I sorted mine by installing Win 7 and getting an X-52. Drastic, but it worked. :)

Yes definately the \ key. The AWACs reports automatically, but i can't interact with it.

Hi I can't contact AWAC's. Press the \key and nothing. What am i doing wrong? Thanx

Thank you digital. I had the same problem and youn sorted it!! :)

Hi Guys. Well i'm so close to chucking this X52 out the window. I never had any problems with Lomac/FC1 with my old X45 and the old software Saitek provided. I used to make profiles myself back then and i think i did a damn good job. I've attached a word document showing my old X45 profile. If you just look at mode 1 and nothing else. If you look at Mouse hat you'll see the 4 directions for the targeting reticule. And it worked great for the Maverick and also for locking air targets when flying in the fighters. But i am getting nothing now. When i check the controller using the calibration software everything works great. But in the game the targeting reticule doesn't move using the mouse hat. I also see nothing on the MFD to show a reaction to moving the mouse. I'm also getting losing control during the game and the only way to quit the mission is to tab alt delete. After i quit i can't even type on the internet. Nothing happens and i get a beep sound. Once i unplus the X52 it's fine. So i've 3 main issues. 1) The reticule not moving. 2) Losing any control during mission and not being able to quit or escape. 3) Once i get back to desktop i can't type unless i unplug the X52. As long as i solve the first issue then i'll be happy. I'm sure some mixture of key strokes are causing issues 2 and 3. I've also scanned 2 profiles i've made just using mode1. 1 has the mouse hat set as a direction axis and 1 has it as bands. I'm not getting anything using either. So please could someone look at them and tell me whats wrong? I'll also happily email the profiles to anyone to test. Any help greatly appreciated!!!! :thumbup: X45 CONTROL.doc

Copied yours exactly and still the same. Stumped

Hi Guys. I downloaded the latest software and this allowed me to add direction controls to the Axis's. This is what i ended up wiyh. But i get no reticule movement and the MFD on the X52 doesn't register the movement/commands. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Hi I am trying to set my mouse on my throttle to control the targeting reticule for locking targets. I used to have this on my old X45 and it worked with the software then, but i can't seem to make it work on the X52 with the new software. On an new profile the mouse just seems to say ministick axis sensitivity. I have added 2 bands to the X and Y axis each and hoped that would give me a smooth movement in all for directions. Sadly doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions or instructions on how to do it? Screenshot below of what i've done so far. Thanx

Thanx for replys guys

Hi I am making custom missions and trying to test them out. I;m trying to accelerate the time using the keys listed in the controls as Z+Lctrl and nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong? Thanx

Ah ok. Thanx

Hi I have just got the CD version of FC2 and would like to watch the training videos. However it says it is for download version only. Is there a way i can install using the cd version? Thanx

Thanx for quick reply. I think the screenshot is what your asking for. I don't know how to do the track, but if you advise me i'll do it. I'm pretty sure it's my x45 as sometimes it seems to want to cooperate and other times it doesn't. Thanx

Hi I am using a Saitek X45. When i test it outside of FC2 all the controls and axis work. But if i start a mission in FC2 i lose height and crash. I seem to have no control of the plane apart from perhaps thrust. I've enclosed a screenshot of the in game options screen. This is my Y-Axis. My joystick is centred but the little dot goes all the way to the right. Somethings not right? Any ideas? Thanx

Hi Just installed Windows XP and am using SP3. The only game I have installed is Lomac and I am patched up to 1.02. For some reason sometimes I am quitting a mission or even quitting Lomac completely my PC reboots. I am an old Lomac player from 2003 and never had a problem then. I can only assume it’s a problem with my current system or registry, although every other game I have played I have no problem with. My current system is AMD Athlonx62 4400+ Geforce 9800GT 512MB ASUS M2N-E-SLI Motherboard (Using onboaRd sound so no soundcard) 4GB DDR2 Ram I am using my old Saitek X45 though too and it’s been causing me problems like working sometimes and not others. I am wondering if perhaps that is causing the reboots? Maybe some sort of signal error. Any help or advice appreciated. Thanx
