Saitek X52 Pro throttle

[Dange]

~S~ All,

About a week ago I had three controls on my X52 Pro throttle began acting up .

The throttle itself started to require further movement before the movement was recognized ( Blitz and Stalingrad and

FSX ) ..

The RX axis for my radiators, and the RY axis for the oil radiator . These Axises on the throttle are the rotating ones on top

and lower right hand side . Both the RX and the RY axises go from o° to 100° without a gradual change percent wise (

ie: 0 -> 100 or 100 -> 0 ) as soon as I turn the rotating button .


Just prior to these issues ...

1 ) Ms update

2) an install of FSX ( Steam )

In calibration areas, all problem axises show to be working correctly ..

Current attempts to correct problems included ...

1 ) The obvious reboot ....... games and computer

2) re-calibrated throttle

2 ) a rollback to an earlier restore point

3) plugging and unplugging Throttle ( after computer starts etc. )

4) registry change IE: deleting VID ( the X52 one only , as there is a VID for each device ) and then reboot, did not help.

5 ) used a spare X52 throttle and got the same results as above...


Given that I have three flight sims that there are suffering from the same problem , I don't ' think' that a game reinstall

should be necessary . Also , if the controls appear to work properly in the calibration area , I also don't ' think ' that a driver

reinstall would be required , but I will if it is deemed required . .

Any suggestions ?

Are all Games run through Steam? I know that Steam 'can' fuck up controllers if a certain setting is active.
I will search for it and post if found.

In Steam, upper left corner, click on:

Steam -> Settings -> Controller

Check if Steam bond your Throttle to anything

(If you cant find some of them, maybe its because I translated them wrong, my Steam is in German ...)

Hope this fixes your problem

Konaber,

I followed up on your suggestion but even when I chose the x52 option, all that came up was a game pad configuration which wasn't the throttle configuration . Thanks for the help , but no joy ....

Thats the thing about this Steam Controller stuff. It trys to map all controllers to a gamepad style controller. So if your throttle was mapped in there to a virtual gamepad button/axis, try removing that bind.

If nothings mapped, then I'm out of ideas for now, sorry :/

Konaber.....

Just for clarity , I never did any mapping through Steam and there was no mapping shown to be chosen in the Steam controller section.
Thanks again for your suggestions . I do think that FSX and the mapping there might have caused an issue so my next step might be to uninstall FSX and see if that works .

It appears that micro soft update was the issue . I rolled sys restore back to middle of July and that has cleared up the problem .

Classic Windoof, glad you figured it out
