Title: X52 trouble, possibly a common issue
Post by: Latrobe on June 18, 2009, 11:26:27 PM
My X52 controller has been acting up. I've had it for maybe 2 years, and I now that they are a pain to keep working right but are great when they do work. The problem is only in my Y axis, it's sluggish. My X Axis respondes instantly to all movements I make, but my Y axis seems to take it's time to react. The cables don't seem to be loose. The problem seems to fix itself somehow after I fiddle with it a bit, but this problem occurs everytime I log into AHII. I've recalibrated it in game, and on desktop a million times already.

Do you have current drivers installed? When this started happening was it after a driver install/upgrade?

Are you sure you dont have to much dead zone set for it? And sure you have its settings right in AH? Thats what it sounds like to me. It might be a power thing too, or try another USB input. The one your using might set loose.

A squaddie of mines solved the issue of the X52 losing the calibration all the time, I was a victim of it as well. It seems in the last patch, everything was enabled under "Force Feedback" you click on the box that says "Disable all" and that seemed to have gotten rid of the issue as of now. I played 6 or 7 hours after that, and it did not lose calibration once.

I've said it before and I'll say it again(so have many others) X52 benefits greatly from a powered USB hub. Especially if you have pedals too and/or many other things plugged in to your comp. Powered hub is a must for the X52 owner. I had a slight issue where one of my rotations began to spike slightly. The hub fixed. Many others have had similar success.

My issue was I had to go into options>controls>map controller (in game), and under advanced options scaling was not enabled. HEELER helped me get that straighened out, and afterwards there was no more sluggish reactions and actually smoothed everything out. HEELER deserve a big  :salute , couldn't shoot anything with my elevators jerky up and down and then stalling my plane
