Title: Propedals and X-52
Post by: humble on April 22, 2005, 01:11:58 PM

Once again I'm struggling with using my propedals with the X-52. AH only recognizes them once (and that is sporadic). Eagler mentioned he corrected the problem by using a USB hub.

I'm using a DFI lanparty board. It's a USB 2.0 board. I couldnt find a way to verify that its functioning as that in the contol panel however.

Any thoughts or ideas appreciated....

Skuzzy is this a known "bug" or should the propedals work with the X-52 seemlessly?

before I got the hub I showed you, I would have to unplug/plug in  the peds, go into windows, see them there and then open AH

even then they would hang occasionally in AH

that was on a brand new asus board with 6 usb 2.0 ports or using my older 1.0 belkin hub

got that belkin 2.0 hub and have not had an issue since

Ahhh.....

So your MB has USB 2.0 ports....boy I'm clueless on that one. Do you think any usb 2.0 hub will work or that the belkin is the safe choice...hate to get another USB hub just for that...

had great luck with my 1.0 usb belkin and when I saw a 2.0 for under $30 I grabbed it to try, half expecting not to fix the problem. I was happily surprised that it did.

I just plugged the pedals into a USB port on my computer along with a X45 and have had no problems other than a bit of fiddling to get them set up. Initally they wanted to control my airleons along with my rudders. Made my first take off interesting....and short.

I had trouble with my CH Pro Pedals being recognised intermittently when I had them plugged into a USB 2.0 port on my PC.  Plugged them into a 1.0 port and they work fine now...

So, I think it's a prob with the pedals and USB 2 rather than an X52 thing as I have an X45.
