I don't like rudders. Or, there's some sort of problem with mine.

Don't cal. those rudders unless in the AH game . If you do they won't work right , at least mine don't .

It must be something with getting the x in the upper left hand spot or something . If I put them in the default spot in Windows , then cal. in AH game they work perfect .

Ch gear for people that want to play , Cougar for people that like working on joysticks , and Saitek for the rest that love takeing stuff back ( again and again ) .

Microsoft made good , very good joysticks but don't anymore .

X-52 here. Disabled the twisty pos and got CH USB Pedals. They work great and the setup is hassle free.

Cheaper than CH all the way.

If you can afford CH all the way then I would probably do that.

Otherwise just get some pedals and use the Stick/Throttle setup from Saitek.

What do you mean, ink? You can't make a profile, or you can't have work with the game?

I have the X52 (don't use twisty) and Simped pedals. They Roc.

Seriously, the Simpeds are only twice the price of CH pedals, well worth the difference.

I got mine at amazone

One advantage to the CH gear that may or may not be applicable is that if throttle, stick, and rudders are all CH, you can combine them into a single controller device as far as the operating system is concerned using the CH software and they will work with older games that only support a single game controller.

well I did but I got fed up with it today after they locked up while I had two jerks chasing me and so now the pedals and fighterstick are both in tiny little pieces.

I think I calibrated my fighterstick and ch pedals two times ever, once when I first installed them and once after I got a new computer after I installed them again. Decided to go with the (CH) after reading these forums.

Tiny little pieces eh? You don't happen to be that spoiled german kid on youtube, are you?

AH wont let me use the SST programing.

plus the two analog wheels on the throttle are worthless.

and its real loose i put a big washer on top of spring and that helped ALOT.

accually i gotta tell ya the truth... i am to... the main problem i am having is the fact the stick is so dang loose compared to my old JS, my old 1 i could aim on a dot,this 1 is just to lose to aim it
