go to http://www.saitek.com/ and download/install the latest drivers and the sst programming software for your os. setup a profile and save it. on the taskbar you will have a small icon. if you right click on it you should see your profile there. select it and off you go. should work. let me know if the problem persists. hope it works

 

cheers mate,

If you have Vista, there is a little trick to get the SST software to work.

Download the SST software, now use unzip and detach the parts in the application. Use only the software_loc9 to install the SST software.

Now it should work.

i got the newer drivers but everything looks different now . there is no pic of the stick nor throttle there . before , when i hit a key , it would highlite, on the pic of the stick , like .

man , this seems a bit complicated . ha ha .

i think i will have to really put some time into this .

re- read the manuel several times .

did i read that i can NAME a mapped key , and it would show up in the mfd?

i am sure its a great stick , once i gets use to it .

thanks for replying here .

ill need all the help i can get .

i am useing windows xp professional with service pak 3 .

cheers again .

This looks like one of 2 available views that I had on an older version of SST when I used an X45. They called it "data view" and "3d view". You changed it with a toolbar button.

Unfortunately i don't have the pro, but i do that the standard X-52.

 

When the new drivers were released (to conincide with my new saitek peddles) and i installed them (after uninstalling the old drivers) I received a error with my Hotas and it wouldn't load up any profiles.

 

I contacted Saitek custome support (who are very quick at replying and excelent). They advised that the drivers dig deep and gave me a simple (but indepth) list to get in there and dig them out and re-install.

 

All worked fine after.

 

If i was you, email Siatek now. They will sort you out !

yes, the latest sst software doesnt seem to give you a 3d view. i got the same problem. but to map the buttons simple put the key as per lockon default setup in the field of the button. click on the field and press E.g. trigger: space, launch: enter, fire a: f to activate flaps. afterwards confirm with the green tickmark each input and when ready save. let me know what works from the above mentioned and what doesnt

anyways , i am at least getting somewheres .

can you tell me how to use multiple keystrokes . like ,, ctrl-c , for the canopy .

thanks again .

ok ! it is easy - as with your example - click the box for the button and then press ctrl and then press c - important is that you release the button before you hit the next one - click on the green tick and save it

yes buddy i did .

i emailed saitek support , maybe they can help .

i have a g15 keyboard . i have some of the buttons mapped to lockon .

i wonder is the keyboard conflicting ?

the single keys work on both the stick and keyboard .

funny stuff .

again , thanks a bunch here .

cheers .
