Saitek has new SST software out

[andyfoot]

My apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I found last night that Saitek released a new updated SST software on Dec 17. I've downloaded it and so far no problems. It has re-introduced some of the features it used to have, like the model viewer that shows what each button press does, and showing all the button press commands on the Throttle MFD (it wasn't working for the HAT switches for a while). Good to see they are still supporting us.

Just a warning, the new (old) grid view is buggy, you may need to upgrade your Microsoft .Net framework (if it's out of date).

 

It's still a bit buggy after that so I suggest you save your profile often.

 

Saying that it's been quite stable over the last few weeks.

 

The biggest thing for me is the re-introduction of the right alt mapping.

What was wrong with saitek's original software?

Attn: Saitek X52 and X52 Pro Joystick users !

Black Shark and other games may have/need to have game keyboard commands, either created by the user or already used by the game. Saitek SST Software versions up until now would not allow 'Right-Shift' key combinations to be programmed using the Saitek Profile software. The SST profile editing and making software would not accept the Right-Shift key as a function.

The new Saitek BETA SST Software has the problem Fixed! So now, if you want to program a key sequence of (example) Right-Shift+J , you now can. If you have the latest non-beta version of Saitek SST Software, you can just take the Beta SST and write directly over the SST files without having to uninstall the SST Software and Drivers. No need to update the Drivers. Leave those alone if they are the latest Drivers.

BTW, I have uploaded my updated Saitek X52 Pro Black Shark Profile (in a zip file with several other flight sim profiles) to the Saitek Forum. Look in the Game Profiles section:
