MikeNellis Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Help! Just installed a new Video card. Fired up FSX-SE. Great resolution and framerate. Saitek X-45 joystick acted funny like it needed to be recalibrated. Needed full right rudder to taxi straight in VRS Superbug. All other axis had similar anomalies. Unchecked "enable" in FSX control. Checked to see if axis were assigned. They were not which is how I normally set up the X-45 with FSUIPC4. Tried to calibrate in FSUIPC4. One side of each axis had normal values, but the other side had bogus values (ie. -16384 which would be normal and 5000). Well maybe I need to redo each axis. The only axis recognized was throttle and it wasn't right. Tried reassigning axis in FSX (default). No change. Tried same procedure on FSX default aircraft. No change. Tried changing to another USB portfor joystick. No change. Other than the new video card, with HDMI vs. VGA previously, the only other change was the USB port. I lost the 2 front USB ports when the card was inserted. The X-45 was persnickedy about wanting one particular USB port and acted funny when I plugged it in elsewhere. I'm confused and don't know what to do next.

MikeNellis Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Problem solved! Searched for "game controller". It sent me to Control Panel Game Controllers which said it was working fine. Selected "Advanced". Then "Calibrate". Calibrated the good old fashion way and Voila. Joystick works like a champ. I seem to remember someone, a while back, saying that you should do a device recalibration when you switch USB ports. They were right. Case closed.
