Windows 10 and X52 Pro

[Ramstein]

we got over 300 signatures on petition for drivers in 3 days! We need 1,000, which looks like we can get them hopefully by the end of this coming week... could be sooner.. if this trend continues!

Guys, Saitek are working on Win10 drivers, they're just not as quick as other companies, but then these HOTAS systems are complicated beasts.

 

I've just managed to get my X52PRO working with the drivers below (64-bit) with the help of Saitek support.

 

Win 10 32-bit

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_32.exe

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_32_Software.exe

 

Windows 10 64-bit

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64_Software_.exe

 

REMEMBER, EVEN WHEN YOU INSTALL THE ABOVE VERSIONS, GO STRAIGHT TO DEVICE MANAGER AND CHECK "UPDATE DRIVER" TO SEE IF WIN 10 HAS ACTUALLY APPLIED THE ABOVE VERSIONS OR THE VERSIONS YOU UNINSTALLED. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE:

 

X52 (USB) AND (HID) SHOWS 6.2.2.9

ALL ENTRIES UNDER "PROGRAMMING SUPPORT" SHOWS 7.0.27.13

 

Happy flying.

Hello fellows,

 

this is a snap of ticket answer from Saitek:

 

"I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the software. Please be advised that our development team is working around the clock on the drivers and software for the newly released Windows 10 however they did not advise us of an official release date."

 

they indeed suggest to use old drivers that someone of you posted in #13.

 

At the moment I've solved the issue with those drivers but I'll keep cross my fingers for the final solution. :pilotfly:

do those drivers take care of the problem with multiple key presses? :joystick:

 

that seemed to be my only problem, the root enumerator, when you click a key it sends a bunch of key presses.

 

also, I need to have my stick working with IL-2, if it doesn't I am screwed. so before I try the work around, is it going to actually work properly or is it just for dcs,, or all flight sims...

No the old driver does not solve the problem! Windows still freezes when you unplug and you still have many key press. No difference from the newest drivers.

[dartuil]

Saitek drivers nightmare... Lovely. :(

[aap_flanker]

Have u tried executing dcs as administrator? Please confirm cause im updating to win10 also :)

 

Guys... I have win10 now running in my pc.

Everything still work perfect, saitek profiler, profiles, DCS, etc!

 

Just take this into account, when you want to unplug the joystick, first go to Settings, devices, right click on your joystick name and click to unplug or remove... once windows confirm that it is safe to remove it, just then unplug! You should not keep your PC frezzing after joystick unplugs

(sorry for the typing)

sorry, but the multiple key presses are still there until new drivers, so no, not everything is working...

 

please no more false hope, only thing that will work is new drivers.. period,,, bits of this and that working are worthless, at least for me... :joystick:

[Ramstein]

possible reason why Saitek is not giving Win10 drivers.. I heard a financial report saying Saitek and MadCatz is in deep doo-doo financially and relying on a product to save them.. I heard this a couple weeks ago in a financial report.. here is an article with some info:

The older drivers are stable. Who have issues with multiple key presses they didn't uninstall drivers properly and as i said before you must check driver version in device manager, this is the only place which tell you which driver you have installed. I have same multiple key press issue but once i uninstall drivers properly and installed older one in post #13, I have no issue. no multiple key press issue at all.

[DAZnBLAST]

The drivers in my links above are 100% stable with Windows 10

 

You must make sure to check Device Manager that

X52 (USB) shows 6.2.2.9 AND

X52 (HID) shows 6.2.2.9

 

PROGRAMMING SUPPORT all entries show 7.0.27.13

 

Another thing to check ... if you unplug and plugin your stick again, Windows will again apply the newer drivers and will start corrupting your MFD display and freezing your stick. To fix this, do the following:

 

In Device Manager > click view > click show hidden devices > it should show greyed out entries of the above e.g. X52 (USB) etc > right click all greyed out entries > uninstall > restart and all should be fixed > including the PC freezing.

that's not an acceptable fix, Saitek need to step it up and fix the issue. not everyone is computer tech savvy, and will just give up.

[Ermintrude]

At least it is a fix of some sort, though.

For me too... just 1 answer, can i keep using the new programming software? or I have to use the old one of the download link?

Does your x52 throttle buttons work with the software and when you use it in teams peak and other program does the keypress's work while on the game utilizing the SST program?

I havent tried with TS.... in game I played a fast mission and the "precision sliding" (wich was the one that i having problems) works ok. I have setted to bands 50/50 for the airbrake (SHIFT+B/CTRL+B). Before try this trick i was getting multiple presses and inaccurate...

but now works good.

 

I was asking for the programing software beacause with the old one I cant check the functions programed.

ok, resuming the whole fix:

- you must use old driver (6.2.2.4); and

- you can use old or new programing tool (6.2.2.4 or 7.0.27.13)

 

PS: My display only shows hour and date :(

[DAZnBLAST]

Not tried new software with old driver as new software was giving me root programming Code 52 error (unsigned drivers) and I was having to disable Win10 driver checker.

 

MFD date and time display can be changed by right clicking your profiler icon (bottom right corner of screen) > Control Panel > MFD tab.

Hi guys

 

One of my friends was just advised by one of the guys at saitek support about some new drivers and software for the X series.

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Windows10/

 

I am going to test them for my X52 Pro, if you wish try them yourself.

Windows 10 – Saitek HOTAS Beta Drivers and Software Release

Posted by Lalo Galvan on 04 September 2015 07:53 AM

Edited September 4, 2015 by BIGNEWY

[Ramstein]

I'm still getting repeated keystrokes with my Saitek X52 with the Win10 beta drivers and software. It gets worse the longer the profile is applied to the joystick, until one tap of the master mode button fires me through about 3 or 4 different modes.

 

 

you must follow the direction exactly to remove the signed driver check, please -re-read and follow the instructions on the link provided... :joystick: it worked for me..

 

=========================

 

X52, X52 Pro and X65f - Windows 10, 64 bit – During stage 4 the driver may not over install correctly due to an older signed driver taking priority over the beta version. To resolve this:

 

1. 
   
   1. 
      
   2. Hold down the shift key on your keyboard, keep it held down.
      
   3. Click the Start button, click power and then click restart.
      
   4. You can release the Shift key.
      
   5. You will be presented with a light blue screen with some options.
      
   6. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Start up Settings, then click restart.
      
   7. When the Startup Settings screen appears press F7 on your keyboard.
      
   8. Windows will continue to load as normal.
      
   9. Rerun the driver installation.
      
   10. When prompted, click the install driver anyway option, to get the latest version installed correctly.
       

[sniperwolfpk5]

You must uninstall previous drivers plus delete some thing call programming ... in device manager

[FOXFIRE TWOONE]

I tried the beta's out, and nothing has changed. Some commands still will not work. I did everything correct to no avail.

[HiJack]

I will try a clean install during next week.
