Anyone assist with a Saitek X 52 throttle, joy & pedels combo config?

Post by Diagnostic »

Hi, I could use some hekp assigning the correct axis' for my joystick, throttle, and rudders.
At the present time, my rudders are non responsive, and my throttle is controlling my banking.
Im pretty messed up over here, and could use some help. Ive read some of the other entrys, but not of much help.
I cant "get into" this game until my configs are in good shape.

Thanks!

Hi. I will be gald to help you in any way I can.
Due to the complexity of programming the Saitek, I suggest you install "ICQ" and contact me via that.
ICQ is a free real-time chat program that doesn't use a lot of rescources and many/most of the players use for chat and for listing game times, etc.
I have been programming the Saitek "X" series controllers for over 15 yrs and I probably can help.
My ICQ # is listed in my bio when you're ready, I'll be gald to help.
Have fun....

For a quick answer until you talk to MM, use the 'Click here to configure joystick axis controls' option to remap your control axis functions as desired (Main Menu > Options > Configure Controls > Click here to configure joystick axis controls).

To use rudder pedals as a secondary device, use the configuration option explained in the instructions under the 'Technical Notes' section or a utility to combine multiple devices into one slot (PPJoy for example, iirc).

I'm using x52 with pedals and gaming keyboard with command pad on WinXp. I find that it's easy to just use the built in configure area to Renegades then to use the Saitek profile software. Haven't had any issues so far, except with my own ability to remember so many buttons.
