Just got my new rig (4.4gig overclocked Haswell 4770k cpu/Nivida GTX 780) and have done the "Nick Guide" clean install. Has generally gone quickly and well but still a lot of payware a/c (tracking down lost keys/proof of purchase stuff) and home made scenery I managed to salvage before my old pc died to re-install.
What I wasn't expecting was that my X-52 (non pro) has gone really wonky. It is hard to describe but either the axis control - rudder, aileron and particularly pitch - are way too sensitive making flying an unrealistically wobbly and therefore un-fun experience while at the same time there seem to be lags in inputs, e.g. the throttle, as well as inability to get full power from the throttle and also the elevator pitch wheel. On my old rig the pitch wheel sometimes would have an annoying pitch down bias (sometimes preventing the AP Alt from holding altitude) until I vigorously "exercised" it, then all would be fine and you could trim out many planes such that they would fly level, etc hands off. Not remotely possible now.
I suspect this is a software/conflict/calibration issue rather than a mechanical wear or wiring fault problem. Have calibrate it dozens of times but no better. Have tried it in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I have only the basic Saitek drivers/software from the original CD. Their SST software is not for me. Is there any issue with Windows 7 or 64 bit systems that could be relevant?
Thanks for any thoughts.
