Trout Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think I may need a new joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted March 10, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yes you can add another Joystick no problem. Where it gets a bit tricky is when you want to alter the response curves, because IL2 will likely still consider the X45 stick to be the primary controller. FoolTrottel (IIRC) created a utility to alter the curves on additional controllers.. It was indeed Mr FT and here is a link to IL2 Sticks: http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=332 Have you considered replacing the switch? Saitek may even send you one... alternatively try posting on the Saitek forums and someone may well be able to advise you on the process, and what switch to purchase..

HH_RitterCuda Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't like Saitek I can break them in a month or less at one point I owned two X-45 one to use one in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well I just found a 'mostly' brand new x45 for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 $20 is cheap enough to gamble on. Once you do have it I would go ahead and try to fix the original. You have a good electronics supply place right in town and have nothing to loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I did the same thing with my CH Pedals and X-45; got them at the same time on Ebay, and they're still going strong after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 You can always use the old stick for a button bay (Mr FT knows ALL about this ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 As mentioned. It can be st aside as a button bay and you can add any other stick you like to fly with. I have the X-45 Microsoft FFB Ch pedals combined. I have yet to find a throttle that allows me to do a few things, that the x-45 allows me. I'll be hard pressed to give it up. My x-45 stick axis has been banded to things like drop tanks, tail hook, open canopy, raise seat, all the buttons, are used for Bomb sites or Bail out under the flip switch cover. I use IL2 stick to manage my input curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
