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

First, I fly with the PMDG747 almost exclusively. I've been looking at buying some hardware to improve the experience, and I was looking at these. Would anyone recommend that I buy these or is there something better out there that you would recommend?The yolk:http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-...41%28ME%29.aspxThe rudder:http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-...35%28ME%29.aspxThe throttle (I am unsure about buying the throttle)http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-...43%28ME%29.aspxDo you think for the throttle I can have one lever be for the spoiler, the second for the flaps, and the third for the throttle? Can I customize this in FSX?How do I plug all of…

Leo Bodnar and myself have been pretty busy for a while, developing our GarSIM GNS 530 hardware interface, I will post a web link once our site is up and running.Regards,Steve.

Boy am I having trouble trying to calibrate this ch quadrant with the ch control manager! Is it better to just use the FSX control settings? I have engines that will not start and some will. CTL E will not even start engines. The throttles are jerky, moving on their own on some aircraft. Please help. I had this problem long time ago but I don't remember how I solved the problem. My OS crashed and I had to re- calibrate Yoke, Peddles and Quadrant.

Hi guys!!i'm looking for an ac adapter that fits in my pro flight yoke system from SAITEK. Even when i know that below the connector is printed 5v 1.5a, i don't know the right pin.Anyone knows the right pin size? I looked everywhere in the manual (?? if i could say manual)and in the box but i couldn't find anything!Pls if anyone has one, or knows the answer i'll appreciate it. Really!!! :( Best regardsIgnacio.

Hi, not sure if i'm breaking any rules by posting this, please remove if it is.I am selling my Saitek X-65F Joystick & Throttle system not because there's anything wrong with it. Far from it, the build quality is astounding, but I predominantly fly warbirds in FSX and Rise of Flight, and the force sensing technology just does not give me a sense of realism for these aircraft types.I've put it on ebay for sale in the UK.CheersJameshttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Saitek-X-65F-Combat-...6#ht_602wt_1139

Hello fellow simmers,I've just saw Elite has 64bit version of their software for FSX. I just installed the new software and their associated USB drivers and FSX will not recognize the throttle quad. I also have FS9 installed (in separate folders, etc.) and it has no problems recognizing the elite throttle quad.Is anyone using the Elite king air throttle quad in FSX with Win7 64bit? If so, do you have any issues getting it to work? Regards,Bob

Hi allI am thinking to buy a CDU to enhance the FSX+PMDG experience. By doing a search I have found many CDUs hardware from wide range of prices. So I got some questions:Which is the CDU that you use and why?It is possible to have an Universal CDU for different Boeing planes or PMDG products?If there is another post with this questions can you provide me the linkThanks in advanceJcmmg

I downloaded the most recent CH software which does allow to "swap" the POV to the right hat switch.However, FSX settings for the Eclipse yoke to select "View Pan" only recognizes the LEFT hat switch?Anyone been able to use the RIGHT hat switch for POV instead of the left one on the CH Eclipse Yoke?If so, please help. My old CH Yoke only had a hat switch on the right side. I'm too used to it being on the right. However the new Eclipse yoke has hat switches on both sides w/default for POV on the left.

Registered two days ago and still not activated. You guys think the are still alive?

Hi GuysI have been cleaning up my FSX . This included removing add ons and such that I have never used and then completely removing and reinstalling FSX ( with SP1 and SP2) and rel;oading the UT files I have and some aircraft. It really has made a difference in perfomance and I am glad I took the few days to do it.My only problem is that I cannot get my CH Yoke config to save in the system. It works great when I do load it, but as soon as I switch off the computer and restart I have to reprogram the yoke controls. I have looked at all the obvious things like making sure that all the config files are not read only and that I make any changes as administrator but nothing s…

Should i take i5 or intel core2quad Q8400 moustly i pla to use fsx with Win7 home premium.also how fsx will perform with this procesors??

I fly mostly multi engine propeller aircraft; twins and four engine birds. I just got a new Saitek Yoke and Throttle quadrant and I also purchased an additionl throttle quad. The manual is not too specific and I have not been able to get the two quads working properly. One will work fine for single engine but the second unit is totally inoperative so that I am not able to configure the setup for multi engine. I'm hoping someone on the forum already has this working and can steer me in the right direction.Thanks,Jesse

Hello Guys,I am loosing my throttle calibration time to time :( , I have Saitek X52 PRO and yoke/pedals , I just installed their drivers(no software) and calibrate them via registered FSUIPC. But I have to check my FSUIPC throttle calibration on first of each flight, it sometimes is between ~(-16384 up to 16384) but sometimes on ~(-11700 up to 1600).Your advice will be appreciate.

Hi again,As I use GF Airliner Set, X52pro, Saitek's Yoke, TrackIR, Th2Go and Keyboard+Mouse I have plenty USB devices. GF uses two powered USB hubs. I have added one Belkin powered USB hub because it was too much. It was working flawless for a year or so.From few days, I do have problem - one or two devices does not get recognized. It is strange, because I have not added any USB device nor change the existing ones.It occurs on boot (then unplug/plug again helps) and when turning Autopilot On (this has the most LCD displays so I assume it has the most power requirements) - which means no more flying and christmas tree on some of the USB devices, occasionally BSOD.I am cons…

All;I am thinking about adding a GoFlight MCP but before spending $500, I wanted to ask a couple of questions:1. I have both FS9 and FSX under Win7 64 bit. Any concnerns?2. I have the PIC 737 from Wilco. Any concerns?3. As I have no rack but will have the unit "loose" on the desk, I was wondering what are the physical dimensions of the unit?I do have the full registered version of FSUIPC.Thanks.John

I just replaced my saitek pro flight yoke with the ch yoke. One problem, it seems to me that the trim wheel is very stiff and its making my thumb sore. Does anyone know if this is right or is it possibly defective?

Hey guys... I've come to the conclusion that the TIR clip pro is a little flimsy and needs to be more solid. I just realized the two times I dropped my entire headset from about knee level (while sitting in my chair) so call it 1.5 ft, that one of the tiny clips inside the unit (behind the center LED) has broken off! So now the little arm holding the LED's won't stay in one spot. Has anyone run into this problem or am I the ONLY person who has dropped their headset onto carpet???My wife will kill me if I have to drop money on a new clip pro.... UUUUGH!!!Please anyone have suggestions?

Hi all,I have a new homepage for my G15 Speedbird applet and my G940 Lighting Control (LED control):www.the-speedbird.comHave a look :-)RgdsTim

Asked my wifes uncle who has a Warrior II what he uses on the yoke shaft when he gets his annual done. He said " Caliper grease" for brakes. Bought some from pep boys and it transformed the feel of my old ch yoke. Super smooth and tiny inputs are now easy to do. I can fly with one finger now. Just dont get it on your clothes or on your keyboard.. ***You have been warned** A little goes along way.

Hi,Here is a few problems i am having with my yoke system,1. The display with the clock keeps flickering as if the bulb is going2. The red lever has stopped workingAny help will be appeticedThanksDale

Dear all, I have a Saitek Evo Wireless joystick with an almost broken USB dongle. Does anyone know if you can buy replacement dongles? I am in the UK if that makes a difference. Thanks, Kevin

So, I'm trying to put together a decent HOTAS system, but I really love my T16000 which does not have an attached throttle. If I had an X52, could I use just the throttle quadrant along with my T16000M? Specifically, do I have to plug the X52 joystick into the X52 throttle...Thanks!

Somewhere I saw a description of how to use a USB nuber pad to respond to FSX ATC commands. Anyone remember where it is?
