Saitek X52 is TRASH!!!
-
I can´t understand all this comments about X52 and windows 10, the last beta drivers from Mad Catz for Windows 10, works fine without issues, the last are from 18/11/2015, and before since 18/09/2015, this shows us that the devs are involved and working, try out and not sink in a glass of water Falconeers!!!

Probably because those drivers doesn’t work correctly for many users?
I did a clean installation with new and old drivers, but actually I still have a relevant issue that I hadn’t when I had Windows 7 installed… -
To AMOP1970:
I had the same problem (windows 10 BMS 4.33), fighting since two or three days trying to fix the cursor problem.
I tried the solution from Saruman, but it didn’t work for the cursor problem.
Finally I download the latest version of driver and software from Saitek : ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Windows10/X52/
It still didn’t work properly for the cursorSo I decided to change the command in BMS 4.33 for the cursor.
Originally, it is a combination of shift and arrow.
I changed for a key F9,F10,F11,F12 : and no more problems with the cursor!!!Of course, it means I also changed in the Ministick command in the SST profile with bands, and F9 to F12.
I think the SST software do not work well with combiantion keys like Shift and arrows.
I hope it will help…

Revert back to Windows 7…problem cured

This stuff doesn’t work properly with windows 10 and Falcon BMS 4.33!!! It’ better to throw it to the TRASH!!!
There is little difference between beauty and trash, our brains make the picture how we see it

I hope somebody can help me to solve this issue!Like you mentioned before, that looks more like a hardware problem. What happens to the windows gamecontroller callibration when this occurs?
I used the X45 before but i totally skipped the SST software, edited the keyfile to map DX commands to the buttons. The cursor can be assigned to the throttle-mouse on the avionics tab in the setup/controller/advanced section. Never had any issues with the cursor……

A_B, Your post made me remember something I read in the DX Facility manual…
Mapping the Shift Button
The callback name for the DX button that should act as shift button is: SimHotasPinkyShift When shifting is active, this callback replaces the former “SimPinkySwitch” callback. It still fulfills the same EXPAND functionality if it is only tapped and released. When it is pressed and held down, it acts as shift button. Obviously, it is meant to be mapped to the pinky switch on the HOTAS. In order to make shift work properly, the shift callback has to be mapped twice in the keyfile. Once for the pinky button, and once for the pinky button plus shift offset. Example: The pinky switch on the HOTAS uses DX button #3 and the configured shift offset is 256. Hence the keyfile needs to contain the following lines: SimHotasPinkyShift 2 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 SimHotasPinkyShift 258 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 Note: If the 2nd callback mapping is missing, the shift button can not be released correctly again once pressed.
I was wondering if anyone had done is on a Saitek x-65?Yes. It works as intended with zero issues. I have nearly every input on the hotas mapped as shifted.
Cheers!

No, I don’t think so. When I had similar issues, I had the same kind of symptom (lights flashing/changing colors). When I reverted drivers and an older Teamspeak version, everything was fine. And has been since.
IMHO, it’s drivers or a conflict with another program …. or both.

if you’re using TEAMSPEAK MAKE SURE at the HOTKEYS tab the right down bottom scroll menu selected"mouse and keyboard only"…SST software conflicts and causes pitch problems and other issues when teamspeak hotkeys are set to “default”…Hope this helps

hi guys,

i search a solution for optimize my profile
tks

Thank you all for your kind suggestions, guys.
I’ve disassembled the bottom of my stick, and didn’t find any cable corrupted.
I’ve changed the setting in the TS3 hotkeys options as suggested, but the problem is still here, probably al little less than before, but still present.
After the flashing of the led/display sometimes the mouse cursor start to move continuosly up or left, so I think that there should be a conflict between the mouse on the throttle and the normal mouse.
I’ll let you know as soon I discover something useful.
Regards! -
Was the X52 plugged in when you installed the driver?
-
Nothing, I just did once again the whole procedure, unplugged the joystick, uninstalled the old drivers, deleted the reg voices and directories, rebooted the pc, and installed the latest version of the beta drivers, with joystick unplugged until the program asked to plug it in.
I’ve set the dead zone for the mini mouse axis x and y, but no joy…
Same results, only when the stick is moved completely to the right the display flash and for few seconds the stick doesn’t respond anymore.
I don’t know what else to try :dhorse::rtfm: -
Finally I solved my issue with the stick and throttle flickering when moving stick complitely to the right!!! :headb:
A good cleaning of the magnets inside the stick was the good medicine, 10 minutes of work after months of headache!!! -
Hi,
I had similar issues with my X52 and solved almost all of them with “advanced commands” inside SST and remapping some commands on the keyboard.key, avoiding shift or ctrl or alt keys.
I still have some lock on few commands while I have lags into my internet connection (when in multiplayer, in solo it works correctly) but I think it is not SST or Win10 related.
I would like to make a cleaning of the hardware, mainly the stick, but I am scared to act like a surgeon and open the stick.
Is there a youtube video or something like that to do it properly?
Thanks in advance

Well, probably you can find some video on Youtube that shows how to dismount the X-52, but the operation I did is very easy and just focused on the base support. You have to remove 4 screws and the find the magnets and clean them with a small brush, or a piece of cotton.

Thanks for your suggestion
Kind regards -
Works fine for me
