Having trouble with x52 buttons.

[Grampy]

I am unable to get any button presses to work in-game. I am running Vista 32 with the x52 with driver 6.0.4.1 and software 6.6.0.38.

 

The stick and throttle input just fine for all axis. However none of the buttons register. For example, I assigned my trigger (button 1) to space with the profile editor, engage my profile from the saitek task bar icon, and cleared the input from the ingame joystick assignments, but in game it does not work. Am I missing something?

 

Update: I just checked and used the profile editor 'test profile' button showed any output, and it is not showing any output at all. hrmmm.

Update: I had installed the beta profile editing software and I think that was the problem, I have reinstalled the latest normal software and It seems to be working. Im going to test it ingame now.

 

Thanks

Just an FYI. When I programmed a toggle switch for opening door on my x52 I initially entered it as "C + R Ctrl". After loading profile it would not work correctly in the game. After much trial an error I could get it to work correctly when the modifier is first then the key command. So, the switch for opening the door should be programmed as "R Crtl + C". For some reason entering "C" then the modifier causes the game to ignore the modifer "R Ctrl". Hope that makes sense to you.

Thanks for the tip, that could cause a lot of frustration.

To use the RControl, LControl ... with Black Shark by using the saitek software (SST), try to use the "Advanced Commands" with the release column

(see manual page 6 - 7 : http://www.saitek.com/manuals/SST_Manual_En.pdf )
