When you get your stick, head over to mission4today.com, I uploaded a IL-2 profile for the X52 a couple of years ago:

I don't know if it will work with the X52Pro, but it's worth a shot. It puts the elevator trim on the top rotary, rudder trim on the small rotary, prop pitch on the slider, flaps on the mouse wheel. It's got everything you need on the stick except for view options (I don't use them).

Unfortunately, I can't use this profile anymore as the top rotary on my throttle isn't working right anymore. Not sure if I just need to clean the pots or replace them, but I think I might just get a new HOTAS in the future. Regardless, the X52 is a good stick for the price, but I did have an issue with the first one I purchased, it wouldn't stay centered at all so I had to exchange it for a different one, and it worked fine for a little over two years until the rotary failed.

And, just a personal preference, I set the sensitivity on the pitch and roll axis to 100 across the board, and the rudder from 0 to 100 on a slight curve to start with that gradually gets taller the closer to the end I get.
