PLAY IT SAFE!
Whether you’re cruising the
skies in a jetliner, or heading for
the finish line in
an exciting race,
remember that
it’s important to
be aware of how
you’re sitting and how you’re
holding the stick! Try not to stay
in the same position for too long,
and be sure to take breaks now
and then. Be smart—don’t take
a chance on straining your
wrists, hands, or fingers!
a. My computer is not recognizing the ST200 as an
active controller. What’s wrong?
• Check the cable connections. Unplug the joystick
from the computer’s USB port, and then plug it
back in, making certain that the connection is
snug.
• Remove other gaming devices by going to Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Game Controllers.
Highlight any existing controller, and click on
Remove.
• Perhaps the USB driver hasn’t been installed
properly. Try removing the stick and running
through the installation again.
b. The buttons don’t seem to be reacting correctly!
Why?
• Check your Game Controller Setup, as described
in Section 2. Make sure that you have selected
the 3 axis 4 button joystick option.
c. The throttle isn’t responding as it should.
• Try reinstalling the stick, carefully following the directions in Section 2.
d. Can I have another controller connected at the same time?
• To avoid potential problems and conflicts, we recommend that you remove any
existing controllers before installing the ST200. Do this by going to Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Game Controllers. Then, highlight any existing
controller, and click on Remove.
e. I installed the Saitek ST200 and loaded my game, but the game instructions say
I have to calibrate it again. Why?
• Most current games make use of the Windows
®
game controller and calibration
information. Some games, however, may require you to define the joystick and
calibrate it within the program. In these cases, refer to your game manual.
