CubusAddendum

9 times out of 10, the drivers supplied on media with a peripheral are out of date. :music_whistling:

Ah nice one. As you can imagine, I can't register on their forum yet so was waiting for a good day to do what they recommend and phone up the UK distro... :megalol: Since my current workaround is effective, I'm going to stay away from those beta drivers for the time being.

Thanks, that's what we need to hear.

Unless l missing something, the latest drivers for Win7 x64 don't have axis calibration, nor does the X-65F need it if the consensus here is correct: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=64259

Hi guys, just thought I'd share this. If you've ever read anything negative about the Saitek X-65F, it'll be probably be about a few users who gotten drift in their sticks axes and "had to return them". :( Yesterday I started to get this problem with mine drifting hard left and forward (almost full deflection). I Googled the issue to find people lamenting the lack of calibration tools in the configuration software etc. It seemed odd to me that such a sophisticated peripheral could become unusable (especially so quickly), so in a brief moment of inspiration I disconnected the joystick from the throttle hub while keeping the throttle attached to a usb port. (If you do this the device does not appear to be disconnected to the OS, so you can safely do this in-game). I reconnected the joystick again and allowed it time to rebind to the throttle hub. The drift was gone: according to the config tool all axes were dead center. Experimentally I put the joystick on a radiator for a short while, and sure enough some drift came back. I rebound the joystick and recalibration occurred. Since then I've kept the room temperature as constant as I can, and have taken care not to touch the joystick while it is binding. No drift has occurred since. ################################################ So what I can glean from this is that: (a) axis calibration occurs upon binding/rebinding the joystick to the throttle hub. (b) the force sensors are sensitive to temperature changes. ################################################
