3. INSTALLATION STEPS (FOR GAME PORT CONNECTION)
After connecting the ST220 to your computer’s game port, as described under
Selecting
the Right Connector,
you’ll need to install the drivers and calibrate the unit.
Important: When installing the drivers, you’ll notice that the on-screen name
appears as ST200 instead of ST220. Why? Because the Saitek ST200 and ST220
Control Sticks share the same drivers. Don’t worry—simply follow the steps as listed
below, and your installation will be perfect!
a. With your computer switched on and all programs closed down, insert the floppy disk
that came with this product into your PC. Click on Start on the Windows® taskbar,
and then select Run. In the box that appears, type A:\setup.exe and click on OK.
b. When the Saitek ST200 Setup box appears, click on Install.
c. When the installation is complete, click on Finish. This will automatically open the
Game Controllers dialog box, so that you can calibrate the stick.
d. In Game Controllers, your Saitek ST220 will appear as Saitek ST200 Joystick.
If
any previously loaded controllers appear in the Game Controllers window, they
should be removed. To remove an existing device, highlight the controller by clicking
on it, and then click on Remove. Click on Yes to confirm.
e. Next, select Properties and then Calibrate, under the Settings tab, and follow the
on-screen instructions.
Note that the throttle is used to calibrate axis 3.
When the
calibration procedure is complete, click on Finish.
f. Now, click on Test to check out your calibration.
The joystick cursor should move in
all directions, and the button indicators should turn on when the buttons and trigger
are pressed. When the throttle is pushed all the way forward and pulled back again,
the axis 3 indicator in the center should go up and down.

4. HAVE QUESTIONS? HERE’S SOME HELP!
a. My computer is not recognizing the ST220 as an active controller. What’s
wrong?
•Check the cable connections. Unplug the joystick from the computer ’s USB or
game port, and then plug it back in, making sure that the connection is snug.
•Remove any other gaming devices by clicking on Start > Settings > Control Panel
> Game Controllers. Then, highlight any existing controller, and click on Remove.
•Perhaps the device driver hasn’t been installed properly. Try removing the stick and
running through the installation again.
b.The throttle isn’t responding as it should.
