Blue Voids I just noticed that I have the same problem. Nothing to contribute, unfortunately, in terms of a root cause, or a workaround. I guess I'll open another incident record and see how that goes. P

A HUGE Merci! @JEFX: Man did you save me from a lot of fruitless labour. I had just started opening each command in the Change dialog box and copying/pasting the command into Word. I even clicked the HTML command button to see "what if..." but didn't dig any deeper. Hope I can return the favour some day. P

Thanks for the help, guys! I'm counting in this game to have a slightly more shallow learning curve than the A-10C! Happy flying! P

I have none of the earlier versions, and am pretty unclear as to which to purchase. Is there someone out there who can give me some direction on which version/s to buy to permit FC3 to be installed? At this point, my guess is Lock On Platinum, but the more I read, the more I just go in circles (just like I fly, actually!!). Thanks in advance! P

I have the same problem as well. Driving me crazy! I'm no techie, so I'm sure one day I'll find out it was some minor issue that any 12-year-old could have solved!

"since many hours...." You and I are in the same boat, my friend! A boat without a rudder, or sails, apparently. I have spent days trying to get my sticks (a Logitech and a Saitek) to work with this (and other) sim's but am having very little luck. Well, no luck, really. I have even gone to the extent of re-downloading the relevant files, doing a complete recovery of my system, and a VERY careful reinstall (all day today) and IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. So I will follow this thread with interest and with the hope that (with all the obviously very bright people who populate this corner of the sim world) someone may be able to help us. Don't lose faith - that's the beginning of the end!

Well, this took an interesting turn! My thanks again to those members who took the time to reply. Seems I have more reading to do.... P

Hi, all. (Hope this is posted in the right place.) I am brand new to this activity, and am having trouble choosing a joystick. I had done a lot of reading prior to purchasing and the Saitek X52 Pro seemd to be a good choice (not a clear winner, of which there didn't seem to be one - correct me if I'm wrong there). I have had it for two weeks and so far have spent more time restoring a corrupted (twice) PC than learning to fly. I also find the stick to be very soft to use, and can't seem to find any way to stiffen it up. So I think it will be going back. Can I ask what others are using? If you use the X52 Pro, do you use the programming software, and if so how has that been? What do you think of the quality of the components? Are the profiles working for you? Is the MFD working? If you use something else, please tell me what it is!! I get a reasonable result form my old Logitech Attack 3 at a fraction of the price. CH Products seems to be another strong contender, but I've seen just enough negative opinions there to make me think twice. Any input is very much appreciated. My thanks in advance. Happy flying! PN

I'm new to flight sim'ing and to this site, and just stumbled acress this thread (it's third anniversary a couple of weeks ago). Seems like a temendous idea and entirely in keeping with both the philiosphy and the quality of this site and the app's. I look forward to reading the thread fully and my hope is that this program either has, or will, become a reality.

Nice work! Excellent work on the profile and related diagram. Very good of you to share so freely. I am a big believer in tight documentation, so my hope is to be able to give back to the group when (if??) I ever get my head around this app (and overcome my persistant problems with Saitek apps and drivers!). Pierce

Fantastic As someone who creates a lot of documentation, I can really appreciate the time and effort expended to do this. I also could not be more in agreement with you regarding your "share the wealth" philosophy. As a complete "noob", I can't thank you enough. Hopefully the day will come when I know enough to be a net provider to the community. All the best!
