for the love of all holy Science please tell me you still have this.. I have been everywhere looking for this and can't for the life of me find it. I was able to find an older version but I haven't found the corresponding drivers for it (the new ones seem to have the Direct Output not recgonized as if they changed some functions so it doesn't match anymore - this is the same problem that I had with the Spanish fellow that wrote the IL-2 to x52Pro MFD flight data to MFD program... I was able to find the right drivers for that by back tracking the FTP server @ saitek only to find that the program doesn't work for 64 bit which sucks cause I have this powerful MFD and still have yet to use it anywhere except stupid FSX!!!) but regardless I would like the newest version because I'm assuming errors have been fixed. Even if it is 32 bit only I'd still like it because I'm setting up a second 32 bit OS for scenarios just like this. If Daedalus is no longer active here can anyone help me that possible has this saved on their hard drive?

Sorry to say but all I could find was the old version 2.2, not working anymore with current Saitek drivers.

Well Mike it sure would make my day if you could send me the link you have or if it's on your computer maybe we could work out some time to DC it to me or even spoof the extension and e-mail it to me.

With regards to not working with Saitek Direct Output I would imagine that the SaiDirectOutput SDK used with AIRSTRIKEpro v2.2 <= SaiDirectOutout v6.2 - sadly it seems that the at the jump or somewhere in between the transition between SaiDO v6.2 & v6.6 all compatibility has been lost.


Luckily, for all of us who care to experiment or use the few programs that are out there and not supported by the newest driver/software package from Saitek need not worry one bit for transitions one's pc to the lower version is a simple as running through the msi which takes a manner of seconds. No usb removal, no restart, etc. Simply run msi and it overwrites the files in the windows temp folder (used only for install not for day to day use) and starts the older installer and finishes in seconds. I have tested this with such programs as the Spanish fellows IL-2 MFD connection that needed drivers from way back in 2009.


The good ol people at Saitek keep a nice archive on their ftp server with (as far as I can tell) previous versions of SST software and drivers (not to mention profiles and all other goodies). Maybe they are trying to redeem themselves after having 86'ed the forums.


Anyway, this is important to me for one, I'd like to try it because sadly my MFD usage is little to none with the SDK features not having kicked off as much as I think they would have like them too, so any chance to have a solid connection with sim and MFD is a satisfting experience and then there is the second part, I am building a Saitek X52 Pro (as well as x45, x52, x65) fan/support/backup repository to keep it alive througout the decade and next.

As you can see I'm trying to have every single user made MDF program & anything else related. I have quite a large collection of MFD programs as well as profiles and utility helper programs for curve editing on individual games & sims. I have quite a bit of Saitek's FTP backed up as well for the related HOTAS products and have quite a bit of the great SDK & developer notes from the forums backed up too thanks to a nifty script that rebuilds WayBack archives and removes the clutter.


I'd sure appreciate this as I can only find up to v1.6 on my local computer and I could swear I have 2.2 but it's not coming up in searches. Any help would be awesome.

Thanks,
Paul

EDIT: SLIGHT CHANCE THAT ANYONE CARES:

I have found the exact version information to use this utility and will present it in a manner to easily know which version to be at, where to get drivers and how to properly downgrade temporary. This information will cover v2.2 (or maybe v1.5/6/x -> v2.2) as well as v2.3 for that magic day the long lost file of the internet shows its face again. Or till I just attempt to write the app myself. Seems perfect timing to start working on the foundation as the day BoK hits it would be nice to at least have some info on the MFD.

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it. Do you know any other members (people you have known for a while or flown with; IDK maybe friends on a personal level or acquaintances made throughout the years) that use (or at one time had used) the x52 pro? I thought about asking the few members of this thread if they have the 2.3 version by direct PM'ing them (so long as last login isn't > 1 year) and there is one or two more forums sites that this was advertised on I believe.. Lol I really want to get my hands on this.. Like I said, barley any use with the MFD so any program is special.

BUT I don't mean to minimize the contrubution you provided as you took me from v1.6 to v2.2 which I am more than grateful for!
Just seems that v2.3 is a major improvement as there is no manual input (though this is cool and more authentic/realistic) anymore it's all automatically inputted from devicelink connection. Sounds like this is saying that pre v2.3 it was a stand alone app that had nothing to do with IL-2 device link wise (comparing this to a simple cmd prompt program that does the same thing, not connecting to device link etc.)

Anyway blah blah ..

Thanks again! Now I just need to figure out why BAT isn't working!! I swear I always do something horrible wrong as I am always never seeing increase of missions, slight increase of campaigns, qmbpro doesn't detect massive amounts of missions and only sees stock (quick) missions and now the harrier and hornet spawn to empty arena with pre dead plane (as opposed to spawn then crash) kinda like what happened when you didn't have forgotten countries installed (i think) lol.. oh my
