Older X52 HOTAS suddenly not Calibrating X and Y axis

Featured Replies

Good afternoon Gents,

My X52 HOTAS was working PERFECTLY last week. I wanted to try Ezydoc camera 2, Bought and installed it. Uninstalled it the very next day and that's when my problems started. I have spent no less than 30 hours Googling and attempting fixes. Installed new drivers. NOTHING will fix the X and Y axis. I uninstalled the Saitek registry entry's, uninstalled the Saitek software and completely removed any trace of Saitek X52 entries from my system. I used an old installation disc, and reinstalled the software. Well, anyway, the Flight control system was working perfectly with old the drivers, and mid flight, I got the dreaded blinking lights. It stopped working.

Up to my wits end making this work again. Mt system is as follows...

FSX with Acceleration

WIN7

i5-4670 [email protected]

64 bit

geForce GTX600

 

Any help or suggestions will be MORE than appreciated!!

Hi Dennis,

Using an old Saitek X45 here with MSFS and P3D. After some time, calibration was lost (large X axis offset) and in control panel there was no calibration feature. So decided to uninstall it completely, manually deleting the 10 driver files (all file names start with "sai...") shown in the device manager. After a reboot, I connected my X45, and Windows installed it using a Microsoft driver. And brought back the calibration feature in control panel. Big surprise: Even my previous control settings in MSFS were still there.

Minor caveat: Only 1 of the several hat switches is recognized correctly, all others are shown as 4 buttons each. But that's no issue for me.

Conclusion: Get rid of old Saitek drivers and let Windows do its job!
