I have created this post for quick reference for some guys in MA although this is in other threads.
Ok I had it working with the logitech profiler set up in Aces but it went tits up again. I had a system32 failure which really screwed with ALL game controlers. So this is what I did......
After reloading XP home I uninstalled the 3D pro. I then went to C:\local\pragrame files\HTC folder\sticks and deleted the Logitech PROFILE I had created. Yes, it was still there after the Uninstall. I then went to Device manger and deleted Human Interface and Yes, Logitech was still the interface even after the original Uninstall.
I checked game controller to make sure nothing was loaded. So, here i was with a CLEAN SHEET to work from. I reloaded Logitech Extrem 3D PRO with the downloaded upgrade from their site. Simple and quick to do. I checked the controler in the load and after with game controler. All was well and calibrated. Then, and here's the punch line, I started AH off line went settings\ Joystick\ Joystick controller (NOT CALIBRATE). I set roll pitch throttle rudder and hat AXIS. You HAVE to do each one individual.
Example... on the LEFT side of the joystick Inputter (for want of a better or correct name) CLICK Roll CLICK Extreme 3D PRO in the centre section and then on the RIGHT Cick ROLL. Then Click SET INPUT (bottom right) then Click APPLY.
Do the above for each AXIS. take to the air in the plane you have most experience with and wiggle the stick up and down left and right. If you get the "Don't move stick so quick" You need to adjust dead band and dampening for each axis. Now set Dead Band harder by about 1/3 and then set Dampening way high.. so about 1/3 the way up the slider. Take to the air and wiggle away. Adjust each Axis Dampener untill the plane feels right. You may need to readjust Dead Band if it's to hard.
So, now online I found the calibration was just ever so slightly off.
. But being the head \ wall type of guy I calibrated:( .
You guessed it RIGHT SIDE AXIS went TiTs:mad: . I thought the guys at LOGITECH must be doing this----->
. SO, here's what I did.. I went backk into Joystick Inputer (straight away still on line) and reset Roll AXIS Inputs and calibrated again. IT WORKED.
.
Checking game controller it shows about 60% of right turn axis missing AGAIN but in ACES it's fine. I have had to calibrate a couple of time over the last few days. Same thing happens ... right turn axis goes TiTs but I then reinput axis and calibrate and it's ok.
Am not a computer geek so can't say why Extrem 3D Pro seems to have 2 roll Axis or that the AH calibrater hates the 3D PRO. All i know is posted above. I have a ****e stick and have gotten it to work. All be it conviluted. If you have this stick follow the above. If your thinking of buying a stick.... well errm... "is this stick for you" ?
