Joystick/Throttle/Pedals not recognized

[dnr]

Gents, to save some frustrations I offer the following advice. After the 14821 and 15950 patches, CoD play was normal so long as I activated through Steam within 24 hrs each day. After leaving CoD for a few days and coming back to restart, XPro Joystick, throttle, rudder peddles and Cyborg keyboard lost functionality. This past week had no throttle, I key would not start engine, O key would not open canopy yet I had M key, lean forward, aileron, elevator, rudder and flap controls working. Tried rebooting numerous times, downloaded new drivers for AMD 6870 Cross-fire GPUs and trying to re-set keys/axis settings. Only when I unplugged all controllers, added the original keyboard and restarted the system then CoD did I regain functionality. I shut the system down, hooked up all my Saitek controllers, restarted the system and opened CoD via Steam and then CoD finally recognize all the controller settings. All is fine now after a week of frustration.

My system: CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2063LQ Phenom II x6 1090T Dual AMD Radeon HD 6870 GPUs using Cross-fire and Win 7 64 bit OS. Controllers are Saitek X52 Pro, Saitek Rudders and Saitek Cyborg keyboard and headset. System works great, fast, crystal clear on a 60 inch Sharp Quattron.

Thanks for the patch, new sounds are awesome. First time I fired up the Spit engine and opened her up on takeoff and later when I cracked the canopy on a landing approach I was very impressed with the sound quality. Gun sounds still need work. Just take that new sound and multiply by eight. Been in the Army for 30 plus years and I know the sound of multiple machine guns versus one gun firing. Great work look forward to the next installment.
