I have a Saitek Cyborg Graphite joystick, and for the last week or so it won't stay calibrated  ::)

It will pull to the left and downwards all on it's own...I can go into the control panel and calibrate it, and all seems well, but by the time I go back into FS it is all off again...any ideas how to fix it  ???

P.S. I have been thinking about going to a flight yoke, and have heard good and bad about them. Any input on those would be greatly appreciated too.

Thanx

Have you checkd for a Microsoft Update for that joystick?

I got one recently for my Saitek Cyborg Evo.  This means instead of calibrating it via the control panel each time I turn on I just move the stick in the game and its done!

Nope hadnt thought about that, but I will see what I can find out  ???

Thanx  ;D

Yeah, I got the EVO also and had the same problem.

I got the update and it has basicaly solved it.
However, you usually still have to move it in all it axis while FS is loaded

Yup, lots easier than using control panel each time though!

On another note I really like my Evo but I just got Pacific Fighters and it doesn't work with this game for me  :(

The throttle doesnt work and its peein me off now.  Only game I have that the joystick doesn't work with.

I have sent Ubisoft some grief hehehe.  Hopefully they will be able to help but I am not holding my breath.

I just got Pacific Fighters the other day also and yes, the JS throttle doesn't work.
Everything else on th JS works however.
At least I now know it a game bug.

BTW, did you install the PF patch yet?
I did and it's well worth it.

Yes I did, but the throttle still dont bloody well work GRRRRrrrrrr.

I didn't really play it much without the patch.  Did a quick flight but was more interested in trying to get throttle working.

Does look nice though with the patch installed.  Just wanna get my throttle working  

BTW, just in case you didn't know, there is a "fixed .dll" (no cd) avalible for Pacific Fighters that works perfectly with the patch.

It just doesn't work with the new, experimental/alternate exe included with the patch.
I found the experimental exe to be very unstable so, I don't use it anyway.

I have uninstalled it now.  Until I get a reply on how to get my joystick working.

[quote]I have uninstalled it now.

I have the same problem - it was fine until MS 'upgraded' FS lol

Anyone have any quick fixes, I'm tired of recallibrating everytime I use the sim...
