Well Gentlemen, I am glad to see I am not the only one who had that Problem.
After loading the new upgrade, and importing controls I had a dead stick. I to many hours to figure out what was going on and why things were screwed up.
Even After deleating AH and reloading, Deleating Saitek and reloading I was still having problems with no stick, no buttons, no buttons highlighting in the Map controller, No nothing. I sent 3 emails to TECH SUPPORT looking for a little guidence and help but no replys came forth. They get Weekends off. Needless to say I was a little upset that we get the new upgrade, and no one at AH to help some of us computer dummies.
After cooling off some I began playing around and discovered a few things. #1, if you have the Saitek Profiler turned on and go into AH your buttons in the Map Controller will NOT highlight up on the Screen. That was a Major Problem for me, for with 33 buttons you dont know which is which. #2 Check your Saitek Profiler, I discovered that during the process of the upgrade and trying to get things to work some of the functions I had programmed in were erased. #3 Nows the time you must make the chose, use the Saitek X52 Profiler as before, or use AH setup, which sadly is lacking as it did not allow for, the mini stick controller, and Wheel Button, and Multiple Commands on buttons.
I Chose to continue to use the Saitek Profiler, started up AH and went to the Map controller to discover the problem as to why no controls. Hit advance and saw the x,y,z functions were all zeroed out at the bottom of the scale. I hit the default button and brought everything back up to where it should be on the scaler and HEY, we now have a joystick. Also for you people who have throttle not working, It is not the slider controller but it is the z axis and you must engage that in the AH map controller and set it to Throttle 1.
Hope this might help some of you X52 Stickers.
