New user of Saitek X52 pro problem -Help required please

Hi

I have posted this message on the Saitek forum but it is fairly quiet on that forum and I am unable

to contact Saitek Technical Support by mobile telephone in UK from Australia as it is the weekend our/their time.

I was hoping to fully immerse myself in some flying this weekend now that I have finally finished a special project.

This is the message I posted on Saitek forum with attachment.

"Hi

Have bought X52 Pro approx 1 month ago after untold problems with Logitech G940.

Installed X52 Pro and I believed everything was working OK. Latest drivers installed on Win7 2600K 8gig Nvidia 570.

I programmed the buttons on X52 via FSX Settings/Controls. Have not used Saitek profiler as my technical ability was destroyed by attempting to use Logitech profiler.

I have attached a file which shows my button allocation on the X52.

I am sure that this problem did not exist when I first allocated the functions described in jpg attached. I had allocated Autopilot master on/off (Z) to button 2.

I have removed that allocation why I attempt to find what the problem is I am experiencing. As can be seen Elevator Trim Up/Down have been allocated to buttons 3 and 4.

This is the problem I am experiencing:

If button 2 is allocated to Autopilot in the default plane (I have been using the Cessna C172SP Skyhawk as my default instead of Trike for approx 12 months) I can turn Autopilot on and off with no problem. Elevator trim up/down work okay. Have tested autopilot on/off, Elevator trim up/down on the ground and in normal flight and no problem encountered.

However if I use my LDS767 and PMDG 737NGX; when either Trim up/down buttons are used they disconnect the autopilot. On the ground and in flight same happens..

Hence why I removed Button 2 allocation for the Autopilot.

But now without Button 2 in use, using Trim up/down (Button 3 and 4) now continually will disconnect Autopilot requiring me to reselect it and cancel alarm."

I would appreciate some advice/assistance please and my apology for such a long winded thread."

Regards

Noel Southam
