Hi

I have a Saitek pro flight wheel and throttle box set up and a Logitech very basic joystick. Recently when using the stick my aircraft would steer very well on the ground and when I got it of the deck it would roll right and and would refuse to trim out.

I thought it might be the stick as it was quite old and I was to tight to buy a new one.

Now the Saitek wheel is doing the same thing. I had a look in the cailibrate bit and sure enough is was biased to one side. I did a calibration on it and it came good.

Next time I fired up FSX it did the same thing again and does it every time I restart the sim.

 

Any help would be most appreciated and will probably stop me hurling the thing out the window.

 

One more problem, is there a replacement for those horrid pots Saitek uses in the throttle box (the little yellow ones) They are becoming a pain in the bum and are the main

reason why I'm close to chucking the whole lot out the aforementioned window!

sadly all saitek yokes have this issue and the only fix is to unplug it and plug it back in before you run the sim as that will help.

 

also it might be worth following this advice on the saitek forum

This is a hardware issue more than software as it happens even with no saitek drivers, as for the pots you would need to buy some from your local electronic store or buy some pot cleaner like Servisol Super 10 ( i keep a can in my draw as you never know when its going to play up again )

 

I have the same yoke and what a waste of money it was, my only regret purchase with regards to siming

 

Now Madcatz owns saitek i expect they have no interest in fixing the hardware issues the yoke has.

Thank you

Hi again

I followed the instructions on the saitek forum and got rid of the files it said to. That fixed the cetering problem (Huzzah!) but now the damn throttle, prop and mixture levers wont work at all.

Any suggestions? other than wrapping the useless piece of bat do around a tree!

Try manually assigning the TPM in the control axis part of the controller window in FSX. Make shure you have the saitek yoke listed in the top part of the window.
