Trimmer disables joystick for a few seconds?

[Snacko]

I got a new Saitek x55 Rhino a few months ago and have been battling getting profiles to work in a few sims. But in BS I had the Saitek software sending the T key for the trimmer and it would work ok on and off. It would work fine but then if I was trimmed in a turn or something and let go of the stick, and then trimmed it in another direction sometimes the stick was just dead (not responsive in the game). If I wiggled it all over the place wildly and press the trimmer button several times it would become responsive again. This scenario happens repeatedly.

 

So, I assigned the button directly in the game to the Trimmer command and I get the same thing! It flies ok but then every once in a while it goes off unresponsive. :doh:

 

Has anybody else have a problem like this with the trimmer? :joystick:

You may be in center-position trim mode. You need to return your controls to their center points before you can make additional changes.

 

If you aren't in center-position mode, your controls are locked for one second to give you time to return them to the center.

Thanks! I have had lot's of problems with my x55 software/drivers the past few months that I get confused as to what to fix a problem. So, the other day I had turned on that Center Position Trimmer checkbox. Later I had downloaded some new x55 HUD software that said it fixed a 'repeat keystroke' bug, and it 'kind of' started work except for this problem.

 

But unchecking that Center Trimmer checkbox seems to have worked. Thanks.. Rep inbound M8!!
