X3: TC - Joystick, throttle and SETA issues.

[RimBlock]

XHi,

I have finally got X3 Terran Conflict and dug out my Saitek X36F joystick adn X35T throttle.

Windows 7 accepted them and installed the drivers without an issue and I can remap the keyboard comands in X3 to the settings on the various buttons I like but I have a couple of problems.

SETA just turns off as soon as it is tuned on.
Auto pilot only stays on if I am in the sector map screen
Auto Dock only stays on if I hold the shift key after doing the shift+D to turn it on else it turns straight off.

I imagine the issue is because the joystick is sending continual signals for something. How to fix this or work around it ?

No SETA in X3 is a bit of a show stopper.

Cheers
RB

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes I am guessing the same.

I have just calibrated both in Win 7 but no luck sorting out the issue.

I will see if I can turn down the sensitivity within X3.

I used to use the Saitek software to manage the key mappings but they don't have a 64bit version and I am not sure the 32bit version will work in Win 7

Cheers
