New Saitek X45 driver

For you X45 users, Saitek recently released a new joystick driver. It’s reported to have fixed a few crash-related defects—did not have any of these myself—but it seems just as stable, and is necessary to use the new Deadband utility (see below). You can find the new driver at http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/down/sstdown.htm

The new Deadband utility alleviates drift caused by a loose centering string. It really smoothes out my joystick and the rudder lever; my heli no longer drifts around while hands off hovering or hunts for direction during forward flight. Works great. I found the link to the Deadband utility in the Announcements section of the Forum: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=5437

Fly well,
