x52 Pro Mode Selector Macros

For all you internet spaceship enthusiasts who have x52s and x52 Pros, do any of you have macros for the Mode Selector dial? Talking stuff like "Mode 1 sticks pips in shields and weapons, deploys guns, etc. for combat. Mode 2 retracts guns, sticks pips in engines and shields for travel. Mode 3 deploys gear, sticks all pips into shields, and turns on the headlights." I've been trying to do it myself, but I'm either too drunk or too dumb to figure it out on my own.

I saw one like, two weeks ago that was really nice looking, but I can't find it anywhere anymore.

I did something like this.

Switching to Mode 3 (blue) deploys gears (Keyboard End)
Switching to Mode 1 (red) deploys hardpoints (Keyboard #)
Switching to Mode 2 (purple) retracts gears and hardpoints

But the thing with the pips is a good idea. I may add this later.

I just attach the profile here. Maybe you can start from there and change it to something you like.

Edit: I have a german keyboard layout, so # may translate to some different key on other layouts. I dont know.

Yup, the mode 1 (red), the big button on the throttle engages supercruise. Mode 3(blue) is all set up the same as mode 1, but the big button engages hyperspace. Mode 2(purple), I set that up more for menus and navigation, with the big button opening my map, also enables mouse control on the throttle, pinkie trigger opens my comm panel, and I added macros to controlling power distributor presets, like full pips to engines, or no pips to engines for landing.

Once you play around with it, you can do a lot of cool stuff.
