Direct Input - Saitek X52 Pro throttle no input

Post by chaylella »

Hi, using the Saitek X52 Pro in Direct Input mode, the throttle axis has no input in the simulator. It works fine in Raw Input mode. Logitech's software detects the axis so I don't know why it's not being read in the simulator.

@ chaylella ,

Just to mention that is an older version?

Note:
I have Saitek X52 but I use FSUIPC to assign and calibrate all axes.

Woops, you’re right. I have inadvertently been with HF2 all this time. I’ll try updating to HF3 and see what happens. Thanks for pointing it out.

Alright, I updated to HF3 using the methods shown here https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopi ... 2&t=120861. I updated only the client (I also uninstalled the SDK and installed the HF3 version for reasons unrelated to my issue here). I kept the original P3D.cfg file and the shaders.cfg file.

The throttle axis still doesn't move in Direct Input, only Raw Input, despite updating to HF3

What were you using before the X52?

Note:
I have never downloaded / used the Logitech software.
