Hi All,

 

I have an intermittent bug with my T7 and my Saitek X52---sometimes (about 6 or7 out of 10) my Saitek X52 will freeze/quit when I start to push back from the gate/check spot view when I begin a flight. This is really depressing as sometimes I have spent as much as an hour with the pre-flight work up to the push time. What happens is that the X52 freezes and when I go to the controls page under options I find that the X52 has disappeared and there is only "mouse yoke" left to choose.---sometimes this does not happen--I have flow some flights without looking outside just because I do not want to lose the pre-flight work---anybody else experience this issue or have any ideas on fixing the problem--all Ideas are welcome.

 

 

 

I do not think that this is a memory issue like many other T7 problems---I still have the "no textures showing" issue when using the spot view about half the time at first boot--If the boot lets me see the outside textures then they usually remain for the entire flight even if the flight is over 16 hours long.---the combination of the X52 issues and the textures really makes flying this aircraft for my Virtual Airline problematic, since this must be done step by step and so much time is lost due to these errors---I know this or "these" problems are T7 related since none of them occur with any other aircraft--all other PMDG planes (I own them all many times over) work fine as do all the good Airbus variants and the Majestic DH8.

 

 

 

Again thanks for any help

 

Cheers

Do you have win 8? Also sign your posts with you full name per PMDG rules!

I have win 8--sorry about the no name---have been posting on AVSIM for over 15 years and never had that information--I corrected above

I've had the issue too but that's not a PMDG bug but a windows bug with FSX and only FSX as the hardware still be available in the control panel.

 

I've not found a direct free solution (checking power mode and all the stuff I had found).

 

But the only thing I've found and that works 100% (never had the trouble since) is to use the FSUIPC registered version, and to setup all axises inside it just directly forwarding them to FSX, and while FSX loses the joysticks it is not the case of FSUIPC ans so it keeps working then. that's a little tedious process but in the end it works well.

 

I don't know if windows 8.1 fixes it or not.
