you can do that with an x45 ever since AHII beta 11 or something.

Yes. Just pick the trim you want to set and map it to "Rotary 1" (or Rotary 2, etc.) in the joystick selection in AH.

Thank you guys!!!

I tried that when first got my X45, and gave up in frustration. Never knew it could now be done. You've made my day!

(Obviously a fairly small day for me, but I'll take what I can get....)

Ok guys bought mine yesterday at Best Buy for $129.00.

I simply love this thing. Heck, it has a digital screen readout on the throttle. I did not like the x45 so I did not ever buy one. This one looked so dang awesome I had to buy it just to check out all the pretty lights :0).

All hats, switches and buttons light up along with a blue back lit info screen on the throttle. It is very smooth and even though you can lock the rudder from the twisty, the rudder operated very well and not all the time when you dont want it to.

There are so many switches, sliders, hats, buttons and rotaries, that I will only have to touch my keyboard to type from now on.

Now setting it up took me about an hour or a little longer. It is very intuitive.

Uses one USB port.

All else I will say is, just buy one if you can afford it. It is the most advanced stick on the market!!!

One quick question though...  Does Aces High recognize the 2nd hat switch?  I still can't get it to recognize the 2nd hat on my X-45 (s'posed to be a 8 way switch, only get four out of it).

The clutch button acts to disengage the functions of all buttons, switches, etc, while in flight so that you can work on programing in flight and not be firing stuff, dropping gear, bailing, etc. :)

The stick is very comfortable and adjustable to different hand sizes.

Again if you can afford it, you owe it to yourself to just test drive one. Theres always the option of return with no money loss if you dont like it. But I doubt anyone would.

Yes oh yes, there is nothing this thing cannot do. You just have to use the programming software to set each addition hat up to your commands. Also, all hats have optional setting for either 4 way or 8 way use.

I have but one question.

I have an X45 now...The rudder is one the throttle side. Underneath the throttle. I didn't really like the twisty stick when I had my FFB Microsoft.

Is there a similar setup on that X52? I can lock the twist part yet still have a rudder there and not the keyboard?

You must download the latest SST softwaresaitek downloads  from Saitek's website. There was an issue with the box software not working correctly with the 2nd hat and one of the hats only was a 4 way. I never saw this as I knew about it before I bought it and downloaded the software. I have never had a problem with mine not working as 8 way switches in AH or any other game.
