It's all that simple. Uninstall SST software and X52 drivers. Open "Device manager" in your Windows control panel and please uninstall all the four voices under "Programming support", named "Programmable hotkeys", "Programmable Support for Keyboard", "Programmable Support for Mouse" and "Programmable Root Enumerator", all by Madcatz (check if you're unsure by double clicking on each voice before removing). When you remove them, please check the mark for letting Windows remove the software too for those devices.

Now, assuming you've a 64-bit OS, install these (old) drivers by Saitek and these (not so old) SST software by Saitek too (before being acquired by Madcatz) and enjoy your fully functioning X52 with Windows 10.

Source: me and my X52. I spent all the past night trying all the combinations of the various drivers and software by Saitek until I found the good one for Windows 10.

Everything is working great. Game loads in 2 minutes. Slight improvement in play overall, about 7%. My comp is 8 years old. I use medium settings. Going to try the new amd video driver tomorrow

How did you determine a 7% improvement? (just wondering if there's some fancy benchmark thingy that can let me know if my system has improved...)

Where did you find the older drivers? I seems to only be able to access the latest drivers on the site and I guess I need different drivers for the Pro.

CTRL-F shows the current fps. It will vary depending on how much is being drawn so you need to be careful to make a like for like comparison. For example, I use the 1st training scenario as a reference.

Windows 10 and voice attack

Sorry if this has been discussed already. I've been using voice attack with no problems for a few months but since I installed windows 10 I can't get any of the commands to work. I get the vocal confirmation of the command, the correct key press is displayed in notepad and the keybinds look OK but nothing is happening in game.
Any ideas, Commanders?

Have you tried going into Windows Speech Settings and re-setting up the voice control stuff? You've got me a bit worried :(

Found I needed to go properties both in launcher and in product folder ed exe file and tick run as administrator. But my files are on a separate hard drive.

I could get as far as the login completed but the play button didn't operate until I did this.

+1 Thank you for the tip. That has saved me some time - I had exactly this too. As did 44para I see. In my case the files are on the C drive, so that doesn't look to be the issue.

Do you run it as administrator? Give it a shot if you aren't :)

I just installed it, it's great. I feel stupid, but it's kinda nice to be able to control your pips in combat with voice commands.

When I first ran voice attack after win10 install, i got a message saying it could not find the microsoft speech thingy. Sorry I can't be precise but I wasn't paying too much attention as I clicked okay to see what happened. In game it felt clunky, VA that is. Had to shout a bit. So I exited and went into VA prefs and manually selected the microsoft thingy. Its still not as smooth as it was prior to win10 but its better. I guess VA will update it soon.
