x55 Rhino with IL2? Not working?

[SturmovikPilot]

Out of left field.
If you have a USB 3.0 port try plugging into that.
I don't have an X55 Rhino yet but do plan on getting one next month.

I recently purchased a ROCAT Kave 5.1 Digital Surround Premium with desktop controller with built in sound card. The sound was very scratchy so I emailed ROCCAT support and they suggested plugging into a USB 3.0 port. Something about the backward compatibility spec enhancing the performance. Followed ROCCAT's suggestion and walla problem solved.

Thanks for replying.

After 4 months of several different problems, I have it fixed and working with the HUD Software. The first problem was using a USB Hub. That was working on/off and very sketchy. It was a powered hub too. About 2 months after I figured that out, they fixed a 'repeating keystroke bug'. I'm think that was affecting me as well. But then about a week ago I figured out a connection between the HUD software/drivers and Teamspeak that caused massive repeating keys in the HUD Tester window. A friend pointed me to a DCS thread about it and it was Teamspeak causing repeating keystrokes. TS has an option to tell it to 'only' watch the keyboard and mouse devices for it's Hotkeys like Mute, Whisper, etc.. That fixed it.

Saitek was no help in over 4 months. They never asked me any questions about hardware or software even though that DCS thread said they had reported the TS bug months ago to their USA Support. After I got it fixed myself I was waiting to see what Saitek Support would recommend I do. They didn't tell me what to do,.. but after about a week, they just pointed me to that DCS thread that I had found from a friend. I would think they would have a current possible bug/issues database for all their devices at their Support Desk to help customers. But apparently they just use google.

Hey Snacko, I see you have had the same questions regarding the throttle buttons/sliders as I do. "The SLD two position slider does NOT LIGHT ANY BUTTONS at all in the game controller settings."

I just opened up my box today and was testing out all of the buttons w/in the game controller window and couldn't get the 2 position slider and mouse nipple to light up any of the buttons???? Do you know why?

[Snacko]

They call the SLD a two position slider, but it's not a typical slider like an axis, and it only has 1 position. I don't see a light in the control panel light up either, but it works in the HUD software. Some of those lights were confusing to me to figure out, but I finally did figure them all out. But at the moment I cannot remember.. It was confusing when I did figure it out... I think it was when I actually called their support techs on the phone that we figured out the remaining buttons lights.

[NorCal]

Yeah, the manual only lists the slider but doesn't say anything about what it's function is?

[Snacko]

BTW, I was just playing with that 'slider' and using an Advanced command you can program a keystroke when it is pressed and also when it is released. I just put the flaps up/dn commands in there and that makes it a 2 position slider. Kind of a weird way to do it, but when I slide it forward it sends the F key, and when I slide it back it sends the V key.

[NorCal]

That's 1 possible use for the switch. Not a problem when usin for WWII planes ie "quick & dirty", but for bigger planes I like to use a "variable/multiposition" switch/rotator knob for the flaps to drop them gradually.

I sent "tech support" a question on what this switch would be use for & why it isn't being recognized in the windows 7 "properties test screen" . I'll let you know what I find out.

[Snacko]

Glad you got it fixed. Now where are my roses!!

That really sucks doesn't it!! Saitek KNOWS about this bug, but they won't suggest this fix if you post or email them. They don't have a clue...
