I've got a new x52 coming in with a new system which has Vista as its OS. (I know, but I couldn't get xp with that deal.) Assuming I can get Vista operating with everything else, and the game loaded, do I download the Beta drivers from Saitek, calibrate in Windows, then calibrate in the game? I'm also figuring I can mess with SST at any time after downloading the beta for it from Saitek, right? Also, it sounds as if the profiles off the Beta SST will end in .pro rather than .dat. Does that mean I can't download and use profiles ending in .dat? Thanks for all the help so far - particularly Lt Clark's write up. I'm sure I'll be back.
