Saitek X55 throttle random malfunction

Featured Replies

Hello,
It is hard to set a title in few words to my post for a very complex situation. I'll try to be exhaustive ;).

My computer is multi-boot with one boot leading to W10 and P3D simulator and the other boot to W10 and MSFS.

When I boot on MSFS installe on a dedicated SSD, my Saitek controller throttle behaves incorrectly:
- When I move very slightly both throttle levers forward, the engine rpm jump to 50% instantaneously and then works well for the remaining 50%.
- If I use the Control setting "Sensitivity" from MSFS, I note that this behaviour is also the same when the cursor jumps at mid-course as soon as the lever is moved forward and the second half is correct.
- If I use the Windows integrated Games controller setting app, I have the same issue.
So I have concluded to an hardware problem.

In my second step of investigations, I rebooted to my other Simulator (P3D) installed on another HDD. Because all controllers are using the same connectivity, I was expecting the same behaviour. But, surprisingly, all works perfectly in P3D and both calibration tools (Windows and P3D).

As an amplifying information, all my controllers in P3D are managed by FSUIPC and none in P3D.

I would be grateful if someone could find an explanation to this situation.

Regards

Bruno

Hi all,

I have resolved my issue by repairing MSFS and did again all calibrations, including the Windows' one.

Cheers
