@D_Fens:

Thanks for the reply,
For now i am using the profile you have postetd in the other thread. It seems to be very “functional” and intuitive, thanks a lot for sharing.
I just have one question are the keybindings for the keyboard the same as in the picture Hard~Deck has posted in his original thread?

OK. You’re welcome, I’m glad it’s useful.

The keyfile is very similar to Hard~Decks, but not identical. With the differences in the Saitek profile, I had to make corresponding changes to the keyfile. There is also some customization that I had made for ramp start, the ICP and pan views. Unfortunately none of that is very well documented (sorry …. :oops: ).

Ok, the problem has solved itself. I don’t know why and how but now the joystick seems to be working just as it should again.

I have a similar problem with Hard Decks profile….can switch to any other profile and watch Cpu drop, then go back up if I load the HD one again. Wonder if it has anything to do with the version of Saitek?

I had BMS running ok for a little while, then suddenly I started getting blue screens in the middle of missions. After booting back up I found some information in the mini dump:

072714-23727-01.dmp 7/27/2014 9:09:00 PM SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x1000007e ffffffff`c0000005 fffff880`05e70201 fffff880`02fd2988 fffff880`02fd21e0 SaiK075C.sys SaiK075C.sys+8961 Saitek Hid Driver Configuration Software Saitek 7.0.27.13 x64 SaiK075C.sys+22201 C:\Windows\Minidump\072714-23727-01.dmp 2 15 7601 332,072 7/27/2014 9:11:12 PM

I also noticed things getting really sluggish while playing and after exiting BMS saw my CPU was at 50% with nothing else running, most of it being used by a process called system. Reboot, 0%. Start the profile tool, still at 0%. Load the Profile, it shoots up to 50%. Unload it, right back to 0%.

What the?!?

For what it’s worth I am using Hard Decks X52 profile here https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?7909-Saitek-X-52-Profile

EDIT: I am trying other profiles, they do not seem to cause this CPU spike…

No problem. Just inbox me your email

Had 3x x52, 1x hardware improved (modded) x52pro and now a completly modded x55. (see here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?18306-Project-X55-GERMANY-%28Mod%29&highlight=germany+mod)

The problem you are describing is electronics based on the x52 standard (if not clearly based on wear of hardware of course) - not on the Pro!
I had multiple comminications going on with Saitek back in days about that particular problem and they confirmed it.
Not only that, but they thanked me for it, because i prooved them the case by demonstrating the solution for it: how to avoid this “electronic off-center” problem.

The solution is simple: Keep one button (doesn´t matter which one - on thruttle or stick) constantly pressed at all times and you will see in the control panel it always centers properly again (what i did was to “clip down” one of the mfd buttons with a piece of plastic).
I know hah - it sounds ridicilous, but you can easily replicate (confrim) for yourself.

Saitek stands for great ideas, cool concpets, but definitly NOT for good quality after all my expiriences with their product lines in all those years.

@caper:

I’m concern with other USB devices drawing amps. TiR, wireless modem, TM MFD, etc.

More likely the problem is around the USB controller on the motherboard.

Some boards even have their own fuses/breaker per USB I/O.

Suspect lower quality boards?
