cichlidfan Posted June 6, 2011 Share 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 Share 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 8, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 and thanks for the invitation to fly with you; first I have to learn how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyd123 Posted June 9, 2011 Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeLucifer Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffyd123 Posted June 10, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
