Hello guys!
Do any of you have the old X65F?
A friend of mine is selling his (used, but like new) and I´m testing it right now. I have an old Sidewinder FF2, which still provides an excellent flight controls precision (in my opinion… maybe that´s because I´m used to it:-)). BUT it´s an eight-button stick, no HOTAS concept at all!
So, I´m having trouble setting up the X65F buttons and knobs.
I installed the latest drivers and the Saitek Smart Technology (SST) software.
Some of the buttons aren´t recongnized by Falcon. That´s ok because I can “trick” the system by assigning keys with the SST.
But some isn´t right.
For example, I tried to set one of the throttle HAT switches to control the radar cursor movement. Easy task using the SST. Checked Falcon´s setup>controllers page, and it seemed to work fine (the HAT switch input corresponded to the correct command - radar cursor), BUT there is a problem when trying that in game: the cursor won´t stop. Each input I give into the buttons seems to correpond to a LOT of inputs into the game. It´s impossible to control the cursor.
Another example: I set the uncage button as “U” (in falcon setup), and then set ont of my throttle buttons as “U” (in SST). Once I short-press this button, the game won´t receive an “U” input, but an “U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U…” input
Well, that´s it. If you have any experience with this issue and others I may find on next steps, please share.
Thanks!!
