protea1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 My sincere apologies if this has been brought up before....by anyone. SAITEK x55 HOTAS is the one in question. fyi have checked the wiring inside and have found NO frayed /damaged wiring. Have searched the "bugs forum" and have found no reference to this problem. The masterarm switch will randomly change from "armed" to "safe" randomly for no apparent reason Also the AG mode changes from AG to AA in flight randomly, without any manual change on hotas throttle. any suggestions? 1.No duplicate keybinds 2.weapons when selected will fire when in 'armed mode" 3.The change is not every time and sometimes remains for the duration of mission. 4. this happens in BOTH Mp and Sp mode.tempMission.miz.trk AMD FX-8350 PALLIT GeForce GTX 1080 [ NVIDIA] CRUCIAL MX500 1TB SDD DELL P4317Q 43" TRACK IR Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Viacom VoiceAttack [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statrekmike Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 In order to fully rule out a hardware issue, you may want to consider plugging the throttle into a powered (very important that it is powered) USB hub. As it stands, the X55 and X56 throttle both draw more power than a typical USB (especially a USB 2.0) can deliver. This causes random "ghost inputs" that can manifest even without the user touching the throttle. When I first got my X56 (functionally identical to the X55 in this specific regard), I found that I was getting odd random inputs. At first, I suspected a faulty throttle but when I plugged it into a powered USB hub, the issues went away entirely. Heck, at one point, Saitek themselves even advised users to go with the powered USB route as it seems to consistently solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
