Guys, Have any of you modified your controller settings? I have Saitek Proflight yoke and additional throttle quadrant. I applaud PMDG on this amazing aircraft but have always been curious how any aircrafts flight model can be deemed accurate when there's so many different controllers and settings within each. I have zero deadzones and sensitivities are set on full but last night the 738 was banking like an F16 which doesnt seem right :( Any advice guys? Chris Ibbotson

Dear Pilots.This morning I had alittle issue where my Saitek X52 hardware was playing up. It appeared that the trottle in the VC cockpit was shaking about and also the panning seemed less smooth and jerky.To resolve this here is what i did ..Go to this path....Local C:/ Users / Yourname. so for me it is steven inwood / appdata / roaming / mircosoft / FSX / controls. In the controls folder you will find a stantard XML document. This is the file for your hardware controls... Remove that from the file. ( DELETE).Then close this down restart FSX, and after you have restarted the application, go to the settings area where you can calibrate your hardware again, save it and then this solves it..Hope this is of some help it may help for other issues in the future..If you just re try and calibrate without doing any of the above before hand thinking it will just clibrate over the top of that old file before you dlelte it .. It don't work !Regards Steve

I'm spending a small fortune trying to do the NGX justice. I just upgraded my joystick to a CH Eclipse Yoke (Happy Birthday to ME), and I can't believe I actually used the joystick for so long. The eclipse has a gazillion possible button combinations (240 is the real number), and I've been scrambling my brain for the last few days trying to map (get it?) a strategy for assigning the buttons to the proper operations. I've investigated the options in FSX (direct, but too restrictive), FSUIPC (Good Lord, what a monster), and the CH Manager (might be a good compromise). I would like a few opinions about this process', strategies, pitfalls, etc. Is it a good idea to combine the programs? I know the first thing you should be concerned about is double mapping a single button. I've read (heavily skimmed) the FSUIPC document, and been to the CH forums. FSX is pretty much self explanatory. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I think this is important. As always, TIA. D
