SurClaro Flight Simulator Resources

I have a Saitek x52, and when i plug it in, or at the beginning of a flight, my stick's lights go off, and the green power light does too. At the same time, my throttle is fully operational. When I giggle the connection between the stick - joystick wire and the joystick base, the power light goes back on, and the stick becomes operational again. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens in the middle of a flight. Sad

How can I make the connection better?

as gently as possible, open the bottom casings of BOTH your flight stick and your throttle control. GENTLY trace where the wires are heading and yet again, gently soldier them back in place.

OR depending on how long you have had your Saitek x52, call Saitek and see what they can do about it, being that it is a "manufacturer's defect".
