I wish I could use mine on the 360. Guess I'll have to build a good enough PC so I can play IL-2 with that X52 until someone figures out how to mod it for the 360.

It isn't such a mod that I would think anyone would ever actually do to an x52. It would ruin it.


You basically have to take out the internals of the X52, and replace them with an Xbox 360 controller. After which the LCD would be useless, as would have the buttons and dials. It is basically something you only do to a controller that you no longer have a need for its original function.

A console flight sim, as great as it may be, is not a very good reason to ruin a great PC flight stick.



[EDIT]

Also should mention that the controller board you would need to replace the X52 with would have to be from a 360 flight stick, because the 360 will recognize it as whatever controller the board came from. If it is a regular controller, your game controls would reflect that, and those controls are definitely NOT flight stick friendly.
