Hi, I have looked in other threads but none of the fixes have worked. All my power management options are off. When I minimize fsx, (e.g. to activate a pro atc x flight) the joystick will not work. Sometimes it is recognized in fsx controls, but doesn't work. But normally, it isn't recognized in fsx controls, nor does it work. I am using Windows 8.1 and the Mad Catz V.1 stick. Any ideas? Thanks Harry Karmel -
I am puzzled...I unplugged my pro flight yoke from its current USB port, and replaced it with my headset (my headset had mysteriously stopped working, so I tried a new port). I eventually discovered the problem for the headset. I plugged the headset into another port. I re-plugged the yoke and got an ominous message...it indicated that the yoke had not been installed (I don't remember the exact words). I've tested it in other USB ports, but nothing works! In addition, I don't see it reflected in the Device Manager. The yoke's clock screen is totally blank, and the light on the quadrant is unlit. Interestingly, my Saitek rudder pedals work fine (it shows up in Device Manager as well). In addition, my Saitek Radio panel and Multi panel are working. I've consulted MadCatz, and they suggested the following: -Open the control panel and select the System and security -Select power options -Under your current preferred power plan, please select the "Change Plan Settings" option then click on the "Change Advanced Power Settings" -Click on the USB settings tab to access the USB selective suspend setting -If you have this option disabled then enable it. If the power setting is already enabled then disable it. -Hit apply then OK and close the power options page. -Open the control panel and select hardware and sound -Open device manager -Open universal serial bus controls -Right click on any USB root hubs or the generic USB hub and select properties> power management -Untick allow the computer to turn off this device to save power I am using Windows 7 pro 64 bit; HP ProDesk 400 G1 MT; 3.3GHz; 8192MB RAM; Direct X 11; Default System BIOS. I've tried everything, but nothing has worked! Any suggestions? -
There haven't been any updates for the Saitek X-65F (either the SST Profile editing software or the drivers) since the beta release of both components in May, 2011. They can be found here: ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/ The beta releases are versions 7.0.10.6 (dated 5/18/2011), which you can check using the Saitek Control Panel app. However, Mad Catz bought out Saitek's hardware lines (I think sometime during 2008) and there is a new version of the SST Profile editing software available at: http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php The SST version is 7.0.27.13 and is dated 4/30/2013. There are 7.0.27.13 driver files in the SST install package, but they are only for individual components (keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.) and are apparently not designed for a combo unit like the X-65F. If you are not using at least the beta driver set referenced above and you are having the infamous yoke centering issue, try updating your drivers to the beta version. The SST Profile Editor update is a bug fix, but there is no readme that explains what improvements were made. It is nice to see that Mad Catz is maintaining the X65-F hardware, though.
