Saitek Issues

[turt21]

I have a Saitek X52. LAst week AH started to forget some of the button designations. Now there are a couple that the game doesnt see at all. The buttons work on the Saitek software.Aslo Im not having any luck getting my vox working. I wouldnt think they were related but last night when I pushed the stick to the right I started getting feedback in my speakers like there was some kind of conflict.Ive reinstalles Orig Saitek software and also inst new dl version. Win 7 ASUS 3Ghz w 8G ram and a 2 G vid card. Comments? turt

Try using the stick without the Saitek software and see what happens.

I did a search on my machine and theres no Saitek software there now. When I try to program range and channel buttons even when I click OK when I bring up the channel buffer the chaznnel and range lights dont light up when I select the buttons.CAnt get flaps to work either

For VOX, check the Options->Preferences->Game Sounds panel to make sure you have the correct devices selected.

for all the x52 buttons to work go to devices and printers> right click on saitek x52 then select game controllers, then click on x52 f;ogjt control system then properties. and leave it open.  you must do that every time you play aces high.  that's they only fix.

Must be a Windows 7 issue.  Saitek X52 worked on XP & Vista, without having to do this.

Some of the Saitek buttons do not report to DirectX without the Saitek software being loaded.

No Vista needs it to......if you want full directx functionality............... try it it gives you more functionality than the saitek software does..................

ummm, no it doesn't.  To have that window open, in order to make the Saitek work, is kinda like pissin' in the wind.  But, hey sounds like you know what you're talking about...

I get a blue screen from time to time while in turret view of a tank and my only solution is to type in the dot command "EF" to get back to the tower and escape the blue screen. I believe there is a stability issue with the x-52, dx9, and win7' so I will give semp's idea a try.

I have tried almost every video setting in the game with the same result.
(Radeon hd 7979 w/ 3 gigs ram) If I get the blue screen again I will post the dxdiag.

I installed win 8 about two weeks ago. I did the upgrade and not the usual format HD and go with the OEM version that I have done in the past when moving to a new version of windows. I am pleased to report I have not seen a single blue screen. I did have to d/l new video drivers but other than that Ah works great.
