X52 help

[2bighorn]

it's a proprietary cable that goes from the stick to the throttle

Small correction, it's a standard PS2 cable, widely available.


As for the USB troubles, some functions of the X-52 driver will tie to the specific USB port. If you change the port/hub, reinstall the driver.

 To add to Bighorns valuable imformation,check said ps2 cable make sure no pins are bent out of position.This can easily happen when messing around with all the conections. If you find a bent pin,carefully straighten it and try again,if no pin is found to ne bent or loose try a replacement cable,they are fairly cheap and available at most bigbox electronics stores.

Thanks for correcting my info.  Couldn't think of 'PS2' and I wasn't 100% sure it was a standard PS2.

If I were so inclined, I'd take the free vulch bet though dedalos.  Without the throttle attached to the PC, the stick has no means of connecting to the PC (the PS2 cable is the only cable on the stick, and it goes from the stick to the throttle, then the USB connector goes from the throttle to the PC) ergo it's gonna be mighty, mighty difficult for the PC to recognize the stick without the throttle plugged in. 

Bighorn and Morfiend have got the right of it.  If it were me, I'd buy a new cable, see if that fixes it and if not, then pursue warranty.

1 free vulch says it is the port.  Once he unplugs everything else the stick will come alive.

you owe someone a free vulch

  That's why he leaves his blinker on,so he can find the cable!

I have an x52 for 5 years and I have no clue what you are talking about.  Why are we talking about  the throttle not being plugged in to the USB?  Yeah, if that is teh case it will not work.  It will also not work if the PC is not plugged in but again, how is that relevant?

Misread what you were saying.  I was reading it as "unplug everything (including the throttle) except the stick", but looking back I see what you meant was unplug everything but the X-52.

Uninstall program, install only driver, reboot with stick plugged in, calibrate and assign controls on AH. IMO

Hi guys,
Just connected my brand new X-52 Pro from BestBuy.
Been usin cheapie sticks prior to this. After a few initial glitches, i got it workin fairly right. That is to say that many of the functions were spot on but a lot of it wasn't right.
I had to close program and re-start computer to improve what it would do.
Each time it picked up what I had programmed the (on-line before)
Weird but that's how it went.
