Hi there, realize this is an old thread, but I'm having some trouble getting this to work with my Saitek. When I load the profile, I'm not seeing anything mapped. Similarly, when I go to test profile, I'm not seeing any of the mappings work in the test box. Just wondering if anyone else had these types of issues.

I've figured out how to map most of this myself, the one thing I'm struggling with is the twist axis. I've only played the Collector's Edition with a mouse, so I'm not sure how twisting worked in the 98 edition.

I'm not getting anything out of it. But here's what you can do. (I'm currently starting with the 1993 release of X-Wing.) AND I figured out how to get the rudder to work.The alternate hotkeys for rolls are + OR +. That's the key combination you need for each twist of the joystick.

Now, in the Saitek software, you'll see 'Rudder'. Twisting the joystick will bring you to this as well. While hovering over the 'Rudder' section, you'll see a gray box with an arrow in it. Click this to reveal a menu. Choose 'Directional Axis'.

Now you should see 'Rudder +' and 'Rudder -' options; each will take a set of key commands. Here, you'll put in what you need to get the rudders working for Rolling your craft. JouBqa: How do you get this to work? I have the profile selected but in-game only the fire button works.

The other dont do anything. Yeah, I'm having problems with this.

I'll try to find out what's going on and I'll post my findings and my profile.Incidentally, when I first posted, I was using an X52. This profile SauerBaum posted is NOT compatible with the X52. But that's cool.

Once we figure out how to get this working, it'll be easy for X52 users to make their own. For Christmas, I got an X52 Pro, which I'll be using here on out.I'll warrant the solution for the X52 Pro is the same as the X52. SUCCESS!Ok, many of my problems were driver related.

Saitek/Madcatz doesn't know how to test their crap or update it. I also believe that the profile format changes from various versions of the software. I think that's why other people's profiles didn't work for me.So, I mapped the Roll functionality to my X52 Pro's 'twist'. Here's my profile file:The twist is the only thing I've done so far.

Now, it doesn't behave like normal roll functionality on modern games - there's a huge lag, and the rolling isn't quick. It's quite unresponsive, but if you hold the twist - it'll work and you'll be able to roll while moving the joystick around as well. This is just THE GAME and not the joystick.

Using the keys as mentioned above on the keyboard acts exactly the same way. Remember to HOLD them down for a LONG TIME.On the twist menu, select 'BANDS'. Right-click on the top twist and select 'New Advanced Command'. Here, you can put your keystrokes in and delete the ones you don't need. Remember to right-click on that text area and select 'Quantize Time'. Set it to Zero and go. This makes both key presses occur at the same moment in time instead of one after another.

If you have trouble, you can look up X52 programming on Youtube.To be honest, you might want to bind the roll functionality to a couple of buttons - perhaps the hat on the throttle. I'm thinking of trying that out myself.I'll also leave this little tidbit here: Other than the fact that Saitek's drivers are crap, they don't play well AT ALL with xHCI USB 3 support. So I had to disable this in my BIOS. THEN I had problems getting the driver install to even RUN properly, but that's a story for another time.

However, the files I installed with were:SaitekX52ProFlightController70471x64Drivers.exeandSaitekX52ProFlightController70471x64Software.exewhich can be had on this page - by selecting your product, OS and platform.Good Hunting!
