ComradeLucifer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 As to your questions. 1. just got the stick a couple weeks ago when I was getting into A-10- I had ordered a defective thrustmaster hotas x and returned it and replaced it with my saitek x52 nonpro model. 2. Unfortunately I'm the only simmer I know personally, so I can't borrow a stick to test. 3. However, I noticed during navigation training that I couldn't get the mic switch up to work to call Batumi airbase. (I'm using SF Jack Bauer's profile- maybe I just don't know how to switch between the different functions). Do you switch modes or do you hold down the pinky button?

ComradeLucifer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Specfically, the stick was plugged in for the first time on may 17th or 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 One other thought occurred to me- I don't believe I've ever had this BSOD independent of some interaction with the saitek- it always happens when it is jacked in or shortly after or when I tried to open the SST profiling software to see if there was a problem with the profile (the mic switch issue). I had the laptop on all day yesterday, no stick, no BSOD. I can run lots of graphically advanced games- ex. the witcher 2, starcraft ii, shogun ii, arma ii, etc without this occuriing.

ComradeLucifer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 One MORE thought for you man (just trying to give you as much to go on as possible)- last time I tested the buttons in the control panel they ALL seemed functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hey Jeff, just tested autopilot in Surrounded for over an hour- no problelms or BSOD. Test was performed without the saitek jacked in or the trackir. So I think the problem is either with the power voltage (in which case the hub coming tomorrow should help) or the stick itself. I'm going out to lunich/dinner right now, but I'll be back later, hopefully we can puzzle this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyd123 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 hey lucifer... OK thats good news. Sounds like you're having my kind of luck with your stick purchases!. Thats good that surrounded! worked. Id like you to try surrounded again with only your TIR plugged into the belkin hub (if you still have it) to make sure that the TIR is OK (ya never know). hey its something to do until the new hub arrives. you could patch the game too so you can watch the shadows go by in your pit while flying on AP . Im pretty sure your stick is either bad or simply drawing too much power. the new hub should tell. You're very welcome for the help and thanks for thanking me... I appreciate it! The community of this sim are very good guys and are usually very helpful with one another ... god knows we need it when things go crappy. Ill check in tomorrow buuuuudddy.

ComradeLucifer Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 so check this. I was trying tir without the belkin- just my USB port, it was almost an hour into it, and I all of a sudden get two red lights- indicated a malfunction with the TIR. I believe this again to be a power issue- the pluggable hub from Amazon coming tomorrow should help. Thoughts on this, Jeff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 so I tried it again, no TIR problems for an hour running surrounded- must have been an honest to god glitch as it did not occur again. Btw, does anyone know how long the warranty is for the TIR5? The pluggable powered hub comes today, so that should let me test if the stick is drawing too much power or is defective. Hopefully, you'll be on at the same time as me Jeff, so we can discuss this problem real-time. The hub should be here in a couple hours, until then I'll test TIR again. Any idea what could have caused the red lighting (anyone)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm a doofus- to orange lights means trackir is paused- must have somehow done that inadvertantley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hub is here, hooked up nice, plugged in saitek, no problems, gonna plug in TIR 5 and give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 BSOD With TIR 5 and Saitek plugged into external hub...I was looking at the layout in SF Jack Bauer's profile and his buttons in the lua did not correspond to his buttons as shown in the profiling software? I'm at a loss, what the hell should I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffyd123 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) ok got it... the minidump is the same deal as all the others. I would say that stick is bad if the plane flew for an hour without it. the last test would be to run another game and 1. HAVE THE STICK PLUGGED IN to the new hub. 2. DO NOT touch the stick or push any of its buttons. 3. do not load the profiling software... in fact turn it off. It seems to me if you bought the stick on the 18th that it has a short in it. any USB device that shorts will instantly BSOD your rig... its also insanely bad for it.... the hub will help protect the pc though. Hey I have another question for you... What was wrong with the warthog you bought?
