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

Has anyone purchased and installed the new CH Products Eclipse yoke? How does it compare to old CH yoke for FSX? I see it has "paddles" that can be used for rudder control - can they also be programmed to do other FSX functions? Is it necessay to use the CH software or can all the features be assigned in FSX and/or FSUIPC?Dale

I'm getting OOM errors consistently with the PMDG MD11 and randomly with other add-on aircraft. I have tried all the suggested remedies including the 3gig switch etc. and nothing helps. My plan is to install Vista Home Premium 64bit. Are there any issues with the Goflight Modules and 64bit Vista? Thanks in advance.Bob..

Hello! I have the Saitek Yoke and provided that the installed on my computer does not see the time on the MFD screen. What better way to solve this problem? RegardsRoosevelt - Brasil

I've been playing around with my new CH yoke in FSX, and I'm having some problems. I'll climb to a random altitude, trim out the plane, and everything will seem fine. But anytime I used the yoke to adjust my pitch up or down, and then move the yoke back to its center position, the aircraft won't return to level flight on its own without first descending several hundred feet, and then bouncing back up to several hundred feet above my original position. It keeps doing that for a while before it finally settles. I've calibrated the joystick and followed all the instructions for trimming the aircraft, but it is very difficult to maintain level flight! This happens with …

I'm thinking of buying myself the vr-insight M-panel. Does anybody who owns one can tell me how you like it? Any problems with it or the setup of it? It 'll be nice to know.

I would like to buy and use the Go Flight "Corporate System" (www.goflightinc.com)set up (hardware) to fly the Flight One's Aeroworx X-treame King Air B200; (for Fs2004). I fly it in FS2004 with a computer running Windows XP Pro ( 32bit). At present it runs good with Saitek's Yoke, Throttle and Pro Flight Switch Panel. I'd like to upgrade to the Go Flight's "Corporate" Floor Standing Unit ( priced @ $2000 for ID perposes). Is anyone using Go Flight gear to fly the B200? I'd like to be as sure as I can before ordering this unit. Thanks for your help. jerrycwo4PS This is a GREAT aircraft !! You can fly it 100% from the VC Panel !

Hi, am running both fsx and fs9 under vista 64my x52 runs perfectly under fsx , the only issue is that when i am taxing or on the rolling on the runway the nosewheel is a bit too sensitive.in fs9 however, the nosewheel continually goes to the left Once in the air it works perfectly. I tried to adjust the sensitivity but that does not work. Has anyone seen this before. Im not sure if it is a adjustment or a driver issue. How do i adjust the axis that controls the nosewheel. The nosewheel steering just has a mind of it [email protected]

Just got the CH Eclipse yoke. Anybody else who has one - what are you doing with the bindings?Not the obvious ones like throttle, prop, mixture, flight controls, but the other buttons.I bound the two toggle switches on the body to control cowl flaps and wing flaps. I thought about binding one to the landing gear, but the gear control in FSX is a single button, and you can only have one binding, so I bound that to the bottom center button on the front of the yoke for now (I still end up reaching for 'G' on the keyboard out of habit though).I left the top left hat switch controlling POV, but haven't decided what to do with the right hat, either rocker switch, or either fi…

It works pretty darn good in FS2004 using Kroza's patch but one thing is either none of the engines start or they all start at the same time (like on a two or four engine aircraft). Are others seeing the same thing? I have sent an email to Kroza on my findings but I wanted to here what others are experiencing too.

I have the Saitek Pro Flight yoke, throttle quadrant and pedals. I have used them with FSX SP2 (Acceleration) on WinXP SP3 with no problem from some time now. I built a new machine and reloaded everything from scratch. My aircraft, every one I have tried, both stock and addon, show full right rudder whenever the pedals in attached. I looked at the rudder pedals in FSUIPC (4.40 Registered). It is showing full right input from the pedals when they are centered. FSUIPC further indicates full left or right inputs with even the most minor push off center. This happens no matter how I change the null zones and sensitivity levels.I have checked the controller in the contro…

Solutions? I have tried the recalibration Here is the current settings for them. Thanx.

Serious problems fellows,I just bought the X52 (not pro) and went to the Saitek site and downloaded the proper drivers and the new Beta SST all for Vista 32 bit, expecting with all those button not to have to fiddle with a keyboard.#1 None of even what I know (or think I know) to program in is working right. The only problem I think I might be having on my end is knowing when to do a macro and when to do simple key presses. For instance, we go to controls/buttons and for example it might say engage auto throttle Ctrl T (this is just and example) and then I might go to assign buttons in FSX to turn on pitot heat H+P . Notice the plus sign in H +P but not Ctrl T. Now a…

hi,i would like to buy the saitek throttle quadrant and use it in a three engine throttle configuration for the PMDG MD-11.on the product description it says that the throttle comes with extra knobs so that you can reconfigure the quadrant to your likings. i can nowhere find how many knobs are actually included in the package, though. is it three of each (throttle, prop, mixture) or how many?maybe one of you guys that owns it can tell me which knobs are included in the box? thanks a lot!regards,

I'm trying to program buttons on a joystick for a twin jet. My plan is to assign one button to start engine 1 and another to start engine 2. I've found the commands to open the start values for each engine and it works nicely (TOGGLE_STARTER1 and TOGGLE_STARTER2). Now the problem. Under the throttles, there's a small lever that is flipped up at around 20% N1 causing the engine to spool up. Mousing over this switch gives me the name Master Starter Switch (on/off).The only command I can find is Master Starter Switch - but it toggles the switch for both engines together. I can't find a command for just engine 1 or engine 2.What's interesting is that the commands MIXTURE1_LEA…

I cannot install the Microsoft Swinder for FS2004. Any suggestions? I have the logitech wingman extreme install but cannot get the throttle to go back to idle or reverse despite pushing F1, F2, disconnecting autopilot and autothrottle.

Hi everyone...I recently installed flight simulator 2004 in a PC with Windows Vista 32 Home Premium, but I have some problems with this kind of Joystick (Microsoft Side winder Force feedback 2).The problem is about the feedback force that doesn't work in FS9...Can someone help me to find some drivers or just a simple setting solution to resolve this problem ??? Thank you very much !!! PS: I can't install the official program about this Joystick due to an windows error, but it works fine and I have just the problem that I explained before...Thank you

Hi everyone. Obviously, support for Win7 Beta is lacking, (being a beta and all). Not sure where to ask for help or advice, so I'll start here and see where it takes me. Win7 found and downloaded TrackIR4 drivers and installed just fine. On the setup menu, it tracks my head just fine. However, when I start FSX (or X-Plane, or GTR), TrackIR quits. When I close FSX, it is working again. Basically, it works all the time but FSX is not getting the information from the controller. Does anyone have TrackIR working with Win7? I've dug around some on the NaturalPoint website, but of course, they don't support this version of Windows (and I completely understand, I just N…

Hi,i have bought years ago an MCP747 control unit including the EFIS part, now i wanted to upgrad also to an EICAS Part, but Aerosoft Australia doensn't exists anymore.Does anyone know how to get those part? Was also the production from the EFIS and EICAS Modules canceled, or does anyone produce and sell them worldwide?Thanks,Mark

I have a HeliKit throttel controler which I like very much, it only controls the throttel. For some reason the torq prcnt jumps from 28 to 34 after a few seconds. I can get it back by pressing the F1 key, but after a few seconds it shoots back up to 34 %. I cannot adjust it from the control panel, or from the menu panel - controls - during flight. The only option I have is to set it to default, which I have never changed, but it still goes back up. Any information would be appreciated.

I have recently changed from a Saitek Evo joystick to an Evo Force joystick in FS 2004. Now all the planes load with a throttle problem. The full movement of the throttle lever only gives me from 1% to 99% thrust instead of 0% to 100%. The bottom setting makes taxiing difficult. Saitek tech support can`t help. Any ideas? RM.

Can any one help me, for some reason the throttle quad thats comes with the yolk has stopped working, lights up but when I test it I get no movement so when I try to use it in flight sim the throttles don't work. Also how do I configure the rudder pedals so the toe brakes work and the plane stops going around in circles, I do have another saitek pro throttle quad but don't know how to set it up to work instead of the yolk one.CheersJohn viney. :(

Is is possible to connect both a Saitek x45/X52 throttle and a CH fighterstick. I currently have the throttle but it has a gameport connection on it that connects to the joystick. I prefer the CH joystick so to me the combination of these would be the perfect setup but I dont know if I can pull it off. Has anyone tried it before or is it even possible. ThanksScott

*EDIT* NM, got it fixed!!! :( :( :(Mods, please delete.
