saitek x52

Hi guys i wonder if any one else is having problems with the saitek x52 flight control system.

When i use the beta 1.07 all may control settings change & have found no way of rectifying my controls to being how i like them,it seems to think all the controls are on one stick but as you might know the x52 has two stick one is the joy stick is for flight control the other is for excellerate & decellerate (Throttle ) plus other buttons ect....

I will say if i dont start the game up with the beta 1.07 every thing is fine,if any one knows how to fix this problem or knows any thing about it then plz let me know,as there must be plenty of people that use this kind of system that maybe having problems also.

Would like the bis to address this problem as its f**king doing my head in lol as cant use the beta cos of this.

Yours BOSS......

what do you mean all on one stick? technically the X52 is "one controller" as you cant plug each in seperately [if you had to do so, then the game would probably not recognize one of them]

i own the x52 Pro, and have no problem using it w/ 1.06. havent tried 1.07 yet, and i dont plan on it until its final release.

you should specify more on exactly what kind of problem you are having, your problem seems rather vague?

right now the only problem i have is with the throttle, and the way the game is programmed for controls. that is, the throttle only uses the last 20% of the band [meaning i have to be at 80% to get any throttle response] and i dont like how its set up for "increase/decrease" thrust, i would prefer a % of thrust. eg, 80% thrust if you have 80% throttle. that way i can set my throttle to a certain percentage and forget it.

however this only applies to the fixed wing, for rotary wing, i think its actually easier to use the increase/decrease method.

another thing is the fact that you cant assign the whole band of throttle to a control. say i want to use all of the throttle for use as "increase thrust"... that is all the way back [0%] is idle, and all the way forward is 100%

This is a known bug with 1.07

1.07 beta update thread

If you look around you'll find more topics on this. A lot of other people seem to be unaware of this also.

I had the MS Sidewinder Pro, and now have the Saitek x52, and they both have the same issues with 1.07 while they work great with 1.06

I'm sure it will be fixed before the next patch is finalized.

Also, here is a joystick sensitivity post which has some discussions about the X52 and joysticks in general.

What i was trying say was it seems that most of the buttons on my throttle cant be asigned like i cant put the next & preview on to 7 & 8 which is the top & the side button on the throttle.

Plus on my joy stick i cant assign or use the fire button for next target with the 1.07 it seems to be the the backspace that it likes lol ,but when not using the patch every thing is totally fine.

Also i read on the link that you gave me that u can change the : sensitivity code plz tell me where do find the file that has these codes so i can change them.

Ps thanks buddy's for the info & also the link as well cheers for that.

First BIS is aware of the messed up buttons assigning in the latest public beta release (although that was one of the fixes in the last patch, but maybe xbox controller only). So i'm sure in one of the next patches the buttons assigning will be fixed again...

As for the joystick sensitivity codes, you can find them in your 'yourusername'.cfg located in your C:/documents and settings/username/My documents/ArmA folder.

Simply adjust the joysticksensitivity code line to your feel.

But i suggest to read that topic for more info, or give my last posted code line a try...

Cheers guys that was well helpful one problem down one to go lol.

Just have to wait for finished version of the patch to hopefully sort out the assigning buttons problem but thanks again for that nice 1.
