Thats funny, your getting rid of an x52 for a attack 3, and im getting rid of a attack 3 for a x52

Yeah I'm not going to use the logitech til my X52 completely breaks. I fixed its calibration issues thats all i had with it.

[The Fugitive]

after you unplug it and plug it back in you MUST recalibrate it in windows first. Once windows has it set up right THEN do it in the games.

[Tmac7]

How do u calibrate it in windows?

[The Fugitive]

goto Start/settings/control panel/game controllers Select the controller, and click properties. you can test there, as well as calibrate.

[Tmac7]

it doesnt show a calbration it shows these options nothing asking to calibrate :





The other options are with the lights.

[Yossarian]

Get a powered USB hub, and tape in the wires to the joystick and throttle.

Then, on the occasions when it does uncalibrate, unplug the JOYSTICK segment ONLY, plug it back in, and let it sit for ~10 seconds to allow it to auto-calibrate.

I have found that using NONE of the Saitek software helps reduce the number of uncalibrations a lot.

The X-52 CANNOT be manually calibrated in Windows (by any means I know of), since it automatically calibrates ITSELF, providing you leave it centred AFTER you plug it in.

[Tmac7]

yeah thats what i thought.

[Wax]

OK I plugged X52 back in turned LED lights off Recalibrated and didn't work. When i look in Map controls or what ever it is to list the buttons it shows y-axis and X-axis and the x-axis numbers are jumping from 2000-3000 within seconds constantly back and forth.

Unplug it and plug it back in with the computer on the lights on the throttle were the modes will not light up but that's OK.  It will use the windows driver. It will work fine except you cant use the wheels. I had the same dam problem a year ago and have been using it that way since with no problems. I never used them wheels anyhow.

Try it.. it cant hurt it worked for me..

that never worked for me  no matter how many times i try ed  on XP sp2

[Tmac7]

Yeah i did that wax and it all seems to be working fine so i guess i got a spare Logitech for future if it breaks.

Ive had mine 2 years and now am having probls with it, looking back with the hat switch isnt working all the time. Thats all the probs I had. Of course thats a major problem in a fight. Any suggestions on that?

Who ever posted about not downloadign the software was right, works alot better without, if you DL software you dont have access to as many of the buttons and you lose the calibration more. Just plug it in and calibrate and set up buttings in game and yoru golden. Most of my squaddies have the x52 and that seems to help it the most, with the exception of the time it takes to get use to it.

[gameofd1]

ive had my attack 3 now for 2 years and it's still going good for me just the lack of a HAT and my new laptop is making me get a new one.

In my experience Logi"crap" is to joysticks as Quadra"crap" is to carburetors.

[Tmac7]

yeah took me awhile and now i can't use another one. the logitech is to hard to move the joystick its not loose like X52's easy to move and takes sharper turns i think.


Phew i'll be back to playing tomorrow if the nice lady on AH2 office will help me get my password back if i give her my information

I've had the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for almost 3 years now, and for a $35 stick, I couldn't have asked for any more.
