Saitek now use the auto-update service from MS to distribute their drivers. It's a better method than they had before, though. Which was to not even bother announcing the release.Originally Posted by Zak33
except that MS don't distribute the SST software too & when you update the drivers you need to update the SST too or your profiles won't load.Originally Posted by jeNK^
Also Saitek usually have newer drivers available than via MS WHQL - best place to keep up to date is via www.saitekforum.com..
I do.. I'm registered as Jestar on those fora.
Saitek's distribution of drivers is very poor, no announcements made on main website, and even the links themselves on the site take a few weeks/months to be updated after release.
Even the driver packages themselves are very poorly made.. Having the install package force a reboot, without any warning or even choice, is shocking practice.
The uninstalls.. don't even get me started..
I've never had it do that & I've got something like 6 Saitek controllers.Originally Posted by jeNK^
Lucky you.. I lost about an hours worth of web work when it suddenly rebooted.
Saitek did apologise for it though, after I gave them an earbashing. Apparently it was part of the uninstall process for the old drivers.. upon further inspection into the package, the macro automatically selects "Yes" when the the uninstall macro asks if it's ok to reboot..
Within a month, Saitek released 'new' drivers, with which the only difference was a new package which doesn't have the auto-reboot 'feature.'
I've read the thread.
Don't know about the X-52 (not having 1 myself) but there are changes in the driver package for other devices (e.g. X-45 introducing a dead-zone setup).
Ive got the cyborg evo wireless and Its a quality stick. Allthough it used to go off on its own sometimes, but this was cured by moving the usb dongle from the rear to the front usb port.
CoolerMaster ftw!!!
Get the evo. X52 dosn't make things better. Prefer using the keyboard

If you have tried it, it would have been Clingy's and was probably at the marlins mini-LAN round his.
However a quick dabble is insufficient testing imo It does require "getting used to" but now that I have, I wouldn't turn back to using keyboard, stick AND throttle again.. much easier with just two areas of control. Throttle in left, Stick in right (and pedals if you have them like Clingy does) and the billions of buttons, switches and rotaries on the two, not having to keep moving left hand from throttle to keyboard all the time is bliss.
Another supposition! Know-it-all-git .Originally Posted by jeNK^
