Joystick issues

[Sally]

The Joystick (Saitek x52) worked great last night...now its not working at all in the game....works fine out of the game but not in it. Please help!

Check its functions under Windows controllers properties.  Is it functional there?

Do you have it connected via powered USB hub?

Did you just buy it?

Did you try a different USB port? Is everything connected right?

Are you sure you have a mode that is mapped correctly? AH E6B allows 4 modes, are you sure you have one picked thats actually mapped? And if so do you have controls set correct?

Are you using SST mapping software? Did you try using the drivers from their websight? "I myself have never had issue with the drivers".

Yes I tried other usb ports, and no power usb hub just plughed into the back of the computer, it does work in windows all buttons, hats, sliders, and switches. I am using there sst softwear and drivers. I had to redown load the game because I now am running vista home premium and I also had to re down load the driver and programing for the stick.
It worked great the first night. Now nothing. The game sees it and I have my flight axis but no buttons or hats work.

your mapping functons from yesterday may have been gone.  u may have to remap all the buttons again.  dont use the sst software, most people here have problems using it in ah.  just download the drivers.  or be like me i deleted everything, just pluged x52 in a used the windows default drivers.  not a problem yet.

I Deleted the game and re-downloaded it. It works fine again for how long I don't know...If I have the same problem I'll wont use the SST drivers.
