Jinro Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I've got a problem with my X52 Pro, and I'd like to re-calibrate it (Windows Vista). I tried reinstalling it but it didn't work. My rudder is messed up. When I apply left rudder, it will actually translate into right rudder for a few seconds before translating into the proper left rudder. Right rudder works fine. I don't know if it's a software issue or the joystick has a short.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Open joystick control panel by clicking on profiler icon in system tray and try joystick twist there. You can do it in game controllers applet in Windows control panel. Enter game into serach field to find applet. As the last resort, you can increase dead zone for z rotation. Resistors used in X52 joysticks are really bad. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] =653=Tez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay82 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 when i need to recalibrate my stick, i unplug it, and plug it back in... letting the stick stay centered without touching it while plugging it back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucic Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Two notes: 1. Joystick calibrates every time you restart your computer. Pluging and unpluging (or the other way) won't work if you plug in to the same USB port. Example: if you hold your stick deflected left during system bootup that position will be your new center. 2. You can delete calibration data from the windows registry. Search for my posts on this forum or do a general search on Saitek forums. Note that there are different keys to be deleted in different operating systems versions! Backup your registry and learn how to restore it before doing that.

Jinro Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 The stick has always been centered on computer startup so that's not the issue. I just changed the dead zones....but Now I have to kick full rudder just to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
