I tried to put that stick on my old pc two weeks ago and it's IMO a POS . I spent at least 5 hours and still didn't get the stuck mode switch to come off .
I will also add I ain't that stupid at gamecontrolers so if I can't get it to work I got to add that I just bet there's one hell of a lot more out there that can't either . PLUS the squeak made my old ch gameport throttle NOT be seen in speedkeys , grrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!
Soooooooo I orderd a CH USB set and low and behold all I had to do was plug them in and they all worked with NO drivers other than what windows had .
I then sent them home with my bud airsid were he now uses them with winxp . He could NOT get his x36 to work with that OS .
Rip try the FFB 2 from Microsoft with your old Saitek x36 throttle , it's working great and I love the feel in AH .
Did you buy the store warr. for the x45 ? If so just trade the squeak back in for a FFB 2 as the damn thing don't work for alot of us .
Sorry to hear you bought one of these , I got mine when I store returned a x36 that had hat problems .
