saitek pro flight yoke problems

Featured Replies

for some reason, whenever I fly the pmdg 737, using the saitek pro flight yoke, when my yoke is level, the virtual yoke is tilting to the left, this happens with a most aircraft but the 737 is most noticeable, would anyone know how to fix this? It is very frustrating when I try to land, because I always veer off course.

 

thanks in advance.

doesnt matter I got it fixed

I get this at random times but the yoke tilts slightly to the right.  It happens in maybe 1 out of 7 flights I load.

It's not a PMDG issue.  I'm sure it's a glitch in the Saitek because it can happen on any of my aircraft.

To fix it, I simply unplug the Yoke's USB connector and plug it back in.

Like Ric says, or you could try to create a dead zone within your controller's menu in the sim.

Do you use or have you tried FSUIPC4 to handle your controllers?

 

It has happened with and without FSUIPC.  My FSUIPC is not registered so I can't use it to handle my controllers.

Never had this problem before. And I use my FSX to handle my controllers, hmm  :Thinking:

What do you mean when you say you use FSX to handle your controllers?  Do you mean FSUIPC? 

I'm just guessing it's a glitch with some of the Saitek stuff.  Not a big deal at all because I just unplug it and plug it back in to reset the controller.

It means I assign the yoke axis and throttles axis through the fsx control settings. I've never encountered any bug with saitek though, maybe I'm just lucky? Also with the amount of times I've opened up my pro flight yoke, to remove springs and change this and that I'm surprised it still works like a charm.

And for those who may have the same problem, how did you fix it?

Sorry for replying a bit late, I didn't realise my thread was continued: all I had to do was recalibrate the yoke.

thanks for all your help
