Hey,
Is it somehow possible to switch mouse x-axle to control mech turning instead of torso turning?
I have Saitek X52 joystick that has a thumb mouse on throttle, I thought I could try using it for turning the mech. But I dont know if it's possible to switch (at least didnt find such an option).
Well... you can go at it at least 2 ways inside of your SST profiling software. The thing is, the mini-stick mouse on the throttle grip doesn't really give you very fine control... and you really want pretty decent control of your leg turning, along with the torso turning.
Your X-52 joystick is a twist grip type of stick. Have you tried using the twist axis for torso turning, and the X axis for leg turning? How about vice-versa?
Any ways... if you are determined to try using the mouse X axis on your throttle grip, you can try two different ways.
1. In the SST software, set the throttle's mouse X axis to "axis" type control (not mouse), and then in the MWO options, designate that axis to control the leg turning (Note: that is set in the third [joystick] column, down near the bottom of the column "analog Turn". NOT to be confused the with "Turn Left" and "Turn Right" up near the top of the column.)
Or...
2. In the SST software, set the throttle's mouse X axis to "bands" type control, which will allow you to have the bands output a keyboard command. Set 3 bands... leave the center band empty, with no command. Determine which band corresponds to left deflection of the mouse stick, then assign it to output the letter "a" in your SST profile. For the right deflection of your mouse stick, assign the corresponding band to output the letter "d". This will not be analog control. And, you'll probably want to use the advanced command capability to repeat the letter outputs at some interval that gives you the desired level of control, so you won't need to wear out your mouse stick by having to continuously stroke it. (yes, that sounds bad, and it actually is in this case).
Alternatively, consider obtaining some rudder pedals, and use it's rudder axis to operate the "Analog Turn" axis.
Good luck!
