I mapped drop-tank-release and bomb-release on the "Launch"-button with the safety-thing on the stick. Pressing Pinkie and the "Launch"-button is my bailout.

@feuerfalke
when i start my pc the profile for my x52 is automatically loaded so i can see it on the display of the throttle.
@bobby109
you have to have the latest drivers:
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/fu...ler_SD6_32.exe
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/fu...oftware_32.exe
the bad thing is that you have to write a new profile as the new sw can´t use the old profiles.

DOH! is there not a converter ?

[robtek]

not at this time, afaik they are working at one.

[Bobby109]

okay

How have you set up your elevator trim in joycontrol? all 100s ? any deadzone or filtering ?

Hi!

Isn't there somewhere a guide for how to set up the X52 so most planes fly straight with that stick? I've noticed that all (well, at least the ones I've tested, about 20 or so) planes but most the russian and the japanese do not fly straight. I.e. the aileron always needs to be trimmed - quite a lot - since the planes just dip their right wing... That sounds pretty weird to me, but that's my experience. And many planes just react very slightly upon trimming, if at all...

As I use my Saitek Av8r stick instead with e.g. Gladiator or Corsair, the planes go straight ahead without a fuzz...

Question: If you use the rudder on the twiststick how do you have it set up?

I have it at all 100s now but when i add rudder input the plane swings hard to that side, it's very difficult to aim precisely with it and i end up not using rudder at all when shooting.

Okay i just tested this in a 190. I flew straight and trimmed for level flight, the ball was centered and yet the right wing drops slowly. Have to hold the stick slightly to the left to keep flying straight. This is really weird, i was perfectly trimmed and it still dropped!

I put linear pattern 50-100 and 10 filtering. Made it easier to keep the ball centered during flight!
