Hardware Joystick configuration Saitek X55

[ss1241]

I have Saitek joysticks. A stick and a throttle. Is it possible that both will work? Right now only one will work. they are on separate usb not tied together before the connection.

Not familiar with the X55, I have an X52, which has throttle and stick connected. It would seem strange that the X55 cannot be hobbled together.

Anyways, Orbiter doesn't have multi-stick support... by default. There is an add-on that might work, however.

Do they configure ok for Windows itself?

Also, joytokey might help for setting up the sticks. http://joytokey.net/en/

I have an old Cyborg 3D stick which doesn't have any configuration software that works on Windows 7 or above, joytokey lets me define the buttons how I want.

Like I said, it might help.

I tried the add-in, but no joy. The X-52 are tied together, but the X-55 is the next generation. The throttle has two throttle levers. I use the joysticks in Windows 7 and flight sim and works great. When you calibrate in Windows you have to select each separate to calibrate.

Saitek X-55 HOTAS

Finally figured it out. Mad Katz has a new profile editor out that you can map the program. Once the new driver and software was installed, along with the fly by wire, you can get two the two separate X-55 HOTAS to work. But you have to install the Mad Katz and the fly by wire add ons/plugins.

Hi ss1241,

what do you mean by 'Mad Katz has a new profile editor out that you can map the program', and 'But you have to install the Mad Katz add ons/plugins'?
Can you provide a link where I can find this add on/plugin or profile?

I am using a Saitak X-56 and I have a similar problem to use with Orbiter.

Thank you for your support.
