Hi there!
I've had issues with my X52 pro for ages now but instead of trying to solve them so far I rather lived with them.
Now that it just happened again I'm so annoyed by this crap that I finally ask for help here.
The issues:
Both throttle and stick suddenly decalibrate mid-game.
Although working fine when starting a session, eventually I won't be able to throttle down to zero any more (my throttle axis range is set to forward only). Throttle will be above zero even when throttled down completely. Annoying when docking and especially when being interdicted as I can't submit this way (as a workaround I bound "throttle to zero" to a key...)
In the same manner often enough my stick will start to pitch or roll when actually in zero position. Especially annoying in a pvp fight, as you can imagine...
Sometimes also the lights on the stick start to flicker and my inputs won't be registered properly.
The only (temporary) solution I found, when those issues occur, is unplugging and re-plugging the hotas. Usually then it works fine again for some time. The utterly annoying part with this workaround is, when unplugging the hotas, the "Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System" in the Windows task bar disappears. When re-plugging it should automatically be loaded again and most times it does but sometimes it doesn't, even when re-plugging several times, rendering the hotas useless. My only solution to this again is to restart the pc as I haven't found where to restart the darn controller manually.
My questions are, did anyone of you have similar issues and get it solved and does anyone know how to start that darn control software manually?
Another issue is that some buttons on my throttle don't register when in full throttle. In order to make them work when in full throttle I have to temporarily throttle down a bit. This is again funny at times because I usually brake from high speed with the reverse button. If my throttle is too high, however, the reverse button suddenly doesn't register any more and instead of braking I'm accelerating full throttle =) While I think the above issues are software related, I think this one's on the hardware side, so not much to do about it, I guess.
Thanks for reading and cheers!
