Saitek X52 prop pitch mapping

I mainly fly the 109 and I mapped it to the slider on the throttle control but I am often getting frustrated because I move it a little bit to wide and don't hit the middel position and then the pitch goes full up or down. And when I notice my mistake it is often too late, especially in a dog fight. Very annoying!

I think that I will try it on the POV on the throttle control. This is also more realistic becuase I have to keep the button pressed to alter the pitch, like in a real 109.

Any other ideas?

I use the slider for prop-pitch on all planes (and for brakes with modifier) but I have set a deadzone in the middle, which helps to get the 109 in neutral.

-prop-pitch of course on the "gear-wheel", fwd/left side on throttle..

Hello

could a pilot be so kind to show me - best in pictures since I am German and am still not profound an all the aerial terms... - how to set up the slider.

I assume you - we - do everything in the SST soft. I read somewhere it 'd be best to set a 'deadzone' in the middle of the slider's way so to speak - doing nothing - and to set the upper top and bottom appropriately.
Well, how can I do that?

thank you
