X56 Issues - loss of control in game

[Fanatic]

Hi

 

For some reason my X56 keeps stopping functioning while flying. One minute it's fine and the next I have to ALT-TAB open the X56 software and then go back in game to get it working again.

 

Is Saitek software really this crap? I'm using a profile with no in game assignments other than pitch/roll/throttle axis's. Should I dump the profile and set all controls in game? Only problem with that, is that I use throttle mini stick as slew and top wheel dial as speed brake extend/retract.

 

Is there a better Saitek software version (I'm using latest), maybe an older simpler version?

 

Thanks

Still doing it :(. In game just now, I was busy with the TGP slewing over a tank, went to lock and then slave to the Mav and nothing. All controls other than pitch and roll on my throttle suddenly stop responding. ALT TAB again and back working.

 

Time to dump this POS and get a warthog.

I would suggest re-installing all the drivers and software from scratch again and also try a different USB port.
