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

Hi, Fighterstick POV hat is recognized in the CH Control Manager software but has apparently and suddenly lost control of panning the view in FSX. Other buttons and hat switches on the Fighterstick and CH Pro Throttle function normally. Can you offer any tips for troubleshooting this, or perhaps recommend a fix ? Best to all, Ken Boardman

hi all does anyone know where i can get windows 10 drivers 64bit for this joystick, i click on this site but it goes to an empty screen ? after I click on cyborg evo force link it goes to an empty screen http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php

Yep. I am now an official convert. What a marvelously engineered product. Cannot say enough. Received four days ago and over-the-top happy with the result. Excellent materials, excellent design, precise manufacturing, easy to assemble, relatively easy to calibrate. I did at the time of my order include some accessory or better called mod items to preclude additional future shipping costs should I have wanted them later. So at the time of my CW 3 order I included the width adjustment blocks, the optional soft primary spring, and as set of the optional soft brake springs. Turns out the width adjustment blocks are the only accessory I ordered that I have installed…

I missed out on all the pre orders when the Bravo came out. I have held off many, many months on getting Flight sim 2020. I have the Alpha, its been sitting in its box just waiting to be used. i have searched the internet for months trying to find the Bravo, without having to pay 500 dollars for one. Well over the 4th of July weekend my search ended. I found one, I have no idea how many they have left in stock. But if you are looking for one, I found mine at PilotMall.com Paid 149.00 plus taxs and shipping. it arrived Thursday

So Figured I would drop it here for those that come to this section to look for controls... This is how I worked with the controls, events and data variables to make the TCQ-TQ work great with the TBM 930 "h" throttle quadrent.

Has anyone tried getting Thrustmaster quadrant airbus edition working in FSX? I've been trying for a week now with no luck. The controls (buttons) do everything but what I'm trying to get it to do. For example, the throttles don't throttle. Somewhere along the advancement of the throttles I end up in the external view mode. I even tried programing the buttons in the FSX/Settings/Controls and still no luck. If you have gotten this to work, can you please share with me what you did? I'm using it along side the Airbus Joystick. I contacted Thrustmaster support and they directed me to look on-line (YouTube). That wasn't a lot of help lol. I'll keep researching on-line until I…

Can anyone tell me if the razer orbweaver keypad works with MSFS2020. My similar device, a Logitech G13 is recognised by the sim but does read any inputs from the keypad.

Dear Forum, I probably have a very specific question and therefore I need to give a longer description: I am running FSX with Project Magenta software (Boeing GC, CDU and MCP) in a setup with 3 Win 10 computers. As specific hardware I have a MCP from CPFlight and a CDU from Engravity (firmware from 23.04.2007, V 1.05). The connection of the two devices with the software is in principle possible. But there is the following problem: The screen display of the hardware CDU flickers irregularly. At first I thought of a stutter in the network (there are articles and workarounds in the Magenta and WideFS documents); but this can't be the reason, because the phenomenon al…

Is there a way to remove the detents in the flap and speed break levers so I can use them with a Boeing aircraft?

Hi everyone. I had been using this with the FBW A320 for a while with no issues, until the new update yesterday. Now although the quadrant works in other planes, in the FBW A320 I cannot calibrate the various indents. I am having problems with the separation values... I get either the overlap messages or too narrow gaps between the idents. When I move the quadrant the left lever , the plane lever follows the movements. but when the right lever on its own or both levers are moved together, the plane's lever go crazy. Erratic forward /backword movements. Also the planes levers do not want to go into reverse thrust. They assignment i…

I really hope that someone at the Thrustmaster Company reads this. It appears to be an odd combo, airbus throttle, spoiler and flap unit (grey) and a Boeing FMS (brown). I think that Thrustmaster needs to design and market a Boeing TCA unit, I mean come on, they have done an awesome job with the Airbus TCA and they have the money to do it! I think they will sell a lot of units especially in North America, South America and the Middle East. I received my Thrustmaster TCA Airbus package this week and I am thoroughly enjoying it. The throttle, sidestick and flap and speed-brake addon is a nice touch and adds a sense of reality to computer flying. The units are sturdy an…

Has anyone found a solution to allow Goflight modules to properly work with P3d (v5,1) and/or MSFS 2020? One that does not require a lot of programming? This is for use with included aircraft only (i.e., no add-on aircraft) Thanks, Brian

Have Honeycomb Alpha which has worked well for past 12 months. Now have intermittent problem with POV hat. Sometimes, the POV hat is non responsive. If I move the yoke, especially in pitch mode, the POV will work again. Also, sometimes POV will not stop. i.e. if I select left view, the view keeps scanning left even if I release the POV hat. Once again operating the yoke will restore to normal. Windows 10 version 21 H1 P3d v 5.2 ( also happened on 5.1) Honeycomb software 1.0.5.0. Used with PMDG 737NXGu and A2a Piper Comanche + Beechcraft Bonanza Any ideas please. RoyH

I saw an app on MSFSAddons called FlightDeck and it intrigued me. Find out it interfaces between Elgato's Stream Deck and MSFS. Has anybody used the Stream Deck? It's not cheap but I like the ability to map buttons for each aircraft. I could see using multiple of these to 'build panels' (overhead for airlines, engine starts) or create camera views. I went ahead and bough FlightDeck and am currently using Stream Deck mobile. So far there are basic profiles for a couple of the aircraft (172, 208, A320) and only for a few of the commands (lights, flaps, gear). I'm actually amazed that the app syncs with and shows the correct status (gear will show down on the app when…

Just bought this beast but I am finding that the knobs on the left hand side are too small and stiff. Has anyone had any success at replacing these with larger knobs? Specifically I was wondering if they just pull off. I am worried at breaking something. Thanks in advance.

Hi All: I must be having a senior moment. My mouse cursor (driven by a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse) all of a sudden has started doing the following: 1. the white arrow changes to a gray one; 2. the white selection hand changes from a full size hand to a gray, shrunken, ½ to ¼ size hand when put over a switch, knob, etc. This happens in a 2D cockpit (don’t use VC yet) and while the cursor display changes as above, the gray cursor works fine in selecting items, etc. I have tried searching on a number of phrases like “gray mouse cursor in P3D’, etc without luck. Have also tried turning on/off “Enhanced Mouse Control” in the P3D UI as well as many mo…

I have been having a lot of problems with my Saitek Switch Panel and Multi Panel. I got them about 8 months ago, and it took about 2 weeks to set them up because there were heaps of problems with functions and displays etc. I recently just pulled them about for the first time in nearly 3 or 4 months (been busy with school so no time to use FSX), and I am back to square one. The panels appear to work fine using the test software that Logitech have provided. I use the original SPAD because it is free, and I am unwilling to pay for software like FSUICP or SPAD.Nxt or whatever it is called. However there is a problem with this program too ; it has always opened as a backgroun…

Hello all, I'm currently doing my Design and Tech A Level coursework, and am doing a project related to flight sim equipment. I'd just like to gather your thoughts on a few things to further understand people's wants and needs: - Given limited desk space, what would you consider the essential pieces of sim equipment (AP panel, radio stack, switch panel, etc.)? - Would you prefer a modular design so you could rearrange panels according to situation, eg different aircraft? Any other comments/suggestions very much welcome Cheers guys, Bruce

Any tricks to bring an unresponsive Saitek FIP back to life? Some time ago, one of my FIPs stopped booting up and is just showing the red LED on at all times. It's recognized by both Windows and Spad.Next (but with an error as being unresponsive). Now another FIP has also become inop, but this one doesn't even have the LED on when powered up, and doesn't seem to be detected by Spad. Both FIPs are relatively new (less than 1 year old). Tried a few different things, like hooking them to different usb-ports, changing the cables, hooking them directly to the computer instead of through a powered hub, and even installing the Logitech drivers (yikes). I also d…

I'm running MSFS with a few Saitek panels, i'm looking to add more, this will mean in total I will have the following: 6 Saitek lcd display panels 1 autopilot 1 radio 1 switch 1 set pedals 1 yoke so potentially 11 usb's to plug in. I already have a 7 port powered usb hub, the hub has a single switch to power the ports. this works well. I'm trying to avoid having two hubs, is anyone using a powered hub with at least 12 ports, preferably with a single switch on the hub? Any other solutions would be appreciated.

Hello, I have a Saitek X52PRO set and am using PREPA3D v4.5 on Win !0. I have a Flysimware Learjet 35A and it allows for Key Assignments to the controller using G1000_PFD_SOFTKEYS & G1000_MFD_SOFTKEYS. I can't seem to get any to work. For instance G1000_MFD_SOFTKEY6 is meant to be Spoiler switch - nothing and I have to use / Is this known to be impossible? I'd rather know than waste time fiddling with it. Thanks

Anyone with this stick having trouble with it after the WU4 ? My throttle slider and my rudder twist seem to interacting with each other. I have tried loading new drivers and reinstalling stick, but no joy. Worked OK before last Update. Dave Hinson

I'm getting into sim racing more and can't locate the chocks that came with my pedals. If anyone has a set that they do not use, I would be happy to buy them - thanks!

If you haven't heard of using Nyogel 767A damping grease to change the way your HOTAS setup feels, I thoroughly recommend it! As many of us know, in the UK, this stuff costs nearly £50 for a 100g tube (inc shipping and VAT), and you only need 1g to do a whole setup. youtube.com/watch?v=YLHryneLc5M For a limited time (until the tube runs out), you can buy Nyogel 767A on eBay in 1g amounts. 1g is plenty to do a Thrustmaster T1600M joystick and matching throttle (get 2g if you want to do rudder pedals too, and replace that spring!) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nyogel-767A-1g-Tub/164344507091 UK-based, international shipping available at eBay rates 😞
