joystick calibration messed up

Hello all.

 

I reinstalled FS9 after a while of FSX. Well i'm now using a laptop with Vista instead of the old XP box, and my Saitek X45 didn't get the trim to be setup on rotary1. Since i installed the Saitek drivers it only got worse, now FS9 sees the joystick completely off axis even if the windows calibration says everything is fine... :/

 

Anybody already had this and got this fixed?

 

Thank you.

Pretty common problem with the X45. Try this: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=12016

The saitek forum requires and administrator to approve subscriptions (done yesterday evening) can't get in yet.

 

Thanks for the answer in the meanwhile.

Sorry, didn't realize that. Directly from one of their support people:

 

Unplug the controller, click Start>Run, type regedit and click OK. In the Registry Editor browse to the following folders in order:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
MediaProperties
PrivateProperties
DirectInput

And delete the VID_06A3&PID_053C (or VID_06A3&PID_2541) folder. Plug the controller back in, rotate the stick and move the throttle and rudder fully a couple of times and see if that has fixed it.
