If Microsoft wants to sell Flight Simulator software then their OS department needs to ensure that the hardware/controllers can function within the software environment. There are two parts that trouble me: a) Windows disengaged my third-party firewall and enabled its own firewall, and b) the X52 has been working on Windows for months on the same USB port (then it started needing restarts and driver re-installs, no nothing). Thankfully that card works fine in my new 10700k build running Win10 Pro, using the latest logitech supplied X52 Pro drivers. I ended up buying a pci-e adapter card which sports a USB EHCI chipset years ago, which solved that incompatibility problem. BUT.years ago I found that its USB chipset, at least in the one I own, is incompatible with USB XHCI.period! Even though XHCI "supports" USB 2.0, plugging my X52 into such a XHCI port always hung my computer. Just finished a MSFS flight around Kenai Fjords in Alaska and everything about my 'stick worked perfectly. Highlight the X52 (and keep the for now) In the Search by name block, type in axis. (Only the LED's on the stick were on, and the display next to the trust lever was dark but on)Īnd after clicking 'next', nothing happens. I can terminate the process but then its impossible to restart the system by software.Īfter deleting all Saitek files in programs, temp, drivers and cleaning the registry and hardware manager, I tried again and again with different USB (2.0!!) ports at the mainboard but everytime it's the same sh**.No problems here with my 2006 vintage Saitek X52 Pro in Windows 10. Mad Catz Saitek X52 Pro Flight Controller Driver/Utility 7.0.47.



If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. Go to Control Panel > Game Controllers and select the Properties for your X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S. Features illuminated buttons & LCD display, dual spring centering mechanism, & more. After the installer told me to connect it, I do so. This package contains the files needed for installing the Mad Catz Saitek X52 Pro Flight Controller Driver. Shop X52 Professional HOTAS Joystick for space & flight sim games. I've downloaded the driver from saitek, and started it with a disconnected X52.

So I hope anyone out there had the same problem and found a way to fix it: The guy from MadCatz support said, because the X52 works on my old system, they can't help me. I used this stick on my old rig, and after some research I finally found a way to install this weird software successful, but all those hints didn't work on my new rig. I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but I tried a lot to install my Saitek X52 Pro again, but without success
