X52 help

[LThunderpocket]

ok so my X52 came today.i went to set it up but for some reason i move the stick and it makes my view look up.the X and Y axis numbers dont even move when i move the joystick.moving the joystick highlights "button 0"

2 of the keys that allows you to map are the look up and look back up.

if anyone can help it'd be great

It sounds to me like you need to just go to map controllers and map the axes to elevator, aileron, rudder, ect.

[LThunderpocket]

they are mapped to it but the numbers showing that the stick is using those inputs dont move

have you tested/calibrated in windows? 

also check the serial cable pins...make sure none are bent....if you can, check for continuity also..if the problems aren't fixed within windows...you could have a faulty cable

let me try that.its new so it shouldnt be faulty.

Shouldn't be...but could have a manufacturing fault......doesn't take much to mess up one of those wires internally.

the only calibration is the thing it has with the software.do u have it?

[guncrasher]

hey lt you dont need the software, too many problems with it.  it looks like you havent mapped it right within ah.  the problems you are having are the same I did when I first got the stick.  I'll see if you're online tonight and help you with it.

control panel>game controllers. you should have a box open up, highlight the controller and click on advanced tab...as semp said no need for the software....hmmm actually. Do you have the pro or ordinary....not sure about the pro...have heard from some that they had issues with it...not sure what they were though...just in game anomalies.

ive got the regular

IMO, remove the X-52 program, reboot, & use the AH map controllers afterward....? I always bring up the map controllers Clipboard, then move the device I want mapped, then reassign, etc. & of course you'll have to calibrate.

Not to pee on your parade but I'm guessing (with the knowledge from personal experience and numerous posts in the Hardware/Software forum) your X52 will fail to calibrate properly in 6 to 12 months. If you have a money back guarantee with your purchase, send it back and purchase a CH set-up. It will last you damned near forever with little or no problems.

I have used 3 (2 just this year, 1 returned after 2 hours) ch sticks versus a single x52 (had it for 3 years, no problems).  no guarantees in life.

   Yeah it shouldn't but....  My x52 was broken out of the box.... Throttle had HUGE dead zones. Went back to x45 and been using it ever since. It's OLD but still works pretty good. I guess between the x45 and x52 Saitek decided they were trying to hard and should probably just make em look cool and not worry if it really worked properly...
