X45 Throttle will not work

[CupOHemlock]

I have been at this since early yesterday. I have read every post I can find both here and on the Saitek site but nothing is working.

 

The throttle works fine for everything but FC2. I read the manual, but the "Axis assign" function does not seem to work with any joystic axis.

 

I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled 4 times, and this last go I even eradicated every vestige of Saitek from the computer in regedit

 

Win7 (64)

 

Patience is gone, brain turned to goo. I need some help.

As much as you love your X45, don't you think maybe it time to put it on the Honor shelf..and buy a new Joy....:joystick:

 

Instead of stressing yourself...:thumbup:

I found a X52 Pro for $114.00 I will have it Friday and give it a go. I am disappointed, but I have wanted this stick for awhile anyway.

Not complaining just explaining

 

I too have an X-45 that work well with LOMAC and FC minus the binding and sticking (that’s another story for another time). But when it comes to BS and FC2 it will not integrate correctly by using the STT software or the programming section in either game. When I purchased BS and set aside a day to reprogram my X-45, well let's just say things went downhill from there. So when I purchased FC2 I thought little or no changes would be needed when setting up my X-45 for this Sim. I had assumed that the transition would be a smooth one. My problems are assigning buttons and keys and keeping them as a named profiles, both games change the settings each time I start the game along with other issue (make a note of that if you would ED). This has kept me from flying for some time due to frustration and lack of information on how to properly correct this issue. My assumptions are that it is not either of the games but the stick, software and or drivers; they maybe too old to work with the newer games (if I only had a nickel for every time I heard that one). I would hate to think the issue is me and that I just can’t figure out how to program my stick for both games. True some of you might say “Willy, it’s time for a new stick” but that is not the point. When I started out in this “hobby” aka my wife says “addiction” all I had was a LOMAC demo an old Dell with no video card and hand-me-down MS Thrust Master. Now, six video cards, seven HD’s, ten RAM sticks, two processers, three mother boards, two power supply’s, fifteen LED and non LED fans, two gaming towers, three monitors, three key boards, two mouse’s, one Track IR 3 pro, one Vector expansion clip, one Track Clip pro (save your money!), purchased LOMAC, purchased FC (twice)(that was my fault, wasted activations), purchased BS, purchased BS manual, purchased FC2, one Saitek pro flight pedals and one X-45 later. I think you get my point. My trusty 45 should work? Yes? True, it’s not like I wasn’t going to buy all that stuff anyway, but that’s beside the point. I like my 45, it feels good…and it was my first…first HOTAS! Now what was my point? Oh! My X-45 doesn’t work either, and it should. I’ll tell you what community, instead of all these fancy how to flying training videos, make a how to program my precious Saitek X-45 video. Why make that video you ask? Well, so my wife will stop throwing water on me to snap me out of my thumb sucking fetal position in the corner can’t program my X-45 for the hundredth time session. I just want to fly again! Or I could just buy a new stick.:joystick:
