Saitek Yoke Random Button Presses Fixed

Featured Replies

Posted this in the review thread as well, but for all of you having the problem, try what I did:Just wanted to post up here, having used my setup for a few months now. I'm going out on a limb by saying this, but at least for me I HAVE CURED ALL RANDOM BUTTON PRESSES!!!I used to get them ALL the time, no matter what the sim would suddenly switch view, or drop the gear or whatever. I don't know if this'll work for you, but it cured mine 100%. (Not one random press for 2 weeks now since the fix.)Here's how I did it:First, install the drivers on the CD that came with it all. I didn't use the built in config utility it comes with. I uninstalled it but left the drivers alone. Calibrate it in windows game controllers applett. (I'm using Vista 64 and FSX.) Now, open FS and delete ALL button assignments from within FS. I left the POV hat, and let FS assign the axis' for aileron, rudder, and elevator. Throttles n stuff leave that alone. I guess I should mention I'm using the Saitek yoke, plus an additional quadrant, a Saitek cheapo usb joystick for a nose wheel tiller, and CH pro pedals. When deleting button assignments, be sure to select each device individually, and delete all the button assignments. Click OK, and exit FS. Unplug all of your controllers. Re-connect them, then restart FS. Check again that no buttons are assigned, only axis'. Do all of your button programming from within FSUIPC 4. I mean ALL of them. I make each button either do a FS command directly, or to do a binded keyboard shortcut. I even got the thrust reverser range to work perfectly.I did all of that, and my problems ahave since been cured. Like I said, MY problems have been cured. This may or may not work for you, but it's worth a try. I discovered that FS had some crazy default button assignments (like one of my thrust reversers was linked to "langing gear" by default) so don't let FS assign anything for you. FSUIPC is a god send. I'll post this up elsewhere too to assist others. I'm not a member, but if someone wants to copy and paste this onto the Saitek forums, you're more than welcome to.
