is it possible to play with a microsoft sidewinder joystick and the x52 throddle? or should i just buy an x45 with rudder pedals?

Hum, good first question. I have a sidewinder Im presently using. I also have an X-45 which I hate (due to the sensitive rudder control). I assume you can use the throttle control. Just set up the throttle for X-52 in game and the sidwinder for everything else. Not sure if you'd get the benefit of the other buttons on the throttle this way, though. Ill have to try this when i get home from work. (ya its great, i have plenty of time to surf this board while getting paid for other things I should be doing

)

Ya, Mega, I set my X-45 throttle control last night and am using the Sidewinder., and it works great together. Glad you brought the topic up, its a nice addition to the Sidewinder Wouldn't have thought of it myself

Only one problem, it seems some of the throttle buttons share the same buttons as the sidewinder, but Im cool with that.
