Nitro_74 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I've recently installed the latest software and drivers for my X52's profiler, and went ahead and completely re-created my BS profile. I'm only using Mode's 1, 2, 1+pinkie and 2+pinkie, each with their own respective key combos. I've also named each of them differently (NAV, COMBAT, NAV 2, COMBAT 2, respectively). Before updating to the newer software, when I'd load the profile, my throttle MFD would state the mode name (i.e, NAV) then the profile name. Now, with the new software, driver, and profile, when I load the profile, instead of the name of the mode I gave it, it'll now say 'Mode 1', then the profile name. When I rotate the MODE dial, it'll show the different modes at the very top of the MFD, but in the profile window, it'll still say 'Mode 1', then the profile name. And, when I try to clear the profile, the profiler in Windows will show it cleared, but my MFD still shows the profile name. Any ideas? Finally, for whatever reason, be it with the older software or newer version, during BS game play, eventually I hit a button that sort of locks and won't go away on the MFD, or stop functioning in-game, thus preventing all other key presses from properly recongnizing in-game. For instance, earlier today I was testing my newly created profile and hit my Toggle 6 switch. After pressing and releasing, the MFD continued to display the title of that function I gave it "L-140 Laser Warning System Reset", and everything else on the HOTAS ceased to function...all the Fire buttons, Toggles, etc., ceased to function. When trying to close out of BS, it'll now either lock up or close to Windows, but then lock up when I try close the profile. If I try to clear the profile, the profiler will say it has, but the MFD will still show the profile loaded. I'm at a total loss, and am getting really frustrated. I haven't set any macros with my BS profile or advanced buttons. The key hang up in-game hasn't been specific to one particular key either. One day it was my Fire D button with the pinkie switch. Today it was my Toggle 5 switch without the pinkie switch. Please help. I really want to get back into BS with my new HOTAS, but am finding increasingly difficult as of late. Driver Version: 6.0.4.1 Software Version: 6.6.0.38 Thanks, Nitro74 IYAAYAS!

unknwn Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 hello, i see you posted long time ago. Perhaps you already found out what the problem was. I had the same problem. MFD locks up and profile doesnt work anymore after hitting a button/slider/wheel with assigned command through saitek profiler. The problem was the length of the command name in the profile. Looks like you cant set command name longer than 16 symbols otherwise MFD locks up and profile stops working. Perhaps there is a bug or hardware limitation for specific x52 units, because not all units have this problem.
