The only problem with configuring it in game is you effectively limit yourself to 1 mode for your buttons, not to mention shift buttons which I find even more useful than modes. Granted there are a lot of buttons to use, but it's nice to have modes IMO.

CH Control Manager doesn't have to run in the background. When you download your map to your devices, you can close CH CM. The map is on/in your devices at that point.

If you decide at some point that you wanna experiment more with modes/shift keys and CH CM, I can give you my command file so you don't have to set one up yourself.

I highly recommend to give this a try:

Edit, if you have some problems with acrobat...

It is like always, if nothing works read the manual and here you have a quite good manual. You might think that what you have is enough; still there are plenty of possibilities still to be discovered.

If I could anyone can.

Salutes Majo.

absolutely love the pedals,so smooth after using either stick or throttle for rudder,

[Sauf]

I ordered my saitek combat rudders last night, hopefully get them this week if they have in stock. It says on the stores site that they do but i have been bitten to many times to bekieve them. Now to start some serious saving for a warthog to go with them.
After reading the reviews im more than ever aware now of the slack and difficulty aiming with my x52, even though i have various things, bits of cd, matchsticks ect, stuffed in to try and stiffen the tension.

Cheers

Could you please make a little "review" of them. I'm also thinking of buying them but there seem to be no reviews in the internet yet.
Thx in advance

turns the mini stick into basically a two way rotary. you need to set a decent sized dead band as the mini sticks are notoriously bad at centering but this is just as responsive as my old x45s rotaries. the other thing you need to do is unmap the ministick completely (dx axis = none) then go into the cms controls tab and set cms 1 and cms 2 as cm device1 axis', mine are set to U and V axis.

everyone always complains about the rotaries, well, the above gives you rotaries.

thanks for that but i dont understand where all that goes?

why do this when you can create one logical controller?

you can combine the stick, throttle, and pedals all into CM device 1. Doing this allows the mode functionality to really shine too as it triples your options.
