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

My CH ProPedals seem to have developed an alignment error. When tested via CH Manager, the movement on the left pedal is (X axis) 0 - 255 whereas the right pedal (Y axis) is 20 -255. The consequence seems to be that in FSX the Differential brake warning is on almost constantly and in X Plane 11, the calibration bar is never zero for the right pedal. I've cleaned up the pedals external sliders with no effect and setting a Null zone also has no effect. I was wondering if there is anything else that I can do to correct this problem without taking them apart.

Looking for a HOTAS setup for military sims like DCS World and BMS4.33. What dompeople think, narrowed it down to: Thrustmaster T16000M £94 http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_UK/products/t16000m-fcs-hotas Saitek X52 Pro £154 (Not X52 because I keep hearing about QA issues???) http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.html

So, I bought the Saitek Pro Flight TQ and it works just fine EXCEPT after I disengage the A/T. It starts to behave strangely like reversing in air and so on.. Anyone?

I recently bought a new yoke and two Saitek USB Throttle Quadrants for P3d & XP11. HOWEVER.... I've run into an issue trying to setup the throttle quadrants for use in four engine aircraft; P3d will not let me use them both simultaneously:( I can calibrate them in Windows 10 & P3D without a problem, but once I try to allocate the axis of a second quadrant, neither P3d or FSUIPC (registered) will register movement of the axis on 2nd unit. It's not faulty as each will work individually just fine. Anyone know what's going on?

My pc detects the King ari throttle quadrant under hardware. I´ve installed the the usb software from flyelite FSX does not detect the throttle FSIUPC installed Jetliner yoke PFC installed and working. I have this throttle quadrant up and running on Windows XP but am unable to have FSX detect it on W7 Anyone?

So I found a brand new PFC 737 yoke ( Desktop version ) on eBay for CAD$900 shipped. Considering its $2000 in Canada that's a great price. I currently have been using a saitek yoke for a about 6 years but it has a horrible centre spot. Is the PFC Yokes a vast improvement? Cheers.

Hello, I need help. Whenever I deflect my rudder either left or right there is a 2-3 second delay before they return to a neutral position. This makes taxiing quite difficult. I also have XPlane 10 and the pedals work fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andy Daigneault.

Hi guys Got an interesting/annoying issue with this hardware. Running Windows 10 I don't own the Saitek yoke/throttle. I bought 2x Saitek throttle quadrant which are both USB. It sees and accepts the 1st one i plug in. But does not want to accept the 2nd one after i plug it in. I hear the chime like you do when you plug a USB device in then the chime when you unplug a USB device. So it places it in the unspecified area with no name. http://s955.photobucket.com/user/Jetflight/media/Error_zpsv3mwj9hr.png.html Am i able to use 2 USB throttle quadrants? Or have i wasted my money on purchasing 2 USB versions? Rega…

Hi all, Looks like my VRInsight MCP is finally dying. One of my knobs is only going one direction no matter which way I'm turning it. So, I'm looking at replacements and want to keep using LINDA with whatever I get. I fly both the NGX and the A320 as well as GA aircraft. Looking for advice. Gregg

I'm such an idiot! this morning my foot caught my Jetmax TQ USB cable thats plugged into my PC and bent it out. now i'm getting a message saying One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned. I have tried it on my 2nd PC but same message also tried a new USB cable. is it goosed?

So a pilot came to my house (hes a relative) and i asked him to try my simout. so i have the rudder pedals yoke and throttle quadrents, he said both rudder and throttle seem more than good but with the yoke he said it was nothing like real life. I dont know if its just me or what. in some places there was no response at all and the main thing he said was that it is no where near as sensitive as rea life, so im guessing X-plane physics is the way to go, but is there a way via FSUIPC to maek the controls more realistic? thanks alot :)

I am looking for a head track for xplane and p3d ,any recommend under 50 dollar good head track?

Hello AVSIM! i am looking for recomendarions on hardware to make my flight sim experience more realistic, and immersive. I currently own the following: -Saitek Yoke -Saitek rudder pedals -Saitek throttles (3 levers) -Logitech joystick I use the yoke obviously for aircrafts that use a yoke, and my joystick for the Airbus aircrafts. I'm looking into panels mainly as I'd love to have something like an MCP to dial heading, and modes in as opposed to clicking around. I just think sometimes when trying to change, speed, heading, altitude all at once with a mouse while trying to meet a crossing or speed restriction can become a bit overwh…

Just upgraded my system to a i7 7700k @ 4.8 GHz, GTX 1080, ASUS Maximus IX Code, and 16 GB Ballistix DDR4 3000 MHz RAM configuration. I'm absolutely loving the results so far with FSX:SE, I'm definitely able to enjoy smoother simming, some faster load times, and a better looking environment. Naturally, the ever-lasting VC FPS mouse bug is even more noticeable now since I am running a higher overall FPS - able to have 27-30 (locked) in almost every situation with weather and add-on scenery (minus AI traffic) except for when the mouse is present...where I'm losing 5-7 FPS. Certainly frustrating to have a smooth experience disrupted by something so trivial. Wi…

Just learned that Precision Flight Controls C2 Professional Flight Consoles are designed for X-Plane software only. Very disappointed. Does anyone know of any comparable flight consoles for FSX. Looking for quality, not lowest cost. John

Hello I got above mentioned joystick for someyear and ahalf now. at First I used it with FSX godl edition and for some time now I am on FSX:SE. Atfirst all was ok and my Hotas X worked perfectly, but in last ...say week or two , my keymapping I setup in game are not responding, although mapping is correctly setup. I Know that Thrustmaster hotas X got his own setting and I would like to deactivate those somehow, so system can use FSX mapping instead. I would apreciate if someone knows how to do it. Or if someone recognises propme I would also like to hear some solutions. Thanks guys Tommy

When using my Thrustmaster Rudder / Brake Pedals, it seems like the brakes are sticking and slowing all my aircraft while taxiing. The input test page shows the sliders about halfway up the scale when I open it. If I tap the brake pedals, the sliders then move to zero, which where I assume they should be if no brake pressure is being applied. The "Apply" button on the page is greyed out, so there's no way to save the settings. Also, the nose wheel steering is way too sensitive when using the rudders for directional control during the the takeoff and landing rolls. I use FSX, and have the rudder sensitivity set as low as it will go. I made sure the switch o…

Hi there, Recently, i have trouble with my saitek throttle quadrant as it keeps resting to default controls when i start FSX. I have to chnage the settings every single time i restart my FSX. I did not have this problems at all before but i don't know why it happened to me now. Anyone can help me? Thanks

hey guys need some info. has anybody used this product before from throttletek called 737. how is it ? can it work for any aircraft in p3d? is it only for big jetliners? can we use it on cessea? just curious to know before making a purchase. or u guys know any other sites selling throttle similar price range which would be better. thanks.

I got the new Saitek X-56 HOTAS for Christmas and am having the same problem others are having regarding the throttle that jumps from 1% to 50% when you slightly touch it. I've read all of the various "fixes" on other flightsim websites, including moving the sliders up, changing the config file, etc., but they do not work. Was wondering if anyone here has found a fix? Saitek support is no help. Thanks, Reggie

Hi I haven't used my FSX (Accelerated) for a couple of years. Tried to get back and find that my trim wheel works OK, my throttle (black knob) works OK. But no flaps Blue knox) and no mixture (red). They all used to work. When I go into settings control and try to re-assign flaps and mixture, I highlight the item but moving the levers blue or red, nothing happens. My trim wheel works perfectly..

This is my first forum post, and after a while of searching I felt like Avsim is the place to ask. Does anyone know where I could aqquire a desk clamp for the Saitek Cessna yoke system? I recently have purchased this yoke used from a guy online who didn't have the clamp. Any help is appreciated.

Ok this is where im at. FSX Steam and FSX on computer. I have 3 Saitek panels, ( radio, Auto pilot, multi switch), I have Cessna trim wheel, and CH rudder pedals (soon to be replaced with Saitek RP). My troubles began when I decided to download some sweet airplanes I have seen on other simmers YouTube videos. Also the EZDoc Camera, this was my first download. SOme down loads worked some didn't, no matter what I tried. I wanted to get more involved with the setting up of some of these add-on airplanes so I bought the FSUIPC manual and program. They suggested that if I was having trouble with the Saitek panels to use a program called SPAD. I did. And with some tinkeri…

How many PC consoles (not Laptops) still have PS/2 keyboard support? I noticed that current Tower PCs still have the PS/2 connections and wondered how common this was? Do you have PS/2 ports on your PC? Do you use them? The reason that I ask is that I did not want to go down the buy such-and-such interface then have to install/learn the software and/or buy loads of (expensive) kit so I thought to make my own input device which works rather well, though I say it myself. I would like to know if this is a viable option for others that are wary of meddling but would like a plug-and-play device? Clear skies, all!

hello all, my joystick, I never had one before and my first one is giving me trouble, its a Japanese joystick called "shark flight rocker FE-8858" it is an outdated joystick, but it was cheap. Now the thing with it is that it is freaking out! and it's only getting worse and worse like I pull it to the right slowly, and he pulls to the left like crazy! or I pull up, and he pulls to the left, and it's getting insane now, he is freaking out! is it broken? its brand new, I think I didn't calibrate it properly, but I can't understand what to do in the calibration screen, can someone help me?please! I am not finding the answer anywhere! I will link 2 videos one with the problem…
