Saitek X45 pitch locks up unable to play

[TardFarmer]

Ok I picked up DCS blackshark the other day, I had no clue a decent Helo sim was being released and I was pumped when I saw this as I have not played a decent one since Longbow 2.

 

I found the axis control settings and have the throttle mapped and the x and y axis. along with my CH rudderpedals. I calibrated everything in windows beforehand and all seemed good. When I go into the game the rudders work but pitch and roll do nothing until I push forward all the way on the stick. As soon as that happens and I let go it automatically pulls all the way back and then locks there and I proceed to do reverse somersaults until I hit the ground. If I go and look at the mappings in axis I see the Y axis is stuck all the way to the right of the axis tune panel.

 

If I start the game over and check the dot is sitting right in the middle where it should be until I push forward with the stick then it pulls all the way to the right and locks there until I restart the game.. Any ideas?

 

Vista 32

4 gigs of ram

Saitek x45 with latest drivers from Saitek, I also tried basic winodws drivers

CH products rudderpedals

track IR2 which I found out the hardway does not work in blackshark either.... lame

double-check the control settings. I use an X-45, CH Pedals, and the cachya head tracking virtual joystick. So in control settings there are 3 joystick devices.

 

I've found that when I configure one, sometimes I'll run the game again later and it will, for some reason, have copied the assignments over to other joysticks so I have to go clear them.

 

Maybe the axis which is locking up is assigned to multiple devices or something?

I checked and I do not see duplicates anywhere. The throttle works fine But as soon as I move the stick to roll or pitch it locks on the right hand side in the tuning area and does not revert til I close the game and restart, rinse and repeat.

 

Thanks for the help though!

I have an extra X-45 laying around here. I'll sell it to you for $30.00 providing that you are in the US. PM me if you are interested.
