Support for X-52 Stick and Throttle

[mdjarv]

X-52 stick and throttle are connected as a single USB device

These are the axis:

Y for Throttle
X for Roll
Y for Pitch
Z for Yaw

See #14 for more details

Since the X-52 HOTAS show up as a single device we need to figure out how to show only the device(s) being used.

Check if we can enable the throttle only if axis Z is triggered, and the stick only if axis X/Y is triggered, that way these devices can share USB ID but work independently

I think it should be work on that way.

In the Proxy I receive all inputs, but some diferent as I described above (X-Planet setup). See:
Throttle: 06a3:075c,Saitek X52 Throttle,Z=65535
Stick up and down: 06a3:075c,Saitek X52 Throttle,X=30655
Stick left and right: 06a3:075c,Saitek X52 Throttle,Y=31999
Stick Yaw: 06a3:075c,Saitek X52 Throttle,RotationZ=63158

In the Visualizer, it remaing waiting for device until I move the Stick or Throttle, after that, the 3D Throttle model shows up and start working.

Could you test release 0.9.8 and see if both the throttle and joystick works

Tested and worked 100%! Thank you!!!

Not working for me. Maybe a difference between basic X52 and X52 Pro?

X52 Pro USB hardware IDs: https://i.imgur.com/3nzMwQn.png

Axes:

• X and Y - stick left/right and forward/back (i.e., usually roll and pitch) respectively
• Z - throttle
• Z-rotation - stick twist (usually yaw)
• X-rotation - lower throttle rotary knob
• Y-rotation - upper throttle rotary knob
• slider - throttle thumb slider

@brittz
Nice! One of these days I might even be able to make a model for it with enough practice.

@SilverlightPony
Yeah, the Pro had a different ID so thanks for getting it for me. I'll add it and make a new release in a few minutes

@SilverlightPony
How about this?

[SilverlightPony]

Reading throttle position. Stick is not shown, but I get the feeling that's intentional (or at least a known limitation at present). Now if only you had the correct 3D model. :P

Lemme know if you need any more info for improvements.

[mdjarv]

Hmm, stick should show if you move it, just like the throttle should show when you move it... just to be clear, you are using both X52 Pro throttle and stick?

[SilverlightPony]

Ah, yup. It's not animating stick-twist tho.

[mdjarv]

Yeah, unfortunately adding proper twist movement is quite difficult as it requires a mix of local and global rotations to get right (I've done it once and it took a few more hours than I'd like to admit).

Maybe if we get a proper 3D model it would be worth the effort but the Warthog model is a bit too cumbersome to work with in this regard.

Just wanted to point out there are X-52 Pros which have the PID 0255 - I believe anyone with one of those sticks would not be supported currently?
