Saitek X52 Hat Control is out of control

[undacuva1914]

Hi Pete,

I have looked all over the forum to answer this question, however I am still not finding what I need.

I have the following System:

CPU: 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Quad processsor

RAM: 3 GB

Storage: 1 terabyte

Video: eVGA 8800 GTS OC 700MB RAM

OS: Windows Vista Home Preminum

Other:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X (SP 1)

FSUIPC 4.25

Saitek X52 joystick

As soon as I installed FSUIPC, my hat switch on my joystick started going in multiple directions whenever I push the hat switch in any one given direction. I have not done ANY programming to the FSUIPC module, yet this happened immediately after installing the FSUIPC module and restarting (my system) and FSX.

What can I do to get my hat switch back to where it used to be (meaning OBEDIENT :wink: )? I am sure there is a simple solution other than disabling FSUIPC 4.

Since FSUIPC doesn't do anything at all with any switch, your symptom must certainly be due to parameters in your INI file, which could only have got there through something you have done. There is no other way!

Just delete the FSUIPC4.INI file before loading FSX, and FSUIPC4 will revert to all its default settings -- which is to do nothing at all.
