Lowpass...I have a decent (well, decent for me) Hazardscript profile for the X45.  I'm at work right now, but when I get home I can post it somewhere or email it if you're still interested.

Thanks Aqualung... sorry for delay!  Just returned from a trip.
I'll try your script and see it I can get things working before TOD tonight.  Thanks again.

I put a shortcut on my desktop to run the Hapharzard script and then I start AH. Hmmm, I still haven't put my script up yet. Will do tonight if anyone needs them.

Lowpass - have you had any success?

None with the Hazardscript, Sour,
I couldn't get it to compile without errors.. (the drag & drop thing from the desktop.)  I gave up and nuked the driver, then reloaded the Saitek stuff.

Just like Rip says... every button programs and  works fine except the knobs.  Aside from the fact I can't always remember what I programed each switch to do.... It works great. (Oh, BTW, I do remember what the trigger does.. :D  

It only gets better from here!  

I like the hazardscript solution and will probably mess with it more when I have time. So, if you guys come up with something, please let me know.

Advanced thanks


I have this problem in Win98SE, and it seems like similar problems occur using a stick mapping rather than programming the stick.  Don't know what to say really.  My in-flight fix is to rotate the views(just draw a circle with your thumb on the hat) and that seems to reset it.  I like the feel of Saiteks, but these constant little problems are irritating me.  Looking at a Cougar toward end-of-year due to them.

X45....

Ok, I just bought a brand new X45 stick today - haven't opened the box and tinker with it yet....

(and there's always this) BUT - I did visit Saitek's website earlier before going out to buy the sticks and also found out that the next SST version is coming out at the end of this month and supposedly will fix all the problems with the sticks now (rotors should be fixed by then). At least that's what Saitek's website says, but who could believe anyone? Let's hope they did their part this time around.

Look for me up in the air pretty soon. Getting DSL next week and might be flying up in 56K later this week. We'll see.
