Light wear, what can help setting and it in Canada. I have a Saitek AV8R-01 and want to use it to control my A-10C. Using the av8r-01 buttons on the joystick.
I haven't been able to figure out how to program the mode switch, but everything else is easily programmable through the MS Flt Sim program. Is there something I need to do to get the game to recognize my Saitek joystick, This joystick works fine in other fiight sims IL2 Clifs of Dover on Steam.
Manufactures drivers instead of Mad Catz, I had a stick. If there is no your joystick model, then you have to adjust controls settings manually. Check in the general tab of your system window to find out which version. Saitek provides a CD for those who want to program it better, and someone a va8r-01 more techie than me could program it any way he wanted.
It was originally introduced to Mac users in Mac OS 9. I wasnt expecting much since it was only 50 bucks and it was my first joystick of my adult life, not when I was a kid. Never liked, vacation rentals and calibration utility but bery short. Game controller setting and calibration utility Since moving from Window 7 to Windows 10 I can no longer test or calibrate my Saitek X-56 HOTAS. Has light wear, the buttons and switches are in good shape. None of these choices activate my Saitek joystick. Saitek av8r-01 they are so light, the tightness of the spring action forces you use one hand to keep saitk stick under control while using it. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast.
I bought this to use with my xbox 360 for games like Birds of Steel, etc. No other tricks.Im trying to use my laptop, etc. I use the X52 machine to test Community items, or items I find in the Forums, also to check in staff that works in one and not on the other one, both computers are the same hardware and power, and that is all about it. I have a different machine with all the peripherals (Saitek panels, Alpha, Bravo units, MFG pedals, etc.) but I have never used the X52 in it. The connections between the Joystick and the throttle sometimes fails, it is the nature of the connection, not strong, push on the terminals inward to get a full connection. My MFD always illuminates, as soon I connect the USB from the Hub to the computer. It was from here that I created profiles for MSFS and X-Plane, so I have to remember when to use one or the other, but you see the icon in the Task Bar of all the software loaded, you will see the small icon for the Joystick that allows you to choose profile.
You have to install the Programming Software as well which loads when booting your PC. I did not use any buttons or wheels in the MFD, and if they where assigned by default to anything I removed it. Like I said I installed the driver, once recognized by MSFS, I assigned the proper buttons and axis, save it. Also the quality of my X52 is somewhat better than what Logitech has been selling for what I read on the subject, finally I don’t believe in magic. The Programing Software came with my original X52 that I purchased from Saitek a few years back, the one in the Logitech site is the same one. I don’t have any Saitek Panels of any kind connected to this machine. I also use the Programing Software for the X52 and I have 2 profiles, one for MSFS, and another for X-Plane, this software loads at booting time and I get an icon in the starting tab from where I can choose the profile I need. I may add that it works the same way in X-Plane 11. It also flashes the name of any button you use in a separate line. I made sure I did not assign any of the buttons or rotating wheels in the MFD to any commands, my MFD illuminates when computer is on and shows local or UTC time, it also works like a stopwatch, and shows the Com 1,2, Nav 1,2 frequencies when I fly. I installed the X52 with the driver from Logitech. In one of my computers I have the X52 Pro connected to a USB Hub, a switch box I made also connected to the Hub.
