•.Net 2.0 [X]


Updated to DirectX SDK from Windows website.

I am using both the Saitek X52 and an MS Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick. I'm using only the throttle base from the X52, and not its joystick base. It all worked wonderfully before R5/DirectX updates. I even uninstalled the existing X52 drivers/profile editor and installed the latest ones from Saitek.

In the game, the X52 is no longer recognized by Alleg. The throttle doesn't work and none of the buttons or hats on the X52 base do anything. I've even gone into the keymapping screen in Alleg and tried to bind a function to a button on the X52, but there's no recognition or reaction from Alleg. It's like I'm not even hitting any buttons.

Here is my DirectInput log.
