X52 Issues

[wiskyfog]

Is there anything i can do to fix a "pitch up & to the left" all the time, something that I can fix? tried calibrating zip, same prob. wont stay level in level flight. It will stay in auto climb and auto level however.

You probably won't like this answer but get a better stick, that means not a Saitek.

First calibrate in Windows using the Game Controller control panel.

Then calibrate in AH.

That usually fixed it for me.

[wiskyfog]

how?

First calibrate in Windows"?

if you have win7 there's no calibration utility.  just go into settings and move it around and it will calibrate itself.  all sticks have dampening and deadband to avoid this jumping around.  just give it a little in ah.  that will fix most of your problems.  ch sticks have just as many problems as saitek. i have owned more ch fightersticks (3) versus 1 x52 and 1 3d pro in the 5 or 6 years that i have played this game.

In Win7

Start menu, Devices and Printers

Right Click the game controller icon for your joystick

Choose Game Controller Settings

With my CH controllers, the dialog that pops up shows all three in a list

Double click for your X52 to bring up the calibration test window

There's a tab at the top of the window that says Settings. That page includes a Calibrate button

I hope that will help fix your problem.

Win7 goes nuts for right click instead of visual hints to the user

@ guncrasher, yes it is an X52

there is no way to calibrate my X52 in XP, so I just do it in AH. also I find it best to open the advanced tab and calibrate the axes one by one, rather than doing them all at the same time with the calibrate stick option.

I couldnt care less which stick is better than the other.  I dont get paid to endorse any of them.  but i just type my experiences with both of them.  just like some people love their g940  while others cant wait to sell them  .

move both sliders up just a little.  if you give it too much the nose will bounce when you move the stick and will be hard to shoot.  that should fix it.

err ... dont touch the deadband and damping, it has nothing whatsoever to do with an uncalibrated stick.



just to cover the basics, what exactly do you mean by "pitch up & to the left"?

eg. if you jump in a tank's main gunsight, does the aim progressively move up and to the left, without you touching the stick?

when i had my x52 it had the same tendency to pul up and to the left.  only way to fix it was to increase the deadband and damping a little.  assuming of course the stick was properly calibrated.
