    One of the best games ever made! Durandal attacks on Airfields deep behind enemy lines happy days.:)

     

    The dynamic campaign was way ahead of its time, one of the first games where you could assign wingmen separate tasks with TOT. Persistent damage between missions. You could set the game up with 2 joystick, one for the control column and the other for the throttle, again way ahead of anything else at the time.

     

    Also one of the first flight sims with polygon graphic, when most still had vector.

     

    Digital Integrations finest hour.

     

    Yes your memory details are remarkable. Are you an elephant ? I do used a flight stick and a pacman coin-op controller as a throttle with a sungsam made wooden handle attached on it . :D

    Try booting with full admin rights and redoing the procedure you've already done (adding your user account in permissions).

     

    1) Control Panel > User accounts > Change UAC settings - drop the slider to the bottom

    2) Type 'Local Security Policy' in start screen/menu search and press enter

    3) Go to Local Policies > Security Options, scroll to the bottom and set 'User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode' to Disabled

    4) Restart PC when prompted

    5) If needed, Re-add your user account to Temp permissions and re-enable the option from step 3

    Powered USB Hubs usually have bad quality transformers with voltage instabilities making pots tremble. USB Hubs share bus and generally is a problem for X52 drivers. You will have already noticed that even changing usb port triggers driver reinstallation witch is something to be avoided. On the permanently choosen MB usb port for X52, Check out for how to enable 5 Volts feed (far more voltage stable than cheap usb hubs power transformers). It's on BIOS or on Pins on motherboard. There is also a setting on Win8/7 power scheme options not to allow to sleep or wake up usb devices when not used causing resets on X52 (X52 suddenly Blinks). Disable that.

     

    Don't worry, I faced all problems above and even more as Saiteks noobie client some 5-7 years ago. I spit blood but finally overcome all of them. Once you master all of its traps, you will not willing to abandon it for years.

     

    It is also one of the most moddable sticks that really enhance handling precision and feeling, something that will start concern you in future time.

    Hi, just discovered thread and I intent to use this fabulous peace of software using single big monitor configuration. So my questions are for the options bellow:

     

    - Can I hide/close/disable ultra MFCDs on demand (useful on single monitor) ?

    - If I can, is rendering of displays capable to be diverted back to in-cockpit and vice versa on demand ? (without needing to be rendering simultaneously on both)

     

    hope I not repeat a question thousand times answered.

    i just changed it, same issues of course... there is no way in this world i will do whats shown in the video!!! lol

     

    i'll just have to use the rotaries as two different buttons with bands... that way if the rotaries flicker they will not input any keystroke as they are resting after the release advanced command :(

     

    Indeed there is a possibility, from experience, your rotaries to tremble because :

     

    - you are connected to a self powered hub instead of direct motherboard usb port

    - if you are connected to a motherboard usb port then disable power management for that port on device manager.

    - completely uninstall drivers and do the reinstall procedure exactly as described on post http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2384085&postcount=4

     

    then do clean your pots using the right spray clenner (pain free not included) :D !

    Sometimes there is coil dirt inside potentiometers by production line or your pots were immobile for so long inbox (X52s are not brand new models, there are stocked). You just have to use spray cleaner without alcohol for potentiometers. No just any other cleaner spray.

     

    Mine is 5-7 years old and pots are becoming almost unusable every 2 years. I keep them precise like day one, by cleaning them. Follow video procedures bellow how to open X52 throttle without risking any bad moves.

    On the other hand you may return it if convenient but no reinsurance the same matter will not exist. Eventually every pot develop dirt from use or immobility.

    Yes do please follow the reinstall procedure first. Chances are high to be resolved . If wires is the case, then after fixing cover them with dact tape as extra shield, friction will apply on dact tape not on wire shield coating.

    Hope you escape with solutions above !

     

    In any case dont miss to completely uninstall and reinstall drivers/software the way Saitek mentions as Uninstall Dance, if abone doesn't work. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84295

     

    Also There is a bad possibility to be an incident of cables shield coating ware / misconduct caused by the movement of throttle. Cables are running from buttons of throttle down to the base of it and into the printed circuit

     

    Good lack with that.

    They say "wrong maneuvers" because plane immediately after departing ground at 40 feet, banked to the right and wing scratched the airstrip. This is possible due to stall imbalance from flame out situation .... or FBW / control surfaces failure ..... or to the unintended disconnection / destabilization of AGM-88 HARM simulation POD carried on right wing.

     

    In any case NATO has lost too many special pilots and ground crew at once yesterday !
