Oddball52 Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I've been away from sim flying for several years, my beloved X65f has been tucked away in it's original packaging waiting to break free. Building a new system for DCS and would like to know what drivers and software to use for Win10. I have these, just not sure if they work or if there's something newer... Saitek_X65F_Flight_Controller_7_0_45_0_x86_Drivers (not sure of the release date on this one) Saitek_X65F_Flight_Controller_SD7_0_10_6_BETA_64_bit_Driver (BETA and seems to be from 2011) Saitek_X65F_Flight_Controller_SD7_00000018_64_Full_pfw (also seems to be from 2011) Thanks, "I mean like, so many Positive Waves, maybe we can't lose!!"
Dudikoff Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 These were the latest ones I've found some months ago when I was testing if mine still works. https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/Mad-Catz/Mad-Catz-Saitek-X-65F-Pro-Flight-Combat-Stick-Driver-70536-64-bit.shtml https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/JOYSTICK-GAMEPAD-WHEELS-and-TABLETS/Mad-Catz/Mad-Catz-Saitek-X-65F-Pro-Flight-Combat-Stick-Driver-Utility-70536-64-bit.shtml i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Oddball52 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks for the reply. Were you able to get yours to work? "I mean like, so many Positive Waves, maybe we can't lose!!"
Oddball52 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks, that's a relief, I'd hate to have to give up my X65f. "I mean like, so many Positive Waves, maybe we can't lose!!"
Steambat Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Love the x65f, been using it for years don't see a reason to change it. Using 7053 as well, only problem I had was intially reloading the software after a rebuild but got round it after searching the web. Intel Core i9 10900K, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Geforce RTX 3080 Ti, MSI Z490 Godlike, HP Reverb G2, MS Windows 10 Home Premium. MFG Crosswind rudder pedals & X65F.
Outlaw Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Just get mine out of storage also and couldnt get the software to work, the Joystick works with windows however the profile editor/software can't be installed properly. Any of you got his working on windows 10 21H2? Specs: 13900k @ 5.5Ghz, 64GB @ 3600Mhz, 3080Ti.
Kayos Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I don't have the software unfortunately but it's not really needed for DCS. Only the drivers. I looked for the software the other day but couldn't find it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Outlaw Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Can you adjust the force sensing or not? Can you share the drivers, the ones above not working for me? Edited March 16, 2022 by Outlaw Specs: 13900k @ 5.5Ghz, 64GB @ 3600Mhz, 3080Ti.
Steambat Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 i just tried to download it from the saitek website, but their links don't appear to be working. That said I still have the old versions that I still use. Intel Core i9 10900K, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Geforce RTX 3080 Ti, MSI Z490 Godlike, HP Reverb G2, MS Windows 10 Home Premium. MFG Crosswind rudder pedals & X65F.
Outlaw Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I got mine to work, both drivers and profile software in windows 10 pro 21H2. Had to tick compability option (Win Xp2) before installing it. Specs: 13900k @ 5.5Ghz, 64GB @ 3600Mhz, 3080Ti.
Kayos Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Sorry, didn't see this until now. PM me if any of you need me to send the driver. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Outlaw Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Here is a working copy of the Saitek X65f drivers and software (profile editor) with windows 10 21H2 Drivers & Software link Edited March 26, 2022 by Outlaw 1 Specs: 13900k @ 5.5Ghz, 64GB @ 3600Mhz, 3080Ti.
Oddball52 Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 A while back I read something about an app that would assign the various devices plugged in, hotas, rudder pedals, Trackir, etc to ports to avoid the problems when windows reassigns them... I had a problem before where it'd change things around and mess up the setups... Does that sound familiar to anyone? "I mean like, so many Positive Waves, maybe we can't lose!!"
