Since this is my first WT, I'm enjoying the online bantor as we pass the time between origin and destination. Ironically, it's similar to the
real life flying I do with other pilots in the C208 and ATR. We pass the time by chatting about a multitude of subjects...beer, women,
relationships,politics,etc,etc, but not necessarily in that order
I mean, what else are you going to do except stare at the windscreen for a
couple of hours?
@ Dutch: Saitek sent me a master copy of the rudder pedal drivers and SST software. Got the CD yesterday and thought that the
drivers were going to actually install, but after it removed the previous Saitek installation, my pc rebooted without warning. I can only
install the X52 drivers and SST software with the CD that came with the controller. From there, I cannot install the drivers and SST
software for the rudder pedals. Even after going through the methodical process of uninstalling the software, deleting all files associated
with Saitek deleting OEM files, and removing Saitek entries from the registry, I cannot install the newer X52 drivers. I think the
downloaded drivers from the website were corrupt because it still indicates that there is a previous Saitek installation....even after
cleaning my pc of Saitek. Yet, there could be some Saitek remnants remaining on my hard drive that I am unable to locate. Saitek is
suppose to be calling me this evening so that we can start from ground zero and go through this process again. I have never in my life
experienced this level of frustration with ANY software installation.
