To everyone using the X52, can you please download this program and run it:

 

http://vpilot.metacraft.com/[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ets/Files/JoystickScan.exe

 

This will spit out some information about all the joysticks found on your system, and hopefully help me figure out why vPilot isn't recognizing it.

 

After it runs, press the "Copy To Clipboard" button, and paste the results into a reply here in this thread.

Congratulations for a great piece of software, simple and efficient.

My experience couldn't be better with it.

The new version is now available which fixes the X52 issue. You should be prompted to download the new version when you run vPilot.

The problem is it is seeding the mode switch that is on the joystick side of the set. Haven't been able to figure out how to make it not see the switch, it shows the setting that the mode switch is in, button 25, 26 etc.

I was able to get it to see the keyboard keys and have set mine for the space bar. Haven't tried using it yet.

Hope someone figures out how to make it ignore the mod sw itch.

Joe, I don't understand what you're saying ... can you rephrase?

Joe, I don't understand what you're saying ... can you elaborate and rephrase? Keep in mind I don't have an X52 so I have no idea what switches you're referring to.
