This indicates to me that there cannot be a hardware issue, and the issue is either in an ED component that the Joytester 2 software shares, or it's some form of driver issue/software incompatibility I need to resolve.Įdit: I should mention that the bindings are the default Saitek X52 present in game. You'll also see the sensitivity is definitely received by Windows, as the Saitek driver/software shows the correct partial sensitivity as I move the X and Y roughly halfway. Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System, Controller and Joystick Simulator, LCD Display, Illuminated Buttons, 2xUSB, PC - Black/Silver. In the same screenshot you'll see the X and Y (top left) instantly crossing the drawing area. 65535 is the top of an unsigned 16 bit number, and 32767 is the halfway point between it and 0, so it appears to me that there are 3 possible states this application can see my joystick in.Ĭontrarily I tried my rudder and throttle (z rotation on joystick and z axis on thruster) and (as you can see from the below screenshot) I could get fairly concise movements.

With the Saitek X52 Pro being a mid-tier HOTAS system, the vast majority of the ED playerbase Press J to jump to the feed. I've tried out 'Joytester 2' - which appears quite popular - and this shows my X and Y as being 65535, 32767 or 0. Elite: Dangerous and Saitek seem to like eachother.

The driver/Windows software shows that the variance is definitely there and shows partial movements. After some investigation, it appears a slight touch on my joystick for pitch or roll is resulting in the same as me pulling the joystick to full length It's either at 0% or 100% at any time. Got it from a friend who it was working perfectly for, he just wanted the pro model.Īfter installing drivers and setting up, I found it significantly more difficult to control than my previous Thrustmaster T-Flight.
