Hardware & Technical Saitek x55 rhino
- Thread starter Oculus
- Start date
Get the t-flight. £30-£40...use this during beta...then once x55 issues have been resolved buy one just before ED gets released. This is what I'm doing. t-flight is great.
£250 for the warthog is a little steep...even more so when you realize it doesn't have a stick z axis and thus you can't bind yaw to the stick. This would mean buying pedals along side the stick, so your £250 is now easily £300+
X55 now on Amazon, in stock on June 9th.

I will see if Scan puts it up over the next few days before putting in an order.

I had been keeping an eye on Amazon to sell it, and that is a _really_ good price imo (£141.32), I'm expecting that to go up after they get a few orders in.
I already have a T.Flight X which I was going use for a bit while I considered the X-55, but once I saw this price, I bit

how do you know they are going to stock it?
x-55 set up ?
Hello, I just got my x-55 (birthday present- thank you family). It is a bit daunting so many buttons.
I am premium beta so there is no predefined set up for it. Will there be a predefined set up in the Beta when it is released tomorrow (with luck)? Or should I try to get it working in the alpha 1.1 that I have now?
Is there an easy setup posted somewhere?

I spoke to them on the Web Chat a few weeks ago and they are awaiting stock dates from their supplier.
That and they carry other stock from Saitek so I would expect them to get the x55 in.
There is already preset for X55 in A4.
I am using these controls, given that I have TrackIR and Rudder pedals:

That's good to hear, as I am looking at the X-55 box sitting on my desk at work.
It was delivered this morning.
Bring on Friday!

I have edited my previous post to include my controls setup.
Thanks.
I'll check out the default setup first and make adjustments to my liking.
I do not have the rudder pedals so I will use one of the hats to lateral thrust.
I just can't wait to get home plug this thing in and test it out.
Hope everything works on it.

Anyone had issues where the switches on the throttle may activate themselves?
Noticed in Alpha 1.1 when just plugged in that it sometimes turns on silent running our switches to reverse and also have similar things happen in Strike Suit Zero where it switches perspective by itself.
Just wondering if this is a hardware issue or possibly just drivers? Haven't seen it muck around in the DCS flight sim yet which is fully supported so wondering if it's drivers etc.
