Hello all,

I am really hoping to get some guidance here with this problem.

I am unable to centre the yoke (roll) on my Saitek yoke in calibration mode.

The output readings for Pitch is 0.5000-0.5000.  In flight this is quite OK

for roll  outout is .0.1992-0.1996. In flight I roll dramatically to the left  and to achieve level flight I am using the yoke fully right hand down and data output is reading roughly 0.3445

rudder is 1.0000-1.0000. In flight all is ok.

I have read many topics on this one and all point to a hardware issue or a Windows10 software problem.  Normally I would accept this, BUT,

1. P3Dv4.5 yoke operation is normal ... calibration (in Sim) carried out post flight and all OK

2. FS2004  yoke operation is normal ... Same as P3D

3. Aeroflyfs2 yoke operation is normal, ... same as P3D, and

4. DCS operation is normal. ... same as P3D.

I have done a Windows 10 calibration and all seems normal.

I have disabled the yoke, disconnected the yoke, rebooted the computer, plugged in the yoke, downloaded the Saitek/logitech 64bit yoke driver and installed the driver, rebooted the computer again, checked Device Manager for any problems with the yoke, discovered nothing so I got back into Xplane 11 to find exactly the same problem. In all other sims the yoke is still working normally.  

I am aware that my data output figures are abnormal and should read 1.0000 - 1.0000 for all axis.

Any ideas on what I can do from here??

Regards

Tony

 

Hello Tony

In order to see what is coming from the yoke, could you do the following:

In Windows, Game Controller Calibration:    reset to default

Then use the DIView software to check what the raw values of the yoke are
http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=12

In DIView, go to the window that shows the axis of the aileron. Right click in the window, and activate the box "view raw value".
Report the minimum of the axis range, and the maximum (red number at the left of the scale, and at the right of the scale).
Report the raw value/ red number in the middle/bottom of the window, below the scale for the following positions: aileron max left, aileron max right and aileron neutral/center position.
Right click in the window, select calibration and report minimum, center and maximum.

This will show what data are coming from the yoke and then we can discuss further.
