Saitek X52 Pro and FSX

[Blister]

This is probably a case of RTFM - but - I launch the FSX Profile using the Saitek Software - get the required green border to the little icon and the MFD show FSX. However, when I launch FSX - it all goes haywire - the MFD goes blank, and when I run a test (somewhere in the software you can) it tells me that "number-4" keeps repeating, like it is stuck - which it isn't

Any ideas anyone? I HAVE used the X52 Pro before with no problem and my landings have improved no end!

Thanks in advance - any help gratefully received

When you say "number 4 keeps repeating", do you mean button 4 on the stick, or number 4 on the keyboard?

Have you assigned "4" to any joystick buttons / sliders etc?

What happens if you run FSX without setting a specific profile?

[Blister]

I guess it has to be on the X52 - because the keyboard is ok when the joystick isn't attached.

Now you have got me wondering if the FSX profile is corrupt - that would make sense.

I will try it in straight FSX (i.e. without the profile)

Thanks for you help so far Dave

It works fine if I don't use the Saitek software - so I am going to track down a clean FSX profile and try that

Tried this with a clean fs0.pro - same problem! Looks fine - with the 3 MFDs available - all saying FSX, etc - but then when you launch FSX - they disappear

X52 Pro on its own in FSX - no problem.....

So I guess I will have to try and work something out - although being a mere "amateur" - I wouldn't no where to start to be honest (e.g. I use the "flying tips" and often get issues with atmospheric pressure and to press "b" or probs with mixture...)

Does anyonw else use this? Could you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Just trying to narrow things down a bit.

You said it was working before. Has anything changed since?

What OS are you using?

Saitek software & driver version number?

Any anti-virus software running?

Do you use the stick with a profile for any other games, and if so does it work OK?


You don't need a profile for FSX, as it can all be setup in the sim.

To my knowledge, nothing has changed - apart from about 54 windows updates that came down a few days ago!

I am on 64 bit - Windows 7, using Kaspersky Internuet Security

I only use the joystick with FSX (I have FS9 too - but haven't tried it with that yet). The Saitek version I am using comes straight off their website - so SST_Software_64_6_6_6_9.exe and Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe

Hope that helps?

Thanks Dave.

Hmmm, same as me apart from mine's a standard X52 rather than the pro

Clutching at straws a bit here. Have you tried re-installing the saitek software & drivers?

Failing that, I think you may need to dump the saitek profiler software entirely & just assign everything in-sim.
