2GB Sapphire HD 7850 OC Edition

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I now feel a bit stupid after all the fuss I've made over this. Your explaination of the flight models has helped my understanding greatly and so now I can start playing properly. Thanks again! :)

Yes it does seem that I have misunderstood and underestimated the flight model and it is a lot more advanced than what I have played in the past. I've mainly played F-22 ADF up until getting Lock on. I was just insulted at the way shamandgg decided to put his words across. I am happy to admit I have been wrong and that it is me at fault after testing his opinions out. I did also ask on the ubisoft forums & the ubisoft tech support request if it was normal behaviour but after not having either of my questions answered I drew my own conclusions. I am still getting some bouncing when returning the stick to centre after pitching up and down and I'll try changing the axis settings to see if this helps. I'll also pm one of the beta testers just be sure. Thanks for the advice :)

Why do you seem to be on a such a mission to belittle me? First you told me to contact Saitek when I had clearly said in the first paragraph that I had and also provided a reason (if you'd bothered to read it properly) to why I was told it is Lock On from the Saitek support people. And yes I do understand Angle of Attack and basic flight thankyouverymuch. For your information the bouncing at least still happens when flying at high speed such as 800kts and above. To be honest the most offensive thing about your post is your intent to publicly make a joke out of me, may I ask why your doing this as I did actually post here for help and to understand the problem if it was me that was wrong. I certainly did not post here to be ridiculed by you or anyone else for that matter!

Made a short video (wmv) of my input settings (link removed)

I've tried Lock On without a keyboard or mouse connected and it still happens. The joystick works fine also in the test panel within Lock On's input configuration before and after the error occurs. I guess the only thing left to do is to try it on another PC and see what happens.

As said in the first paragraph of my post I have already posted on the saitek forums and been told it is more likely a problem with Lock On and not the joystick as my X52 works fine in other games and in the windows control panel. I'll have another go at calibration and do another check for conflicts tonight if I get the chance. Anyway thanks for the response, at least now I know it is actually a problem. One thing I didn't mention is that this also happens on my old saitek cyborg evo and even more oddly it happens when just using the keyboard with all joysticks fully uninstalled and unplugged. I was hoping the system reinstall would fix it but as it only ever happens in lockon it must be something within the game.

Sorry for posting this again after raising an old thread previously but I've been back to Saitek who said it's probably a problem with Lock on and not my X52 as the joystick works properly in other games. I've also posted an official tech support question with Ubisoft but I've not had any response or any form of acknowledgement from them since posting 3 weeks ago. The two problems are best described in my post in the ubisoft lock on community help forum along with a track file: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99610606/m/3991089464 I'd just like to know if the problems I have, notably the second problem I describe is normal behaviour or not? I've also reinstalled my system since posting the above thread and this has not helped correct the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I had the same problem with my USB Saitek Cyborg Evo. I've now upgraded to an X52 but I'm still having the same problems. I've attached a track file to explain the problem. I seem to enter a flat spin once I start manoeuvring, once this begins I lose all control of the aircraft. You can see me trying to roll & pitch from the ailerons moving but I get no response. I only get control from the rudders. I also have the problem with the plane pitching up/down but then returning to centre as ddf332 explained in his initial post. I have tried reinstalling the saitek drivers but this had had no effect and unplugging all my other devices. I've also checked my keyboard/mouse bindings for the axis etc to make sure nothing conflicts along with trying a reset to defaults. Any help is appreciated, thanks :) controlerror-track.zip
