Title: Saitek X52 Joystick and SCP problem
Post by: Tzampa on July 26, 2006, 11:42:13 am

Hi everyone !  :)

I'm the proud owner of a Saitek X52 joystick, and I used to play FreeSpace 2 *classic* with it.

Today, wanting to play a *better* Freespace 2, I dl and install SCP (build 367). I configure my X52 in the laucher (v5.3) and launch the game...but the joystick doesn't work. It's just like I've unpluged it. But when I launch another game, or just use the Win XP Calibration app, everything is ok... :sigh:

I got only the X52 on my system, no other gamepad or adaptator.

Thanks for helping me  :(

Try the Force options on the audio/joystick tab.

by some quirk your stick might not be set as the perfered device in the joystick control panel, that might throw it off.
