x52 profile editor doesn't work

[VMFA117_Poko]

I have downloaded and installed the newest drivers for Saitek x52 and newest SST profiler but it doesn't work with my flight controller (it's not PRO version). Earlier when I had restarted Windows I saw 'x52 throttle' icon in tray. Now I get 'Cyborg joystick' icon. I can't open the editor and when I try to load up earlier made profile throught the tray icon I get a message:

profile.dat does not contain a profile for this device.

The device has not been profiled.

I can not install previous drivers and SST unfortunatelly. It's just no go. Anyone could help please?

 

I've got still Win XP 32bit SP2.

Drivers version 6.0.4.1 and it sais 'software is not present'

Might be best to have a look at the Saitek site. They have a forum where you can get help for your problem.

In there I found that I need to install newest SST software if I want to use newest drivers but it doesn't work. I'll try to uninstall device in Windows security mode and uninstall all software when I get home today. Then restart OS and I'll try to install older drivers again and older SST. Maybe this will help...

I always use the drivers found on this page in the Saitek Forums: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=11552

 

Rudder and joystick drivers can be found in the list. SST software found at the bottom of the list.

 

The other thing is: I was getting that same message you got when, for example, trying to load a joystick profile on the Saitek rudder icon in the taskbar. Not saying you are doing something similar, but just in case....

Hi mate,

 

did you check lastest version of X52 drivers and STT program?

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Saitek_X52_Flight_Controller_SD6_32_beta2.exe

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Saitek_SST_Software_32_beta2.exe

[VMFA117_Poko]

beta2? I think I didn't. Does it work with standard x52 for sure?

[TorwaK]

it works like a charm and it's the latest version of Saitek software. I use it at home with my X52 Pro for 6 months.

[VMFA117_Poko]

Thanks mate. But You've got PRO version. Anyone can confirm it works with standard x52?

[thereminqblank]

I think those are the same files that I pointed you to Poko.

 

I just thought of this. If you're trying to reinstall your drivers and the old software won't remove, there are some registry entries that may need to be deleted before reinstalling the software. Here is a link for the list:

I personally have NEVER found these entries after uninstalling the Saitek software, but if they are present on your system, you may need to delete them.

Thanks mate. But You've got PRO version. Anyone can confirm it works with standard x52?

 

Look on the page I showed you. Two up from the Pro drivers is the standard X52 driver, and it is the SD6 beta 2 driver.

[VMFA117_Poko]

Yeah indeed. I'll check this when I get home. I will erase those registry entries too - It should help. Thank You very much. All of You :)

No worries at all. The Saitek software can work in mysterious ways

 

:P

Buddy if you have X52 "Pro" you must download this one ;) However you have normal X52 so just download the link which I gave you first.

 

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_32_beta2.exe

 

You can check all software from here.

It works :D I didn't even have to erase entries in reg. I just installed beta2 drivers and SST for x52. Thanks again baddies.

[thereminqblank]

Glad to hear it.

 

:joystick:

[VMFA117_Poko]

One more thing. The new profiler is so much better than I used. Just WOW! At last I can change MODE in LockOn with changing MODE in x52. WOW! This is waaay better profiler.

it's a pleasure for me Poko.

Is it true that the newest drivers DO NOT use .dat profiles but require .pro profiles for the old x52 and new x52 pro ????????????

[thereminqblank]

That's correct. You will need to rebuild your profiles from scratch.

[VMFA117_Poko]

Yes but newest profile is simple to edit imho than previous. You see all modes at once in a table even that you get many more option. You can assign key to the clutch button without messing in win registry. New profile took me 15min preparation.

yes because new version Saitek programs compatible with Vista and have better design for programming to joysticks etc.

Do you guys trust the new saietek software? I dont at all trust or think its worth messing around with, I base that on current new owners and feedback I have seen from old users. Theres too much negatives out thier about this company and thier stuff.

 

Its been along time a product or company has pissed me off so much as they have. I can sit here and think Im totally to blame for not being up on the latest changes but I can assure I did enough work this time to at least provide a fair and working senario for Saitek in the last week and in the last several months. My decision is JUSTIFIED.
