I have the Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant and one of the "Pins" broke off of the connector... I thought..."Simple" Fix...??? I re-wired a PS2 6 pin connector Cable as the wire colors were the same, but after trying it out, it doesn't`t seem to work properly... Does anyone one know the Wiring Diagram for this, do a couple of these wires "Go Together"...??? It does "Light" up but the throttle control and everything doesn't`t work as such etc. I tried writing to Mad Catz, but evertime (Twice) I get close to the end of the letter explaining what is wrong, it seems I Lose the connection to their site...and I get an error message saying internet explorer has stopped working...????? Thankyou in advance for any info you may have on re-wiring this connector... oldave...

I hope this is the correct forum for Hardware Problems... If not please direct me as to where I should post this... * I have had the Saitek Cessna Trim Wheel for over a year now and have "Never" been able to get it to work at all in FSX...!!! I have "Calibrated" and "Re-Calibrated" and unchecked any other settings that would affect the trim wheel in the FSX settings options...??? I asked on a post on another site, but nothing seemed to work...I can`t remember what was suggested, but I guarantee I tried every suggestion given...!!! I have had the trim wheel put away in a drawer because it ticks me right off when I see a $65 part of my Saitek Flight Sim Set-Up totally useless...!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thankyou... oldave...

I am having trouble with my Saitek Rudder Pedals and it was suggested to me that I download FSUIPC which I really don`t know about, but will read the "Read Me" files once I extract it... My question is: Where do I install these files to...In the FSX file or is this something that runs separate for me to attempt to "Program" my Saitek Rudder Pedals, as I`ve tried everything to use them to no avail... I have set them up repeatedly and calibrated them each time but they just don`t seem to work, other thatveering one way or the other down the runway on take off or if you can manage to get into the air, the Turn Coordinator Bubble wanders all over the place without any rudder or aileron input... *Cessna 172* pretty much all I fly other that a couple of twin engines... Thanks for any help in giving me the answer to where to put this FSUIPC...!!! Or any help or suggestions...!!!

Saitek Rudder Pedals...Not Working Properly
oldave1 replied to oldave1's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
I don`t know what FSUIPC is...??? Is this an setting option with FSX...??? Yes I have checked and rechecked all the settings and control axis and have calibrated both the Yoke/Trottle and the Rudder Pedals... I am going to google this "FSUIPC" to see what it`s about... Thanks again guys... oldave... -
Saitek Rudder Pedals...Not Working Properly
oldave1 replied to oldave1's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
oldave here again... My friend brought over his CH Rudder Pedals for me test out... Well...the same thing happened again "No Rudder " control after calibrating them, the aircraft just wants to veer left or right and is all over the runway when trying to take off... When you do manage to take off...*Very Difficult* the turn coordinator bubble wanders all over the place from left to right without any input at all, the aircraft (Cessna) is really uncontrollable...??? I thought perhaps it was my Saitek Rudder Pedals, but that little experiment proves it`s not the Saitek pedals after all...!!! * I was almost hoping it was that straight forward and I could get another set or get them repaired * I even went as far as Uninstalling FSX "Gold" with the Expansion Pack, and re-installing my older copy of FSX "Deluxe" without the expansion pack, thinking perhaps there was some "Glitch" with my newer copy of FSX "Gold" with the Expansion Pack...??? After reinstalling FSX Deluxe I booted it up and "Damn" the exact same problem with it to...!!! I just have no idea as to what to try next...I`m at a total loss of any more ideas...??? It flys fine with the "Auto Rudder" clicked on in the settings options... Thanks for your suggestions (Which I tried each one meticulously)... Any other thoughts or comments would be certainly appreciated... oldave... -
Saitek Rudder Pedals...Not Working Properly
oldave1 replied to oldave1's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Hi Guys... No luck as yet, I have calibrated them using Saitek`s Set-Up Wizard which Looked Fine to me as far as the axises goes *Proper left toe right toe operation and right and left rudder operation... But trying to calibrate them once in FSX it just does not seem right, because the Right Toe & Left Toe Brakes axises look suspect ,There is a set up box showing the right toe and left toe, but when you test them, the cursor for the left toe goes from the far left to the far right *Seems right perhaps*, then when you test the right toe the cursor moves from the top left to the bottom left of the box * I would have thought this time the cursor would move from the far right to the far left* When testing the right rudder and left rudder it starts off in the middle at 50% and moves left and right the same amount, but when right rudder is pressed it goes from 50% to 100% at the far right... It seems the rudder is stuck at 50% `Left Rudder`... The Yoke is no longer turn when the rudder pedals are activated When I try to take off, the aircraft (Cessna) veers down the runway to the left each time out of control, and if I do manage to get it into the air the turn coordinator Bubble is all over the place without any rudder or aileron input at all...It wants to fly left and out of control... I have re-calibrated everything Yoke & Pedals about a half dozen times and even re-installed FSX Gold in case there was some sort of Glitch with the FSX Install... I have a friend that has a set of CH Rudder Pedals and he is going to bring them over for me to try next week, to see if they work properly... Thanks again for your suggestions and help... oldave... -
I just got a set of Saitek Rudder Pedals (Least expensive model) and they seemed to work fine for a couple of flights and then started working like my Saitek Yoke control instead of Rudders...??? When I taxi (Cessnas` etc.) they are all over the place without any "Input"... If I`m at the runway and ready to take off, I power up and the aircraft starts to veer left down the runway everytime and gets completely out of control..which makes Take-Off nearly imposible... When I press the rudder pedals you can see the "Yoke" in the cockpit moving...??? I have reloaded the Saitek CD software and it`s still totally unflyable...??? Any Ideas as to what or how I can resolve this problem...??? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I`m a relative Newbie to this FSX with Saitek Controls... Thanks in advance... oldave...

FSX Goes to black screen when exiting...?

I previously had FSX "Deluxe" installed and it ran perfectly for over 2 years, and no problems when prompted to exit FSX, It would return to my "Desktop" without any problems...??? I got the Gold Edition because of the added features I had heard about on one of the forums... I do notice that with this "Gold" Edition I see a "P51" and a different looking helicopter in the aircraft options... If my copy of FSX "Deluxe" was working fine should I delete the "Gold" Edition and reload the FSX "Deluxe" again and then reload the "Expansion Pack" after...??? Are these extra missions and aircraft on the Expansion Pack...??? I`m really not sure what this Expansion Pack is or what it does...??? Yes I`m pretty much a newbie to these types of things...*And Old* Hence the name: oldave... Thanks again for any help or suggestions with this... oldave... -
I have just installed FSX Gold with the Expansion Pack... Everything seems to be working fine, but when prompted with the dialog box "Are you sure you want to exit FSX" I click on yes and the screen goes just black and I have to "Ctrl--Alt--Delete to "Log Off" or restart my computer...??? Any Ideas as to what my problem might be and how to resolve this...??? Thanks for any info or help... oldave...
