i got pm’d and I just wanted to say, I am reworking a profile to have a vtol stol and a landing and nav mode and a combat mode, this guy above up the page seems to have a solid profile tho, I took a look at it and he/she’s ramp switches are pretty cool and it pretty much covers everything, I might just tweak it to include the vtol stol stuff, as it has tons of switches left to assign.
I might switch to this profile actually. I had a profile for the different aircraft but it seemed redundant so I went back to basic DX, but now this piqued my interest like I said since someone pm/d me

Can someone help me?
Buy the X-56 and I’m in trouble. I have all the buttons configured but when I am playing some porpoises they work alone, what can this be?I can confirm a powered usb hub will fix this Ghosting Issue, it fixed mine hasn’t ghosted since.

x-56 is logitech BTW.

-
I thought it was Saitek
It was… but now Logitech has the rights & drivers and technical support.

saitek drivers don’t work good on some systems, rudder and ghosting, I would recommend you install the logitech suite for the x-56, after uninstalling the old stuff from saitek. just backup your profiles somewhere else until you’re all done.
I know it sounds like a pain, but after I had some trouble with the saitek shit, I talked to logi, they walked me through it and sent me their x-56 with a logitech box and base logitech branding on the actual stick, I haven’t used that one, but I did reinstall all the hardware and software.
It’s worth the run and around.
also the ghosting isn’t USB power, it’s just macro and memory, just reboot your system if it’s really bad you should only see it after some system time, of course ignore this it could be melted or bad wiring giving you false input, but it’s unlikely.
I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WHO BOUGHT SAITEK CALL LOGITECH AND JUST USE GOOD FAITH, they sent me a brand new stick twice and let me keep the screwy one, it ended up being software so now I’ve got 3.

Wrong on the USB power! I was not using the SST software so could not be Macro or memory. USB power is a known issue if you are not getting enough power through the ports you will get random button presses as I was. USB powered hub solved the issue and it has never occurred since!
Maybe it wasn’t USB power in your case and therefore there are two situations that can cause the ghosting?
I get annoyed when people make a statement that’s not entirely true! Enough said.
-
+1…also resolved my issue with a powered USB hub.
-
my X-56 works like a charm… just took some youtube vids to figure out.
-
I just got mine and it didn’t work with BMS until I shut down the HUD software; that fixed all my problems. It has the ESD issue to I will get a replacement but that’s another matter. 3rd HOTAS in 4 years… not build to last though…
-
I’ve since returned all my saitek sticks and had them replaced, in fact I had two the first one they asked me to send them for inspection @logi, which I did- the second time, which is actually the third iteration of this whole situation they basically just told me “we don’t even care they are all defective keep it for spare parts”
ESD and EM bleeds are all protected under the CPA, because any electronic consumer device “MUST BE ABLE TO RECEIVE AND FUNCTION UNDER INTERFERENCE” they may try and posture, but if you’ve got an x-56 that says saitek and a proof of purchase, just tell em to cough it up. a defective product has no limit under warranty, and must either be replaced, repaired, or refunded, in the USA. all you need is the proof of purchase.
Also, up the page, how’s your USB hub fix going? because that aint the problem. I get annoyed when people have to chime in because they think they know what is best for other’s based on only cursory anecdotal experiences. The HOTAS market is shit because it’s consumers are pushovers. the USB hub may simply absorb the bleed in the signal chain, which is really not a fix and will not provide relief for all ports or system architecture. thats a patch on a leaky tar roof. build a new roof.

Thanks for asking my USB hub has still solved the issue so thanks for CHIMING in thinking you know the ANSWER!
Just an observation, you’re not a real people person are you?

A powered USB is a must with the 56. Known issue of ghosting without one.
