Can anyone direct me to a resource explaining how to make it so a helo lands at a waypoint and simulates the disembarkation ie. air assault with troops.

Ok- I got tired of messing with it so I went out and did my share for the Global Economy and bought an X52!!! Hopefully it won't be nearly the hassle!!!! Will let you know soon.

Damn I was hoping that was it! I deleted anything that was in their that was not attached to my PC. So I left the KB, Mouse and the Saitek X45 and I went back in and I got the same results~

I thought it was my KB and mouse are USB Laser Lychosa brands high end gamer mouse and KB. I am disabling it now. Will report.

I sent you a private message- let me know if you received it without problems. For others keeping up with this thread I made a video of the issue: you can get it here: http://files.me.com/tophat/5vc9mf All help would be appreciated!

I will put up some screenshots, step by step tonight. Yes I have a brand new version with nothing in it. maybe I can do a Fraps movie to show you what is happening? I just don't know where I can upload a fraps file.

no. I have not even programed the SST. I downloaded it fresh also. I have tried running the SST and leaving it off- I even uninstalled the SST and tried.

Yes, once I realized that auto detect was not working I decided to choose from the drop down. unfortunately as I said above the only drop down that will work is Joy_Slider1 not Z axis as so many others have said should be for the X45 throttle. Even then the collective is barely moving as I explained above. :cry:

yes it lets me assign rotary- I am looking at range of motion in windows now and in the down position it shows all white and a bar that says throttle and in the full forward position I see the red bar move up to the top making it all red. I have recalibrated the joystick and tried again and still nothing. What is also odd is if I accept the defaults it chooses JOY_SLIDER1 which does capture some motion but if you look at the Axis Tune Panel the little black dot only comes down about 1/3 of the way down the red line instead of all the way to the bottom left hand corner. I have tested the Throttle with IL2 and WWIIOnline and it is working fine. I have the latest X45 Saitek Drivers and am using Vista 32bit SP1. Hope this helps!

I copied the assignments exactly and it still does not recognize any movements in the Z Axis. see thread:http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=39414

Yes I am certain- If I could do a screenshot I would post. While in the Ka-50 Real screen I click on "Axis Commands" which is what shows up and I find the column with Saitek X45, then I double click on "Flight Control Collective" then the "Add Assignment Panel" comes up. At this point i can move my throttle back and forth all I want but the game will not register any movement, BUT if I turn the rotation knobs on it - then it registers them as Joy_Slider2. Unfortunately I don't want to set a knob as my collective. For good measure I am going to go out and try to do the same but in the Ka-50 Game screen. Nope that acts the same as above.

I am not able to map my throttle movements in neither Arcade or areal modes. It does not sense the movements at all- is this similar to what is happening to you?

I am having similar problems with my Saitek X45- upon investigation, i notice that in the Axis Tune tab I am NOT getting full movement on the range of motion of the Throttle. This is in line with me barely getting any power for take off when I pull up on the collective. I also do not have anything mapped to "throttle" it is all mapped in collective.

Ok I have dug through the forums and I have not seen my problem so I will ask. I have found where I set up my axis for the X45 Throttle to link to collective. I erased the defaults and when I click on Axis Tune and get in the axis tune screen I move my throttle forward and back but the game does not "see" it! I have gone into windows and configured and tested and there it does show movement. When I go to the Add Assignments Panel and move my throttle stick fore and aft it does not recognize any movements at all! I can alt tab out to look at the calibration tab in windows and it is picking up movement there just fine. If I manually choose slider1 it works but bugged~ the only way I can get it to work is to link it to Slider1 but then I only get limited range of movement. the dots do not travel fully across the fields. Any help would be appreciated!!! Oh also it recognizes all other inputs from the X45 Throttle ie. rudder and sliders just not the forward and back movements of the actual throttle. from another post- I am having similar problems with my Saitek X45- upon investigation, i notice that in the Axis Tune tab I am NOT getting full movement on the range of motion of the Throttle. This is in line with me barely getting any power for take off when I pull up on the collective. I also do not have anything mapped to "throttle" it is all mapped in collective. I also changed joystick to my Saitek Cyborg gold and that one did register movements with its' slider but I would really like to use the throttle stick in game.

I think the most recent ones- I just D/L them from saitek website yesterday.
