Support for Saitek X52 Flight System?

Fell in love, bought it, splooged on the box, installed the software, spent plenty of time setting up the buttons and such...

Found out Allegiance doesn't support it.

Tried PGP to interpret the joystick movements as a Mouse Spring effect, but it wouldn't quite work.

So, my question is, is there there a snowball's chance allegiance will be able to support this joystick in the near future? If not, it goes back to the shop and I buy a large bag of oregano with the money.

I believe that Imago was working on that for R6. I believe he had some success, but I don't know what the current status is.

Imago stopped working on R6 completely.

R6 will never be released.

You wasted your money if you bought that stick to play Allegiance.

FYI, that stick used to work on the previous version of allegiance, the R5 release screwed you and many others over and our "Admins" are going to make sure it stays that way.

What an unfortunate situation. Oh well, looks like oregano it is!

I'm pretty sure there was a work around found for that, but perhaps not? You might check the dev forum list of bugs and such.

Just to be clear here, this does not mean I am responsible for your stick not working in R5.

R5 could have been compiled using the older DirectInput API with a simple define. (dogbones)

You guys need to learn to search.

There IS a work around for Saitek for R5:

Look at Wanderer's post on that page and my comments later on.

So, Spunk, its a script? I might need my hand held for that.
