After almost four years and armed with a different HOTAS and config file, I can still crash'n'burn with the same style and panache as I always could.

... now who the hell is responsible for upping the manual to 716 pages? I want a word with whoever it is ..... cant remember the old stuff, I have no chance with the new lot.

Kind regards

Shodan, late of the 185th

Hi Homer

1) I was originally in Blue before Grey was even thought of.

2) Its Walsall, not Dudley

Apart from that, great to hear from you Homer

Kind regards

I think its fairer to say I am trying to learn how to use all the stuff in the cockpit again. I am really so rusty that it would be unfair to inflict myself on any of you just yet.

If I can get used to this damned Seitek I may well attempt something online soon.

Kind regards

Shodan (lamenting the demise of his beloved Thrustmaster HOTAS)

PS HI Ballistic, good to see you are still around.

Look here
http://saitekhelp.simhq.com/index.htm
This site may help you.

Maybe you will install using 2.0d4 so that you can configure
using the "HazardScript programming utility".

I have a problem with installing my SaitekX45 .... If either have advice to help me reinstall and get my Saitek working I would be pleased to hear.

Would like a reply ... if only to say Sorry unable.

Shodan,
I wouldn't worry too much about this if I were you, I'm sure it'll all come back to you very quickly. My HOTAS has been rather unreliable lately so I have spent most of my time in a TE trying to remember keyboard keys, they're much more reliable!

Hi Hog

I am using a Saitek X36F digital joystick with an X35T throttle. Had to install drivers from Saiteks site to get it to work with Win XP though. I have a config file I found on a site but its not really what I am looking for so am working on modifying it.

Sorry I cant be more help.

Regards

Shodan
