Simmers,

 

I've been having an issue with the Saitek (Pro Flight) Yoke that I've had for a few years now. Ever since I've moved to my new computer, the calibration isn't saving. I'm getting axis spikes for the throttles as to be expected with the age, but I feel like this may just be an FS error. I'm getting a right-roll tendency, so I calibrate the yoke. It works fine, but after a restart it's back to the tendency. Not too big of a deal - just means a brief calibration upon FS start, but it's strange. Is there any non-FSUIPC way of rectifying this?

 

Thanks,

 

Derek

Tried it again today - still not working.

I have exactly the same issue and have had it for years. If anybody knows how to fix it, there are at least two of us who would be grateful!

If you're getting a rolling effect, did you change the rudder trim?

If it is the same problem I have been having, it is a de-calibration of the roll axis. It works until you have to do a re-start, but after that the roll calibration is de-centered to the right.

www.saitek.com/uk/supp/x65fsx3.html and look under calibration fix. Josh

That link leads to a 404. I will look elsewhere on their site. but I have never been able to find anything there.

Just copy the link and paste into your search engine. Josh

This link works for me: http://www.saitek.com/uk/supp/yokefsx3.html

One other thing is to reboot before you plug back in the device.

My PFC yoke did this before, along with the brakes axis on my rudders, was fighting it for years. Always had to re-calibrate, very frustrating. One day I got a powered USB hub, decided on a whim to connect the controllers through the hub and bam everything worked flawlessly. Not sure why, but the hub made the difference.
