SinandGrin Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I am having a very frustrating problem occur with my Saitek Profile Editor Software. I Just bought the X-52 Pro and wanted use the SST to build a profile for DCS-BS as apposed to using the in game menu system. The problem i run into is after i have programmed about 30+ commands with the software already it starts to un-map and re-map previously entered buttons to new commands on its own. For example i might set switch "A" to raise / lower gear and then i would program switch "E" to lock target. Then i would notice that the software has remapped switch "A" to lock target. It doesn't happen to all the buttons but enough to drive me nuts. I have looked on Saitek's forums and a bit though the forums here but didn't find anyone really with the same problems. I thought someone mentioned that their software "got a little screwy" when they had a bunch of Modes and Sub-Modes setup. I have 3 main modes, and 3 sub-modes for a total of 6. Not sure if this could be overloading something. I hope someone can shed some light on all this! I'm running Vista 64 Saitek Driver Version: 6.2.2.4 (64-bit) Saitek Software Version: 6.2.2.4 BTW, i had the same problem when i went to create a new profile for FSX..
Slayer Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 It could be that after you input your macro your clicking too fast and you hit the arrow that pops up under the X and inadvertantly selecting a different command? I would also reccomend to upgrade to version 6.6.0.38 of the SST progaming software , the beta link is in their forum, works better than any other version to date. BTW there is a cockpits and HOTAS subforum you should probably post questions like this in there.

SinandGrin Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Thanks i have tried to be very careful in my macro input methods and I don't think that is the problem. I had been using the newer beta version of the program with the same issues and thought that i was simply having issues with it because the beta version was buggy, but i'll try a fresh new install and see if it helps. I forgot about the dedicated HOTAS Subforum, oopps. I can't move this post though, correct?
SinandGrin Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Humm well I'm not sure what i did but it seems to be working now. I unistalled everything and reinstalled version 6.6.0.38 (6.6.1.15). Thanks for the quick help Slayer!
Lav69 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Don't know if this will help but make sure that in BS controller setup none of your hotas buttons are mapped. Ex.: Button 3 mapped to gear. Go through and clear them all. Might help if there are conflicts.

Everything now works and i guess i'll just chalk it up to a bad version of the Saitek software. The latest version 6.6.0.38 (6.6.1.15) seems to be working fine with BS. I will try FSX this afternoon.
