Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

http://www.saitek.com/uk/imgs/product/radiopan_product.pngWhen this first came out somebody posted a how to about installing new Pots that worked the readouts much smoother, maybe more than one mod was on the internet.I cannot find any of these modifications instructions anymore, anybody know of?Thanks!

I already e-mailed to find out if they will ship to the US. Looks phenomenal, I would love to have this for taxiing the heavies around!I think it is about $250 which is definitely expensive but heck, I have been searching everywhere for one of these...SteeringME! - Steering controller for Flight Simulator

Hey all,I',m looking for a stick that you can comfortably use with your left hand. i currently own and use the Logitech Extreme 3D pro, but it's not very comfortable for left handed flying. The reason I want a joystick for left hand flying, is for when I fly my Airbuses. I have the TQ to the right of me, so the stick needs to be on the left. Just like in the actual bus, actually... Anybody out there that can recommend me a good left handed stick?By the way, a POV hat is a MUST. Without it, I will not buy. For the rest I don't really care, to be honest, as my other hardware (TQ, rudder pedals, etc) are used for rudder control and such.

Hey gang,I currrently use, a TM Cougar, that has been modded the the Uber2 NXT Gimbal mod, along with hall sensors in the stick and the throttle. I also use the TM Elite rudder pedals, with hall sensors in them as well. I have been very pleased with this setup.I am considering splurging for the new TM A10 controller.I like the looks of it, and if I read correctly, it sounds like my Cougar stick would be interchangeable with the A10 stick.I would be curious to hear feedback from anyone that owns the A10 stick currently, especially if they came from the Cougar and have interchanged the sticks.Thanks for any feedback,

It's getting time to get some new rudder pedals (i.e. the pots on my current 5+ year old ones are starting to die). As I'm not quite to the point of building my full size 737NG sim yet, was looking at the subject pedals as they seem a bit more "realistic" than my current standard Pro Flight pedals. I'm actually still undecided on the Combat or the Cessna pedals, but since my question regards the base (which they seem to be identical), the specific variant isn't an issue.Anyway, my question regarding the base is do they provide the same velcro strips as the standard Pro Flight pedals have? Specifically for "anchoring" the pedals on carpet? If not, what have folks used to a…

Hi,anyone use this Yoke?Aerosoft just sales Hardware with 20%off,so i am interested to know,how good the Eclipse Yoke is.I`m using my CH yoke for over 10years now without any problems,perhaps the right moment now for something new.Thank youMichael

Hi,momently i have the CH Yoke,TQ and Pedals connected with an External Hub.Now i want to add an CH Throttle and a Stick espacially for Fighter aircrafts.Will this work or can i expect conflicts with the axis?Thank youMIchael

Located a set for sale.....supposedly NEW (2005).....but serial. Should I take the plunge? Is there a RELIABLE Win 7 64 serial car/driver? I'd love to have this thing....but don't want to get stuck with a beautiful desk ornament......Help!Ta- Carl

Hi all, I am running FSX in windows 7 and also have the CH yoke, throttle and rudder pedals. These devices will only work if I unplug and reinstall the USB connectors. If I install control manager, they will work fine, but I would like to run the throttles through FSUIPC and it will conflict with the CH Control manager. any ideas? thanks Doug Morlan

Hi I just bought the Saitek Rudder and really like it but have one question. When I push on toe brakes the plane stops fine but then the brakes stay on and I cant move. If I set the parking brake then release them it will go away until I push the toe brakes again. How can I fix this problem? Thanks, Joel

I can turn off the backlighting through the T.A.R.G.E.T. application, but upon restarting the computer, the backlighting is back on. If I do not turn it off, it stays on even after the computer is shutdown. Is there a way to shut down the backlighting in a more permanent way?Thanks!Rushad Ed.

Hello everybody. My Saitek throttle is spiking, which is causing A/T to disconnect at Takeoff. How does i fix my spiking throttle

Hi,i just looked into the Standard.xml.and noticed,that the SaitekYoke and the Throttles which i don`t use any longer,are still there.I now use my old CH Yoke ,Pedals and CH TQ.Can i delete the Saitek entries or can they remain there?Thank youMichael

After plugging my Saitek X52 Pro, I was expecting windows to automatically detect the joystick but it did not.Tried installing the driver from the cd, but it just freezes.I have tried, downloading the driver from the saitek website as well - After running it, it asks me to plug in the joystick, Doing so it says, it runs the Driver Setup screen, showing "the process may take some time".How long is sometime for ? I have kept it running for sometime.Is there any other way out ? Please Help

Hi,I am probably soon going to buy a set of rudder pedals, probably from Saitek.However, there are apparently three types: Pro Flight Rudder PedalsPro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals and the new Pro Flight Cessna Rudder Pedals. Which are best?

Hey everyone. Is there anywhere to get extra lever heads for the Saitek throttle quadrant? My box either didnt have any extras or they have been lost in the two years since I got it. Thanks! hamoody

Good day, folks -After about 12-14 YEARS, my CH Pro Pedals have finally decided to give up the ghost. We had a great run together, but the potentiometer for the rudder axis has become just too twitchy and self-accelerating.... even with FSUIPC filtering the inputs, it just doesn't cut it anymore.Hands down, the CH pedals and yolk have been the two most long-lived investments I've ever attached to a computer system.All that being said, I now have the opportunity to set myself up with a new set of pedals... since I bought my original kit, Saitek has come into the marketplace with its own pedal set.I'm inclined to go with what I know and purchase another CH Pro Pedal set, bu…

I have a saitek pro flight yoke and a sidewinder precision 2 joystick that I use depending on the plane I fly.Boeing or Airbus.However, if I fly the airbuses I use the both the saitek and the sidewinder (saitek only for the throttles and flaps).The problem I'm having now is that when I choose the sidewinder in the controllers options in fsx after 2 minutes or so the sidewinder kind of "disables" itself, and I can only use the saitek.So I have to go up to the fs menus and choose the sidewinder again...and after 2 mins the saitek yoke auto selects itself again :( I made sure I was not disabling the joyistick (ctrl+k) and I was not.How do i keep the sidewinder enabled and…

Hello,I had a problem with the calibration under FSX, the Throttle didn't use the min and max settings of the FS Throttle, same with the brakes, although I didn't use the brakes, I still got the braking message, I got rid of the problem by resetting the sensitivity and neutralsettings in the FSX settings menue, now I wanted to try the same with FS2004, however it doesn't work with FS2004, the plane still uses the brakes, although I'm not pushing the pedals, also a serious problem I have is the rudder in both FS versions, I calibrated the pedals ten times and also got a replacement for the set from Logitech, however the rudder vibrates from times to times and it appears li…

I recently had to replace my primary hard drive and reinstall everything including my CH 568 Combatstick USB, CH Flight Yoke USB, and CH Rudder Pedals USB. Windows XP is now insisting that my CH USB Pro Pedals be listed first in the game controllers list in the XP Control Panel and my CH 568 Combatstick USB or my CH Flight Yoke USB second. This wasn't the case before having to replace my primary hard drive.This isn't a problem for Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator 2 & 3 along with a few other sims I have (including Falcon 4.0 AP). However, other (older) sims like Rowan's Battle of Britian, Falcon 4.0 SP, B17 , European Air War, Jetfighter V, and all the …

Hello!I have a question for you.Actually, i have an old Logitech Wingman Extreme, an excellent joystick, but it are old now ... It's time to renew it!!!Ok, can you recommend me what joystick to buy? Joystick or Yoke? I know for commercial yoke is more real, but sometimes i like to fly helicopters too ...I like the Logitech G940 Flight system ... It's a little expensive yes... Otherwise i like the Saitek Yoke system, but need to buy the pedals separate, and it's expensive too ... All is expensive in PC :)And the cheapest shops? I live in Spain ...Thanks you

I've had my Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant for over a year without any problems. I've been having a problem recently with the quadrant. I have my right most lever (I think it's the Y axis) mapped through FS9 for excremental flap extension. Recently my flaps will randomly extend without me touching the lever, which makes for an interesting situation when on final. I have read that I might need to clean the insides with a spray but it's been difficult to find accurate information.I know there are loads of posts about phantom key presses but I wasn't sure if this was similar.I do have a registered copy of FSUIPC but I am not using it for the throttle quadrant lever (I…

So my question is simple. I've looked around and found a thread regarding this, but this was for another graphics card.Anyone in my situation and found one or could direct me to a link with more information?I'm currently on 177.16.Thanks!Ok, it seems I have posted this in the wrong section and can't seem to find a delete button. Could someone move this? My apologies...

Hello, I was reading my PC Pilot Airliner Special magazine when I came across something that I never have before. In the "Hardware for airliner Simulations" part of the magazine, there is section that explains which controls you should consider, etc. There is one entry about the Saitek Switch Panel. At one point, it says- "... All the switch labels are backlit to ensure easy reading of the controls during night flying. I own the Saitek Switch Panel, and I have never heard about back lighting apart from this article. Does anyone know if it really does have night lighting, and if so, how to use it. Thank-you for any suggestions.
