Bailen Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hey Filthyone: It looks like my problem has been solved, I am not experiencing the issue anymore. I am still not sure what I did to correct it because I am a fool and did three things at once, not thinking that I really should try to isolate what the problem was in case it happens again. I unintalled all saitek software and drivers and reinstalled, updated motherboard USB drivers, and switched over to my two USB 3.0 ports on my motherboard that use their own separate controller. That being said switching back to USB 2.0 ports has yet to reproduce the issue either, perhaps it was either a motherboard driver issue or a software or x55 driver issue.

PFunk1606688187 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Wasn't all that impressed with his review. Didn't feel that all inclusive, mostly it was him raving about how nice it was. He says he isn't paid to say that stuff but he is appearing in public for Saitek using the stick soon apparently so... uhhh that SOUNDS like he's associating himself with them in a not so unbiased way. I would have appreciated something like what SimHQ does where they run software that actually shows how accurate it is. Also since this is basically something of a successor, or might end up being, to the X52 comparing classic X52 problems with the X55 would have been good. He mentioned the rotaries a lot and I wanted to yell into the monitor "What about the pots! Do they spike at all!?" It felt very borderline fan video. Most of the review was just him flying it and saying "its so smooth". I also found it odd that he was unwilling to utter the brand name of the main competitor to the X55 as he put it. Why not? I feel like he's getting a little cozy with Saitek and he's gonna ride that boost to higher subs. I felt like there was little review of the minutiae of it all. He shrugged off the whole toggles thing, but what I noticed immediately when he was flying was how awkwardly he had to reach around the throttle to use most of the toggles. on the X52 those used to be on the base of the stick so thats easier to reach for blindly. However, the ones on the X55 seems like they'll be a lot more awkward to use in the heat of things. I like Froogle but... meh, not liking this review much. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered it, and then watched the video, and I can't stand the fact that it's not a 'dual-trigger' ..so I called off the order! ..and you saved me some cash! I keep seeing this, and it begs the question because I'm curious: Just how many joysticks out there come with dual stage triggers? I might be wrong, but CH don't do one, Saitek don't do one, Logitech don't seem to do one, Thrustmaster only do it in the Warthog... I understand why A10 drivers want it, but is it really that much of an essential feature? Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-52pro has it, as well as L. G-940 which I own I understand why A10 drivers want it, but is it really that much of an essential feature?I use it also for the Ka-50, first stage to fire the rockets and Vikhrs and second stage to fire the gun (or vice versa) Edited March 30, 2014 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

I understand why A10 drivers want it, but is it really that much of an essential feature? Cougar and x-52 pro are the last 2 ones I had, and they both featured it. Modifiers arn't in IL2:BoS (yet) ..and there are no button for both cannon and machine-gun, (and I don't want to program it for a single button) and for rockets and bombs on the main stick.. (maybe if using the really out of place rightside button) and I wanted it mainly for the dual throttle, and the upcoming F-18, but the F-18 have fewer hat switches then the A-10. So I'll stick to my old x-52 pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayGlow Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just a heads up. I have an X-65 and found this registry hack to turn the mouse pointer into an actual analog axis mini stick. You have to sacrifice another axis, myself I gave up the rudder twist since I have pedals. Not sure if this is possible for the X-55, but maybe a simple modification of these files would work http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=63794&highlight=Mini "It takes a big man to admit he is wrong...I'm not a big man" Chevy Chase, Fletch Lives 5800X3D - 64gb ram - RTX3080 - Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
