Hello all, I have been a HUGE MechWarrior fan all the way back to the x286 days, and I am currently looking to get into this game. I am having problems setting up my stick to get going over here though, I own a X-55 Rhino by Saitek and I was hoping that someone out there might be able to either A) give me a config file that I can just slap into a MWO folder or point me in the right direction to get assistance to at least walk me through the rough spots. I am having trouble with what buttons I should use for what functions for ease of combat, as well as setting up the throttle. If anyone can assist me that would be great, even if it is a file to load into the config software that comes with the stick.


Thanks,

Hechtic

How come you dont know how to program your stick? Did you just purchase it? I'd ask for programming tips on saiteks forums, theyre rather decent. The documentation is horrible, but if you spend an hour playing with the software its pretty easy to learn. Easier than driving a mech in this game is at the start.

If you don't use it much, what have you done with it? Have you used the software at all to program games into it...

In my personal experiance and owning a saitek gamepad, the button setups are easy to use and quite personal in prefrence. This game is (IMO) horrible with a stick. A keyboard and 6-button mouse setup are more intuitive (for myself).

Try saitek forum for your settings config. your unlikely to get a reply here, but some bored person might make you one over there if you give them some clue as to what buttons you want to do what.

with any game, check out the list of keybindings, come up with the stuff you want on your stick and take half an hour to program it that way. Either in MWO itself (by binding that joystick key to a certain function), or in the profiler software of your stick if you need more advanced bindings (highly unlikely with MWO, you have ample buttons on your saitek).
