Discord software and X52Pro

Postby Loriath » Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:20 pm

Can someone with an X52Pro and using the SST software installed do me a favour?

Install the discord software and try to set the PTT to a button on the stick (unprogrammed in the SST software) and tell me if your LEDs and MFD freaks out ?

And does your system hang till you kill discord?

Hi Loriath,
I have an X52 - I get the problem with TS3... PTT button is the "pinky" switch.
If I stay on TS for too long, my stick loses its position and starts to drift as well as the MFD flickering.
Regards
Dudley.

What is this mythical 'spare' button of which you speak?

I'm about 4 buttons short of what I want as it is, even after working out how to use the slider & twizzlers.

Dudley - I get the same thing on TS, but without even trying to use a PTT - I have to run it on 2nd PC to use it, which is why I'm so up on Discord. The in-built voice activation is fine by me, even if Merlin does go on a barking-fit from time to time ;)

So not just me. Their tech support says "Update Windows and your Browser" which I told them that I already did.

They said Sorry. Thats it. Great.

@ Loriath

I mentioned your issue to Discord support, they answered:-

Hey XXXXXX


That might be due to some incompatibility or no SDK for a joystick. I'll shoot it up with our engineer to see what we can do about it.


Cheers,

Dan
