Saitek X-52 Pro throttle & stick, Saitek rudder pedals

There does seem to be a common theme of Saitek here. I run no Saitek HW so can't test, and yes a sample of 3 isn't enough.

Don't believe HW has to do anything with it. I am using CH pedals, throttle quadrant and yoke. Up to now I had only one CTD during taxi

I wonder if it's Saitek drivers causing it? Or Saitek something.

Agreed, however, the 737, 747, & 777 are fine with my hardware.  No CTD's and can fly al day in them.

True but it's maybe a DC6 specific thing, like we've seen with FSUIPC and the throttles.

I have Saitek rudders, Saitek quadrants (two), and Saitek yoke. I've never been able to reproduce a single CTD. I'll note, however, that I do not use the Saitek web drivers. I just employ the native functionality built into Win10.

I don't use FSUIPC, not even on my PC.

I use the drivers and SST and P3D's ket assignments.  But I can fly the other PMDG planes, MilViz's planes, and Carenado's all day long and never have a problem.  It only happens with the DC-6.  I had to ground it for maintenance till this is worked out, it got too frustrating to have CTD's all the time and most of the time not even an Event Viewer log.

I use the Saitek rudder pedals and the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle and Joystick. I also do not use any Saitek drivers.

Sorry for the late reply. My hardware is all CH, pro pedals, fighterstick, and pro throttle. I am indeed running them through fsuipc.  I do also have a fsdt airport installed.   I ran live update last night after a crash but I can try disabling it. Is that done through dll.xml or elsewhere?

Don't think Saitek stuff are related. If that was the case it should happen more frequently. The way my crashes appear point to completely different directions. I can seemingly prevent them from happening by disabling GSX. It occurs to me that either GSX itself or perhaps in some ways Couatl is involved although I am not sure if all of us suffering these crashes have GSX (or anything Couatl related) installed.

I am not sure if it helps Chris but since I disabled GSX and FSDreamTeams Live Update I did not have a single crash to desktop. It's too early to say I am completely CTD free and I will certainly continue testing but for sure I managed to depart from airports I always crashed. Therefore I am now pointing my fingers at FSDT's GSX and/or their Couatl engine. I will report back later.

I do not have GSX or that, to me at least, wretched Couatl.  Couatl through the years has caused more problems than I can count so I uninstalled every shred of it a long time ago.  I won't even buy their products till I KNOW they dumped that nonsense.

Have you any FSDT airports?

No sir, just FlyTampa's LOWW, KTPA, TNCM, & OMDB.  Everything else is all Orbx.

 

Jack Sawyer

No FSDT or GSX here either. Neither of them have been anywhere near my system, so there shouldn't even be any "leftovers" from those two.

No FSDT or GSX on my machine. I never had any of them installed.
