Saitek st290 PRO

Judge,... I had to Fix the "ONE" Fatal Flaw with this Stick...!!! The 3,2,4, Buttons have No TACTILE FEEL To Them, and you HIT TWO at a time "alot"... "NOT GOOD"...!!! I fixed the Problem Real Nice... (see the Screenie below) ... I took a Small Bead, and ground it in half, and stuck it on with "Two Sided Mounting Tape"... This holds your Thumb above the 3,4, buttons, and gives #2 good Feel without having to look for it... It works "Like A Champ"...




NOTE: To the Pilot L00KING for the Profiler Program... You go to Saitek.com and Download it... The files to L00K for are listed in one my UPPER Posts... You do not need the Profile Program for Basic Function of the Stick... After installing the Profiler Program... Right Click the Stick Icon in the "Task Bar"... You will see Profile Editor...

NOTE: I'm going to Try and Make some Outrageous Profiles for BA... With Saitek's Outrageous Profiling Program...!!! In the "Profile Editor" HELP you see "Advance Commands"... Look at what you could Make...!!!...

Just like in the Macro Recorder, the numbers underneath the keystrokes represent the time in seconds from when you pressed the first key in the sequence; in the Advanced Editor you can adjust these timings. Simply point the mouse cursor at the time you wish to adjust and you will notice that the cursor changes to a clock with two arrows either side of it. Now click and hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse right to increase the time or left to decrease. Once you are happy with the timing just let go of the mouse button and the new timing will be saved.
Therefore with the Advanced Editor you could set, for example, a command that launches a missile when you press the button. It might then switch to a camera view of the missile and then 4.5 seconds later switch to a camera view of the enemy. When you let go of the button it could switch back to your cockpit view.

Ok, change that. I have teh pitch set, but can't figure out the slider function for the turn control.

Pilot smpreston,... You might try this...!!! Go adjust your Stick Dead Zone..."wider as seen in above Posts... Then Twist Your Stick Full Left or Right... hold it there... and now Double Click "Turn Command" in the BA Control Panel and see if it Picks it up...!!! Did you Program the Throttle First to release the "Slider Commands"...??? When you get Your Stick MAPPED... Come back and tell the Other Pilot's Your Trick to Get Your Map... Like I said in upper Posts... It can be Tuff to get The Map... But it will MAP... You Just have to be Persistent... I hope the other Pilot's will jump in here and Help get this Pilot his MAP...

this site has the most recent windows drivers for the saitek st290 pro stick
http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/down/drivers.htm
where it says ST290 Pro - non WHQL'd driver 2K/XP. then if you have windows XP you go start menu / control panel /printers and other hardware/game controllers/ it will give you a little white box click properties and adjust the stick and apply


and to Blud E Guts the stick does work 100% you CAN map the functions to whatever buttons you want. then try it. if you dont like the game fine but for those that do and are willing to try it and play it because they WANT to.....why not let them without your sharing of your opinion in a post that is meant to help people with this game so they CAN PLAY IT. nothing against you..... just let a post thats for helping people and benefiting others be just that without the flaming and blasting that gets nothing done except waste space.

Sorry, bud, your idea of 100% and my idea of 100% are different. Just as your idea of wasted space is different from my idea of wasted space.

BTW, I will continue to post where I want and how I want so long as I don't break any rules of this board.

cant let those of us who like and play the game a post to share information and talk....so be it...to each his/her own.
dont say nobody was polite enough about asking

THANK YOU for this work arround!! Works Great!!

A nice Profile Macro to make for this Stick or any other Stick is to Macro a Button or Trigger to Get Your WingMan to Repair AND Attack all at the same time, to get you Fixed and Get them Bad guys off your Back at the same time... You Know how for a Repair He tells you a Key to Push depending what the Problem IS... Well you "HOOK" "Macro" all them Different Key Press'es "TO The Same Profile Macro Key" That way, you just keep getting "Steady Service From Your WingMan ALL The Time" automaticly while you just think about Shooting Bad Guy's Down... If your all Fixed already, Your WingMan just tells you your "Good To Go" until they see you have a Problem, or need Help...!!!...

Ok i have a Saitek ST290 pro. Drivers installed and everything. I have followed all the tips on this post and still no results. I have been able to program a lot of commands but when i program pitch up and pitch down they don't work. Meaning i pull back on my joystick and it does nothing in game. The z-axis doesnt work in game either everything else does. Any further advice would be awesome.
