Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 So I got a Stick and Throttle setup that is the Saitek X56. It seems to be working but I have just noticed something... the drivers are all installed and it works in DCS but the rudder only turns right. DCS only shows "RZ" as a selection option. I have included screenshots of the driver setup screen both twisting left and twisting right. So it registers both directions. But in game it is not. Any ideas?
Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 I'll add that I attempted to setup a VJoy and Joystick Gremlin for Xwing and Tie Fighter and noticed the rudder twist wasn't working there to the left either. So the input is working at the windows level... but...?
9thHunt Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Rz is the name of the entire access, it doesn't matter if it's left or right. Try using the actual X56 software, I've found that it works better then the default windows config app.
Foka Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Rudder is just one axis on one potentiometer. In center position in should show half of its way. And in both ends of movement it should show 0% and 100%.
Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Thanks guys. Problem is that the x56 app and the Windows device app both don't calibrate. The X56 app only calibrates X and Y and the Windows device app doesnt have any calibration function. Just a function that shows if the buttons, sticks, and axis's work (they all do btw). So I dont know what to do calibrate it.
Razor18 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Did you go into Control Panel / Devices and Printers, then RIGHT mouse click on rudder and Game controller settings, then select Rudder Pedals from the controllers and Properties?
Mumby Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Hi,in the DCS controller settings make sure the twist axis on the stick is not set up as a slider (make sure the box is unticked). I don’t use the x56 software or windows calibration and rudder works fine for me in game. Let me know about the slider thing.
Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Well, I just figured out my Z axis is left it looks like at the neutral. That's the problem. And I have no clue how to calibrate it. There is no calibrate option in Windows, and the X56 app doesn't have a calibration option for z axis that I can find. Only y and x.

Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Here is what the calibration window that came with the driver shows. Calibrate Axes only calibrates the X and Y. In DCS it shows I am hard left at center. Twist right works to go right. At the calibration window and the windows window of my last post it shows twist left and twist right both register, so its not a problem with the stick. It is how the program is registering it somehow. I have no clue what to do.

Jimd0586 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Thanks Razor. I'll try that but I did some re-calibration already and it didnt seem to help. I may completely uninstall and reinstall. Any idea the registry entry for the stick and throttle so I can erase it?
Jimd0586 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Posted November 13, 2020 FIGURED IT OUT!!!! It took a Clear Calibration app from Logitech. https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023194074 It seems to work now. Next thing is to learn to fly!!!!! Thanks all. I included the link for anyone with this issue in the future. 1
