Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

[Mike..]

Got a few questions. I installed this today to see if I'd like it and have a few questions. The rudder pedals are to sensitive i think. By default they swing the rudder left and right..but the also make the yoke move (in sim) causing the plane to bank sometimes uncontrollably. Just putting my feet on them makes them go crazy.

Also, i've pretty much got button where i want them as far as flaps,spoilers,gear,etc. But I can't seem to get the feather prop (I want to use the blue lever) and fuel mixture lean/increase (using the red one) to function at all via the settings tab I used to assign my other keys. I've never owned a yoke before so I don't know what i'm missing as far as finishing my assignments.

Any pointers?

Nevermind. I'll save this for a bigger desk and when I decide to put my triple monitor back up. I did notice the guage system and control panel from Saitek though. Do they work with the X52 flight system? I think I like my stick and throttle on my 52 way better but it would be nice to add the rest of that stuff for my sim experience....

Hey Mike

I have a duel Saitek set up and I am very pleased with how it works. 2 yokes, 2 pedals and a center throttle quad that has an extra set making 3 sets. It all works fine together. I think it has to do with the Saitek SST software that helps it interface with the program. I have had trouble using a Saitek Backlit information Panel in that set up but as far as the control parts they all work fine. Do you have the Saitek SST software installed?

BTW, whats your experience with a tripple monitor setup? Have you noticed any performance issues at all (such as lower FPS)? Can you really achieve a realistic 3D view with all 3 monitors? Thanks for sharing!
Ohh yeah, I got 2 GTX580 Classified Ultra SLI. Haven't seen them at work yet - waiting on CPU and MB...

hi. re the problem with yoke/pedals, have you disabled auto rudder in the settings of FSX?  You need to do this so that FSX allows them to be used separately. I use triple head to go, and have also a 4th monitor for moving map etc. This is used with Tir 5 pro, and works great.  Very little problems with the setup, but there is some stretching noticeable on the extreme edges of the side monitors, but not a problem.  You still need a meaty graphics card though due to the huge resolutions being used. I have a 2gb GTX660ti SOC.
