x52

[Space]

So last night when I went in to the SEOW match, I found that my x-52 was not plugged in. I plug it in as normal, but no commands are getting through to the game. Software indicates that the x52 is working fine, but nothing happens in game.

So I uninstalled all of the Saitek programs and started over from square one.

Now with all of the original drivers and programs re-installed and updates installed over them (as recommended by Saitek) all I get is this 3-column thingy for the profiler. I suppose it is useable, but there is no 3-d model to lead me to all of the correct buttons. I can fly with it and use the throttle, but that is it. All other commands need to happen on the keyboard. Yes, I re-installed the Saitek magic keyboard/mouse/bus programs.

What gives? Where is the profiler I had before using these same installs? Most importantly, how can I get this thing working correctly?

For my peripherals, if I start them up after starting IL2, Il2 does not recognize them. I need to make sure all my peripherals are on and set for the correct profile before ever starting the game, else there is a very good chance (100% with track IR) that they will not work in game. It is an IL2 thing more then your JS or such.

Heya Wailwulf! I wish that were the case, but it appears not to be so. I get everything set like it is supposed to be and still nothing in game after several reboots, reloads etc. It is something with the profiler.

ps- thanks to Derring for trying to help me last night. I know he gave up his flying time and I really appreciate his efforts!

No idea if this is at all related or not, but I try to plug in my joystick onto the same USB port every time. If I plug it into a different port, the windows setup and software has to be redone and recalibrated cause it acts like a whole new joystick. Once its recalibrated and redone, it'll have to be plugged into that same usb from then on or risk redoing things all over again.

I had this problem when I updated to Win7. Last night I downloaded and installed Vista 64 bit software and everything is working great.

Space is back in action!

Well, except for the 1.2 mod ...

So, how did you fix it Sir?

I went to Saitek and re-downloaded drivers and controller again. Then, next to the DOWNLOAD DRIVER button there is a DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE button that gives up the controller SST_software_32_6_6_6_9 which I have installed now. The image on the controller does not rotate, but I can live with that. Looks like it works fine now, but have not tried it in combat yet because of other busy-work.
