That leaves the commands that are available in ALL modes: The Property Management Screen is exchanged for Target Nearest Enemy in this mode.īrowsing through Targets is exclusive to Property and Enemies, neutral targets are essentially ignored. The first stage on the trigger defaults to a 3 shot burst (single shot through Pinkie-shift) the second stage remains full auto. The Property Management Screen is still directly available.īrowsing through targets browses through Objects and Enemies, rather than Property.Įxplore Mode is intended for general use when roaming about and puts roughly equal emphasis on combat as on trade commands.Ĭombat mode forgoes nearly all Trading commands in favour of Combat commands. The Fire button now launches missiles Best Sell Locator is replaced with Missile Select and Best Buy with the Ecliptic Projector. Pinkie-shift and the first stage of the Trigger will fire a 3 shot burst. The second stage of the Trigger fires at full auto until released. The first stage of the Trigger will fire a single shot, even if you do not release it. In Explore Mode all weapons are available. In general Trade mode is meant for trading and menu use. The Property Management screen is also directly available. When browsing through targets, Trade mode will browse through Property and Objects. Trade Mode is the only mode in which the Best Buy and Best Selling locators are directly available, as well as the Enter and Escape keys. The Trigger is bound to Enter and Escape when pinkie-shifted, the Fire button is bound to Open/Close Freight Bay Doors.

In Trade Mode all weapons are effectively OFFLINE. I set up the 3 modes as inspired on the Star Trek alarm colours. Speaking of download sections and more getting down to business, the profile and a PDF with the command listing are here: I took SD6 over SD5 because it offers much more flexibility in programming, if you don't have it yet, it's on the Saitek page in the Downloads section. The profile is made in the SD6 version of the programming software. The whole profile comes with labelled commands, modes and shift-states. I've tried to put in as many useful functions as possible and sort them in Trade/Explore/Combat modes. Right now I'm on my third revision and feeling bold enough to put it online and ask fellow players for their opinion. I've been working on a good comprehensive profile for the X52 joystick for use with X3. First off I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, if it isn't I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
