cichlidfan Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Glad to see you are calmly waiting for the new stick. As Jeff says, it will all probably be fine and if not you get to meet a Dell tech. In the end you will be having fun...although not as soon as you had planned.

cichlidfan Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 using the uninstallers in "Programs and Features" in your control panel should be fine. BTW, the names for the programs to uninstall may not say Saitek. My programming software is just called "Smart Technology Programming Software" followed by a version. The driver software is listed as "Saitek Direct Output" also followed by a number. Those should be the only things you need to get rid of from what I can see.

ComradeLucifer Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 WARTHOG should be here soon, really looking forward to it :D
ComradeLucifer Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 it's BEAUTIFUL! But, I gotta go have dinner, will try it when I get back
jeffyd123 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Hmmmmmmmm.... Either he's flying in blissful ignorance that we're all here waiting to hear how its doing....... . Or His laptop BSOD'd and he's sitting inside of his idling car in the closed garage holding a little A-10 plastic model. Poor Lucifer, he's an excitable kid that just wanted to fly.....

ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Hey Jeff, LOL. Went out last night and it got pretty late. IT WORKS! Tried it for little over an hour, tried training, surrounded, etc. No BSOD and the stck seems MUCH more responsive. I will test it more extensively today :) but it is working really good at this point. The WARTHOG is unbelievaby cool- with TIR it adds so much immersion...its outstanding. I'm running it through my Pluggable external Port and it is working fine. I didn't get a chance to run it with TIR last night, gonna try that this morning. Thank you and cichildfan for all your're help and patience. If you have any advice or questions, let me know. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 also, at the risk of sounding gay i feel like we've been through something together- not Stalingrad, but something similar :P

jeffyd123 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Phew! .... I feel like I just gave birth! well so it was the stick... interesting. I wonder if its just junk or it draws too much power? Glad to hear its working for you Lucifer! frustrating but you got an awesome stick out of the dealio! Have fun buuuuuuuuuuddddy. Im at the first fighter wing if you want to fly sometime (great guys over there). http://firstfighterwing.com/joomla/... jump on their teamspeak. thanks to the others and cichlidfan for their help as well. been quite the little tech support ordeal eh? Remember to clean that laptop out once a month lucifer..... Im outta here! Jeff i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Jeff, If you still have time for one last question; I'd appreciate it. How do I clean the laptop properly?
ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 and thanks for the invitation to fly with you; first I have to learn how!
jeffyd123 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Blow air in the vent where the hot air comes out, that canned air stuff works good. dont let dust bunnies build up in there... gaming on a laptop needs max airflow or it'll burn up. go get team speak 3 client and install it, then go to this link http://firstfighterwing.com/joomla/ then click on the top of the TeamSpeak list (it says 1st VFW) on the right side of the web page. it will start teamspeak and hook you up.... hopefully. Ill look for ya in there... just hang out and talk with people.... say your visiting from an invite from dethjeff (me). Its a good way to learn by flying with people.... either way have fun learning!

ComradeLucifer Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 everything is working great joystick wise! But I seem to have develped a different problem (no BSOD, don't worry). During DSMS training and landing, the instructor gives me orders, I follow them, and nothing happens. Eventually, the application crashed during DSMS as I kept pressing the buttons hoping to jog the program. I got a BEX64 error code...sorry to bother you guys again (I REALLY am), but is there any way you can help me with this?
ComradeLucifer Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 just unplugged the warthog, same problem...definitly seems software related...no crash, but no instructor after I am told to set ILS frequency in landing training. Could someone with the 1.1.0 patch try landing training and see if you get the same/similar error? Or does anybody know of a way of fixing this? Is it possible to roll back the patch (I have the Steam version)?
jeffyd123 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 ya lucifer as far as i know the training is broken... i tried it and it started doing weird things and locked up or wouldnt respond.... never tried it again. best thing is to troll the foruims to learn new things and read stuff off the net about the game.... theres some very good training videos out there. i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
