Don't forget.. IL2 will see up to 4 controllers.. I use my X-52 stick as a button bay ... With the X-45 it was a little easier because t was all switches and pots.. The HE sensors on the X-52 and the different makeup of the stick make a more challenging task in some respects but in may ways it is a lot easier because the X-52 circuitry is more modular.. With the X-45 had to make my own connectors.. When I originally got the X-45 I really only wanted the throttle. I had this big old stick sitting on my desk and I figured what the heck.. I might as well use the buttons. One day I was looking at some posts by Sokol @ UBI and I decided to give it a shot.. That stick lasted me until the board went and I couldn't get another one without buying one.. so I figured if was going to buy another stick I might as well buy an X-52.. Then I got tired of the whole big stick on my desk thing again.. so here I am..I'll post pics when I am done..
4.10 makes it even better because more things are now on an axis so I can actually find a use for the three extra axii.. (The X,Y & Z). As it is right now I have rudder trim on the slider throttle slider for my MSFFB2. Aileron & elevator trim are on the wheels on my throttle.. and I always did have zoom on a slider/switch even before the 6DoF mod.. but now I don't have to use a macro so it is on the thumb slider of my throttle.. I think I will assign my rudder trim to the Z pot on the X-52 once I get it done and make the throttle on my MSFFB2 my radiator control and figure out what to do with the two X & Y axii of the X-52 once I figure out how I want to set them up.. Even now I use all the switches and have it set up for 3 modes.. with mode 1 being T/O & Landing, Mode 2 is Combat and Mode 3 is Emergency or lesser used stuff like Bail and drop tanks etc.. It is shaping up pretty well so far... the time between the first two and the third pic is
