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

Using P3Dv4.3 and my Saitek Pro controls (through Spad.neXt) I have had no problems until 2 days ago. Now my rudder pedals input 'drifts' to give about 85% left rudder input with the pedals themselves physically remaining in the neutral position. I have tried re-calibrating through Spad.neXt and setting the various inputs to give a larger null zone, and a smoother signal response, all to no avail. I have also tried re-calibration via P3Dv4.3 - again no success. The problem also occurs running FSX Boxed version and FSX-Steam. Any help much appreciated. rr149

I’m looking to order a 737 desktop yoke from ace. It seems they are primarily a Facebook based company. Everything I have seen says message them on Facebook to order. The website they have doesn’t contain much info but there is an email for daryll. i have messaged and emailed yesterday and today but so far have no response even though Facebook says they usually respond within an hour. Now, I know it is weekend so I’m putting it down to that but if you google them there is a lot of stuff about them being hard to get a response out of and are very slow to respond to contact requests. I’ve also seen stuff saying they takes ages from order to delivery and have lots of de…

Hi--just got a new yoke that doesn't have a hat switch (or equivalent), so I'm looking for a small joystick in P3Dv4 to pan up/down/left/right. Any suggestions? Thanks much.

I've looked around on Thingiverse, etc but haven't found this. I have a set of Saitek proflight pedals that I bought before they fixed the design flaw that made them jam if you did a full rudder deflection. I know they had a fix-it kit that they sent out to owners to retro-fit their pedals to the new design, but by the time I found out about it they were out of the kits and weren't willing to help me. (gee, thanks). Just wondering if anyone knows of a fix that I could print myself somewhere. Right now I have a couple of woodworking clamps blocking the pedals from full travel, but that's unwieldy and ugly.

I just received word from RealSimGear they have released software for P3D. A simple install and indeed it works with their GNS530 unit. Using a Carenado GPS with it at the moment. Now to get the 2D bezel removed...somehow. Anyway, just an FYI. cheers, Greg

Greetings. Still struggling with two GF-166A radio modules. Does anyone know what the actual max amperage power requirement for GF-166A radio? I've asked GF but no response yet (if ever). I'd like to compare that to the rating on my pc and powered adapter. Thanks. Bruce

Hello, im looking for throttle quadrant cap(Black,Red,and Blue) file/scanned 3d for 3d printing. If someone has it, il appreciate your share. Thanks

I know that Saitek have in their catalog a push/pull tpm throttle unit but it seems to be out of stock permanently everywhere I've found so far. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/tpm.html I fly 99% light Aircraft. I currently have the standard saitek throttle http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/quad.html This works, but I'd love to get a more "authentic" throttle control for light aircraft. Does anyone know of a company that sells such a beast at around the £100 mark?

I'm able to install the yoke/throttle quadrant and my X-52 joystick but my rudder pedals won't install. I can't get the NEXT button to highlight after plugging in pedals during install. I've tried the installs from Logitech which again installs yoke and joystick but no pedals. Am I sol here ? Thanks Jim E

Just setting up a new computer with Windows 10 and FSX Steam. So far, I cannot get the Saitek panels to work. They are getting power but do not indicate any life when FSX starts. It is not a USB problem as they are going straight into the computer.I tried downloading SPAD but so far cannot get anything to work. Do I need FSUIPC to run these panels? I'm trying to set them up before adding ANY of my addons are installed.

Hi, As the saytek yoke is limited, in the sense that turns only +- 60°, and in the same way the elevator control has a short range. I want to ask if it is possible to calibrate the yoke in a particular way: to make that if I turn the yoke at full service at 60° in the Sim it doesn't respond in a 90° of full service, but at approximately 60°. This is because, in my opinion normally the yoke seems too sensible at the inputs. Thank you Andrea Casolari

I ran the Saitek Panel Test on my Multi Panel and found that the lamp on the NAV button does not illuminate. Has anyone replaced a bulb in one of these? If so, part number or specifications? I presume that it is a 5v since powered by USB connector.

I can't get the hat to work. I have Windows 10. Also I can't seem to find the latest driver. The driver is dated 6/21/2006. Is this joy stick supported in Windows 10? Thanks To All who reply. Bill McCracken

Hello, i have old saitek pro flight yoke and im confuse what's the part that cause sticky problem. I Have applied the first ring then the shaft bettween the middle ring with silicon spray and tried some vasseline( i know its not the proper lube but im trying ). It occurs when i do left/right bank then pull/push the yoke(pitch) as shown in the video.

I have not seen any button decals for the VRinsight Boeing MCP Combo II other than the set that comes with the product. Are there any others - 3rd party, etc.? I am particularly interested in using some of the buttons above the Comm section for lights - Landing, Taxing, Strobe, Beacon. Anyone know of decals for these? Thanks.

Broke off my USB plug to my Leo Bodnar BU0836X board. Need the wire pin out so I can solder a USB cable on it. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I recently got p3d v4. Everything was normal until about 3 days when you rudder pedals would act weirdly. I thought it was because i turned off automatic rudder but when i enabled it the problem still occured. When i push slightly to the right the rudder goes to the left. And it has a very weird sensetivity. But when i push all the way it goes to the right. The problem does not happen when i push to the left.

I have that one hat switch on the left side that I would like to use for panning. Can someone tell me how and where to do that?

I am currently looking for a new joystick. Now I have a Thrustmaster T.16000M and the twist grip rudder is not working anymore (it's permanently stuck in the left position). I fly a little bit of everything from military jets to helicopters to airlines, to GA planes. I have seen the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog flight stick, but I don't want to spend that kind of money for a joystick (it's way to expensive for me). What would you recommend? Edit: I have a rather small desk so I don't really have the room for a joystick with a separate throttle.

Greetings. I have noticed after latest W10 update my B737 Steering Tiller (I belive it from opencockpit) stopped working. I don't even see it in Hardware and Sound in my PC. DView program does not detect it either. It looks like this hardware vanished. I switched USB port and I still don't see my B737 Steering Tiller anywhere. FSUIPC does not detect it as well. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks for looking

Hi: I have a CH Products Pro Throttle...If my mind is functioning properly, I remember seeing a "fill in the blank" printable template of the throttle that would allow you to fill in the functions of the individual buttons on the device...I can't find it anywhere...I think it might have been a .PDF or a .jpg file...If anyone out there has a copy of this, could you attach it to a response? Thanks!Steve in Kansas

I am trying to convert an actual C-130 yoke to be used for flight controls on our flight simulator. I have no prior experience with this type of project and was wondering if I could obtain some advice on hardware and control setup. And/or, are there detailed guides available to conduct this type of modification? An example is the use of potentiometers to create the roll, and pitch inputs by movement of the flight yoke and stick. It is a flight control that pivots at a single point near the floor having a throttle arc, while the yoke rotates on a perpendicular axis to the pilot torso at the top of the control stick. I have read some sites recommend using 100k ohm rotary p…

With my A2A Cherokee all controls work except the throttle. With the DHC6 everything was working correctly until about ten minutes into the flight, then all of the controls failed including the throttle. I even tried using FSUIPC. I also unplugged the controls from the computer, then plugged them back in after about fifteen seconds. The controllers are about ten years old if that even matters.

The toggle switch located on the Saiteck X52 is not working. I use that switch to pan. All of the keys in the FSX SE are in default.

Hello fellow-simmers, appreciate any insider knowledge in this regard. Greetings, Wolfgang
