need many buttons programed. We spend a lot of time in AP and can use the keyboard with both hands. Even when we are attacking, we dont use many. Expecially if you let your wingmen do the work.
Ok, so there are some secrets. IMHO.

Thanks Bammer.
I think your right
Now if I can just work out what I need to do in EECH then I can get somewhere

Yeah, I've revised mine 4 times in the past week. LOL. Each time removing cpmmands from the profile to make it simpler and moving some to mode 2 and 3.
I find myself using the radar commands the most, followed by the map commands. Most anything else can be done when on AP and my hands are free then. Most of that time spent looking at the keychart.
PM me if you want some more tips. Might save you some time.

Its not the programming I'm worried about.
I can fly the helo, no problem but cant get my head around all the different modes

Will try and find some lessons or maybe some online training

Ive uploaded my EECH profile if you want to use it as a referance.

Some things regards the twist rotation you may wish to edit if you are not using TrackIR and Pedals.

When flying EECH you will need to make use of "radar priorities" and "sweep modes" in particular "single sweep". Flying into a hot area with live radar simply directs all SAM traffic your way. Flying in a stealthy manner and picking off targets with laser guided weapons, then slipping way into the dark is very satisfying.

The modes are just the same buttons with different assignments. Flip to mode 2 and you get a fresh set of buttons to assign.
Porgamming goes like this and is fast once you get the hang of it:

Click in the square, hit the key you want to assign, hit green check mark to accept, name the assignement and hit enter. Save every once in awhile.

I find that I like the extra modes to use the same button actually, not really to add 97 commands. And like I said, I have had to redo mine after some flying. I fly and figure out that button assignment doesnt work to well.
Example, I use the throttle hat with my left pointer finger, for most of my radar commands. In mode 3, there isnt anything else programmed but that hat. So plenty of unassigned buttons even though I use 3 modes for the throttle hat.
Hope that makes some sense.
If you have any more questions just post 'em.

Cheers Bammer VB and the Colonel.

Got into programming last night with the engine startup procedure for a taster, went well.
Relatively easy really.
Will look at your profile Colonel and go from there.

Perhaps I didn't explain myself too well, Its the programme I don't understand, all the targeting modes, radar modes, sweeps etc etc, what they do, which are best, rather than the actual programming of the sticks.
I'm just too impatient to learn them from a manual and go into the zones blasting till I drop LOLOL

The most important thing is I am enjoying it thoroughly, it has to be on every mans list to be a Helo pilot

BIG THUMBS UP to Arneh for turning a good game into a seriously great game.

Are there any Squadrons flying like on Falcon??
