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

FSX with Win 7 Home Prem 32bit. Controls CH Eclipse Yoke & PedalsBeen using controls 15 months from new. I am now experiencing occasional and unpredictableyaw behaviour just about identical to wind shear! This can occur "hands on" and in AP mode.The mystery is that on the ground and in spot view I see erratic rudder movement and failure to "center".As this occurs the pedals in the aircraft are moving backwards and forwards, this with feet off the pedals.Re calibration does not seem to workk as it should. Any ideas? Regards Wiggins

I didn't see a Classified section within the forum so I am sorry if this is against any rules. I have a brand new unopened Saitek X52 Flight system that I am looking to sell. I will let it go for $65.00 Dollars shipping included to the lower 48 states. If anyone is interested please send me a message on here, or email me at Ryand1 at nku(.)edu-Dennis Ryan

Hi all I've been thinking about buying external hardware to enjoy the flights even more. As I am a huge fan of the PMDG 747, hardware that looks like it would be superb. I've seen stuff from Saitek, but this really doesn't look like it. In first instance I'm looking for the MCP module and a throttle quadrant. I've seen videos on youtube of people who had stuff like that, but I couldn't find a name or didn't find anything on the internet. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hello every one, I have a problem for which I can't find neither cause nor solution.Let me explain.At the moment I am using a pfc flightyoke and digital throttle quadrant. For rudder I am using the saitek pro.Those pedals have, as most do, both the rudder axis as wel as the differential (toe)brakes.For my own convenience I also assigned one of the yoke buttons to act as a brake (both brakes and not differential)What happens is that, when I use the brakes on the rudderpedals, I completely lose the brakes on both the yoke and the keyboard.That's right, also the default keyboard assignement is lost at that point.Checking the keyboard assignments or the yoke buttons reveal n…

Hi all- I'm getting my new hotas set up with FSUIPC and all is going pretty well. What I'm trying to do and can't figure out is how to assign the hat switch on this thing to external spot view like I used to be able to do within FSX (I'm using fsuipc to assign all controls and I've uncheck 'Enable controllers' in FSX. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,Mark

Hi,Has anyone tried putting reversers for the Throttle Quadrant?I tried to do that by going in the control panel from Saitek and putting F2 as the key to press when the throttle is below 0%, but that didn't workAnyone know how to do this?Thanks,

Hi Guys I'm having real problems with my Saitek Yoke... After not using FSX for some time, when I now launch it, my Saitek yoke is acting VERY oddly: The tiniest movement of aileron or elevator causes immediate maximum deflection. This is ONLY yoke movement. Throttles, prop pitch, mixture, brakes and rudder pedals are all fine. This happens regardless of using FSX or FSUIPC for actions and/or calibration. I've tried: Deleting & rebuilding FSUIPC.INI and also standard.xmlReinstalling SPAD (although does not control axis)Installing Saitek drivers (later uninstalled)Unplugging and moving all the USB devices Initially, I thought it must just be faulty hardware. However…

received a new B.I.P.. Downloaded latest driver. The driver installs...the bip is listed under devices and printers. However, the proflightplugin does not install. I manually added the smarttech software. So...I can program the bip...save a profile...but FSX does not recognize the device. I've been at this problem since July...no luck with Madcatz tech support either. Run the driver install as admin. still no success. Anyone know where I can get just the proflightplugin software? Can't find just that on Saitek. Or,,,,any other thoughts about what might be going wrong would be appreciated. Thank you. respectfully,Jeffrey microsoft windows 7 home premium6.1.7601 s…

So I finally bought a yoke, rudder pedals, and a spare throttle quadrant, all Saitek. The yoke and rudders work great, I'm having some issues with the throttle however. I opened all the boxes earlier today, I literally just got them. When I first plugged everything in and had the throttles all the way down (at 0 not in the negative) my jet engines on screen would be at 0%. And when I put them all the way up, the on screen throttle read 100%. But now when they are all the way down it says they are at 22%, and all the way up is only 83%. Does anyone know what's going on? Did I program it wrong or something? Using FSX in Windows 7 64-bit if that helps. That's the first 'issu…

I have two usb joysticks connected. One is a Saitek Aviator and the other is a Saitek yoke pro. In Win xp game controller window, the Saitek aviator is always appearing as joystick number one, while the Saitek Yoke appears as joystick 2. How do I reverse the order in which they are recognized? The only time this affects FSX is when Ezdok fails to recognize the Yoke because it's listed as a second joystick.I've tried plugging the joysticks in different USB ports to no avail.thankstc

Hi guys, After reading lots of post, guides and so on iv'd finaly given up.After my CH yoke broke i'vd bought a Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant. But when i assign the throttle, reverser, spoiler and flap levers in FSUIPC it does some strange things. It automaticly assigns the levers to to other things and levers.Example: I assign the throttle to a lever and when i quit FSUIPC i hasn't saved my assignment but assignt the lever to something else. I just cant get FSUIPC to save my work. I need some help. Some facts: FSX, PMDG NGX, FSUIPC 4.73

Hi all- Just installed the HOTAS Warthog and it works..sorta. I'm experiencing the same problems as listed in a thread below. I'm astonished that there are no instructions on how to program this stick at this price. ANyway, any general pointers to get me in the right direction? Is the only viable solution FSUIPC? I have it so it's no a big issue for me, just wondering if I could use the existing controsl setting in FSX. I also added a set of Saitek rudder pedals that seem to work just great. This should be a great duo when flying helis in Orbx scenery which is my original intent. Cheers,Mark

Is this possible? Especially with FSUIPC?ThanksGhiom

I'm using and running the latest version of FSUIPC and FSX w/SP2 I have the joystick calibration going through FSUIPC and have set the min/max/centre values and all that. I have also selected FS spike detection on, or whatever it exactly is called. and I can see from outside view that when I pull/push on my stick for elevator control the elevator is full up and I still have about another 1/2" of joystick movemnt. This is true for the ailerons as well.. any ideas? I've recalibrated in win 7 and done everything I can think of ..

hi,I bought the Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals. The rudder function works perfectly, but the toe brake function doesn't: every time I push the pedals down I get the yoke functions.I tried to go and change the settings, but when I press the pedal down, nothing changes...How do I change the setting, so that I can use the pedals "correctly"?Thanks.

Hi, I'm having serious issues with the toe brakes on my saitek pro flight pedals. There's a real nasty and sharp deadzone kind of thing at the lower end of their range of movement. What i mean is that before i push the brakes over something like 20% of their range of movement (where 0% means that the brakes are off and 100% that they're on), absolutely nothing happens. Then, when i press them beyond the 20% point, they suddenly snap into action (As you can imagine, this is not good). Between 20% and 100% they are smooth as silk, no sudden spikes or anything. I've even tried setting the pedals up with FSUIPC, still no luck. Is this caused by bad calibration or are my pedal…

I'm thinking of getting another HOTAS after my present one is aging badly.A friend of mine has the x52 pro and i went over to his place to look at it. The many programmable buttons are a real advantage- the less i use the keyborad the better.I like the techy look. it's very cool. One thing I noticed was the relatively soft feel to the joystick. It was too slack for my taste, I'd like to feel some resistance when pitching up or banking. The Hotas felt mushy. My friend didn't think so: I guess he's just used to it.He couldn't think of a way to make the stick more resisitive. Can anyone care to conmment on this?

helloi try to make spad working with my saitek multipanel and the carenado planes but its hard !!i ve read both documentationsand if for example i try to emulate the avionic master button" on" with the axis joystick + the virtual spad button and fsuipc (in fsuipc for fsx i use" toogle avionic master") but i cannot switch it off.. i didint find the key to put for switch it off in fsuipc and fsx . idem for lights... fuel pump .....i can always on and never off.in spad i ve emulate the axis for turning off but i dindnt find in fsuipc the combination avionic master off..... or fuel pump off..etcany idea?thanks in advance for helphave nice flightsPierre

For whatever reason, I've gotten my controller settings mucked up. I've gotten most back to where I want them but I am still getting a brake annunciation. I've tried recalibrating the brake axis, reversing that axis and a few other things such as enlarging the null zome. What am I missing? I am using the CH Eclipse Yoke and the CH Pro pedals. Also, with the controller problem, I deleted FSX.CFG so as to get a clean config. Now that, that is done, I am getting distinct pauses. I am using W7 64. Any help is appreciated.

Everytime I slew, (Y), the plane spins out of control, and it doesn't stop until I press Y again. #####? Can anyone help me with this? I tried clearing Slew keys from the Controls in FSX, but it didnt help.

Im off to the states and wondered if buying a saitek switch panel as well as all the other panels saitek sell, would work on my pc when I got back home to the u.k.?.

Help please, I have a registerd copy of FSUIPC4. I have been runing it in vista for FSX and it worked great. I am now running FSX in windows 7. I installed FSUIPC4 and it worked for about a week. When I start FSX, I get a message saying that FSUIPC4 is corrupt or something like that. It will ask me if I want to run the software, If I select yes, my flight controls will not work. I have the CH controllers, peddles, quad, yoke. I have removed and reinstalled FSUIPC4 a couple times and it does not help. What could have corrupted this file? thanks for any input Doug Morlan

.... I'm a student pilot, about to get Garmin 396 or 496, I was wondering if it can be connected to FSX and read the data accurately , if the answer is yes, how complicated will it be to connect to FSX ????Appreciate any comment Yair
