I figured out my issue.  If I leave the Saitek Profile loader running it crashes MWLL.  If I load the profile to the X52 and then turn off the Saitek software everything is golden.  Good work on the setup so far.  Much obliged.   :)
 
I am trying to tweak the rudder bands to make them work in 4 intervals instead of 2 (IE 10%, 25%, 75%, and 100% vs the 25%, and 100% current).  This should allow for more precise targeting when zoomed in on VTOLs (which I can now fly thanks to this setup).  Aerospace will require more fine tuning as they are all over the place even with a joystick but I think that has to do with dev team development and not this config as even with a mouse they are all over the place (for me anyway).   ;)

For the armor and Mechs I just use the keyboard and mouse as I have gotten used to it but piloting?  No way.  The joystick is the way to go.  Once again, great job!

The only issue I can fix from that, Johnson is the last one. I have no idea on the others sadly =[

The rotary on the throttle is bound to W, in order to fix that just slide it completely one way or the other. I'll upload my current version that I've tweaked to my specifications, it makes Mode 3 on the mode select basically empty.

I've made the mech leg twist more immediate in turning (made the dead zone smaller) same with the aero controls.

Mode 3 is just a way to get rid of the pesky W and Shift binds. I know it's a lot of shifting, but you respawn right?

Actually, the reason I bound "w" to the rotary in my original profile was due to a ongoing bug where if your mech stops (or is first started up), the throttle will not work until you briefly hit "w".  The second reason is that when using jump jets, you want to hold down "w" to provide forward thrust, the throttle is ignored when jump-jetting.

Also, I have avoided the jerky x-axis issue by using another mode for "mech" and not using bands with keypresses when in a mech, I just use a key-holdown when in the mech now.  Attached are my latest efforts at actionmap, profile, and joystick.cfg.

Cheers

For those that own an original non-pro Saitek X52 Flight Control System here is a profile to use along with the actionmaps.xml and joystick.cfg

Please note, I had to change the "joystick= " value to 1 in order for my game to start up. This might also be the case for the rest of you
I have not tested this, I merely recreated the profile from the X52 Pro to the X52 file.

Edit: I am going to work on a list of commands

IMPORTANT NOTE: The throttle slider acts as shift after 54%, please don't freak out if your mouse starts selecting everything. Just slide it down all the way.

Movement:
   Throttle: The mouse fire on the throttle enables the throttle (must press before the throttle functions as normal)
   Mech: X-axis turn mech left/right
            Y-axis pitch torso up/down (inverted)
            Z-axis turn torso left/right
    Boost: Slider on Throttle
    Center Torso: Down on Right POV Hat

Combat:
  Fire Group 1: Trigger
  Fire Group 2: C-Fire Button
  Fire Group 3: B-Fire Button
  Fire Group 4: A-Fire Button
  Fire Group 5: Safe-Fire Button
  Fire Group 6: Second Push Trigger (there are 2 buttons on the trigger, one is a soft press, the second is a full press)
  Zoom: Up on right POV Hat

Targeting:
  Target Next Enemy: Up on Left POV Hat
  Target Nearest Enemy: Left on Left POV Hat
  Target Next Friendly: Down on Left POV Hat
  Target Nearest Friendly: Right on Left POV Hat

Misc:
  Light: Wheel Button/Toggle 4
  Map: Toggle 6
  Infared: Toggle 5
  Reload/Purchase Ammo: Toggle 2/Toggle 3
  Power Down: Toggle 1
  Override Auto-Shutdown: E-Fire Button
  Coolant Dump: D-Fire Button
 
NOTICE:

Version 3 is up now, the torso and leg controls have been swapped for a more natural feel.
In order to function, the flight controls are now on mode 1 the "Vehicle" Mode and the mech/land vehicle controls are on mode 2 the "Mech" mode
Please note that you MUST switch to the correct one in order to pilot the vehicle correctly.

If you do not know how to change modes, it is the knob on the right side of the joystick (should say "MODE" with a green light below it)
The topmost bar is Mode 1, middle bar is Mode 2, and the bottom bar is Mode 3

hello,
where are this files ?

best regards
andi

looked there ... i hope you meant this page : http://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php?title=Joystick_setup

for new users it is not clear where to find this mentioned place you told us to earch for saitek.

maybe a link to a special place would help.
its not helpfull for new users tó tell them "search here and search there" .... oftherwise a forum is senseless. "no need to ask something ... search google" or like this

all in all i also can´t find this 3 versions of files for the saitek x52 controller.
i found no files there anywhere.
maybe i found no files, because i didnt registered also there, because im not sure if im right there an i was wondering to register again, beacuse im allreday fregistered here.

for all time i register somewhere, i get 5 more spammail a day.

edit:  i registered there, but still cant see any files.


looks like a searching quest :)


......   edit:  i also have to admit that i thought this where mechwarrior 4 merc or vene profiles.

didnt found any actionmaps.xml on my system. then found out it is only a living legends issue.
i use the new free release of mechwarrior4 merc.
can i also install then this living legends game ?
