Using X56 Mode Switch in DCS World

[@redb8213]

Thank you so much. Lot of mucking around at first, but nailed it. Cheers from Down Under. 😊😊

[@jarrod0987]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BardachKOT]

Damn, it does not work for me ;/

[@bluesy22]

In awe of how easily you explained this. Thank you!

[@DavidNinneman]

Thanks I've been trying to get the Mode switch to work for years.

[@bugsy3209]

dude this is awesome. your mic is a bit messed up but hey it gets the job done and i like this. thank you!!!

[@jarrod0987]

Awesome, thank you! I got a nicer mic now.

[@beetburger7883]

Dude at first I didn't much of that knob, now that I understand the potential I'm gonna finally be able to not use my keyboard at all while flying.

[@RikkiSan1]

Thank you for this, one thing I encountered is that I had to disconnect my X56 and reconnect them for DCS to see the switch properly, I guess its finicky like that but nevertheless it worked after perfectly

[@stephenmartin5766]

Yeah still doesn’t work for mine, only recognizes the non modifier controls and when in the other modes it still only does the control not using the modifier

[@Amustangguy89]

Yes! Now I can set my X56 up!

[@kamblade5907]

dude it's been driving me nuts it not working on both my x52 and x56 thank you so much.

[@sonnyt.4911]

Oh my god u made my day. 😅 Thanks!

[@michaelsquires2489]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Did i say thank you?

[@Blakearmin]

The trouble with this is it's far easier for me to use the pinkie lever as a modifier key.

[@swifttrouble1186]

Thanks this worked for me.

[@jarrod0987]

You're welcome!

@@jarrod0987 hi! for me it doesnt work! can you help me? we can get in touch with discord? plssssssss

[@siouxperb5570]

Sounds like a great solution, as my friend has the X-56, and I'm trying to help him get it set up. The problem is, you never explained where you open or download that software from. You just opened it on your PC as if it's already magically there. Logitech is of no help on their website. Can you provide details for that?

[@Jeremy61300]

Great video thank you!

[@jarrod0987]

My pleasure!

[@siouxperb5570]

Finally found the software (it's at the bottom of the list) and followed these instructions to the letter. Nothing. Didn't work.

[@charlie-ku9zk]

Me too 😞

[@Dzixon_PyLy]

doesnt work for me ;/

[@Knuckles_approves]

[@hugoarnould289]

@@Knuckles_approves It doesn't work for me either :/

[@ChrisClarke-g1n]

Thanks mate, much appreciated

[@jarrod0987]

Glad it helped

[@zombieaimz9214]

whats the link for the softwere

[@JLotG]

Would I be able to use it as a master mode switch?

[@joseangelcorti9074]

Thank you very much for sharing this valuable info. Do you think it will work for MFS 2020 too?

[@stephenmartin5766]

Bruh mine won’t show the ok button so I can’t save it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@soundboy605]

Thanks my man what about the turning knobs does that work in the same way?

[@croissant1-1]

If not working like said in the video for me. BUT for all of you i have a solution that work for me. It's only working for me after i saved the profile into a new one and select it in the little menu on the bottom left of your windows menu that show your hidden software active on your PC. Hope it will work for you !

[@hugoarnould289]

Can you explain in more detail please. THX

[@Anton-dh9lp]

BRILLIANT !!! THANK YOUUUUUUU

[@setxrestuarantreviews6436]

It worked for you

[@weed89ilt]

Thanks a ton..quick question tho'...i have 2 (TWO) Instances of X56HOTAS that installed ( was guessing 1 for joystick..1 for throttle...Bothe seem Identical ( have uninstalled....reinstalled get same 2 Icons in sys tray ) So....do i have do do this in BOTH of them?? Or just 1 of them??? like so many other I Also Hate the Logitech software BUT...if it tripples my button mapping...Lol So be it. thanks for any input on the 2 instances of the software it installed

[@jarrod0987]

Seems wrong to me. It might be that auto start is somehow starting 2 instances? Maybe try uninstalling and re-installing. Not really sure.

[@craigharris41]

Link for the Logitech site?

[@jarrod0987]

This link should work for Win 8-Win 10 download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/simulation/X56_HOTAS_x86_8_0_132_0.exe

[@Hardlinerjapan]

Brilliant thank you

[@jordostan]

the logitech software is literal cancer. Is there somewhere I can find some profiles to download that match up?
