I've just gotten my X-52 and the programming's going well so far, but I'm stuck on a few areas:
1) I'm trying to set my "bail out" button to the pinkie switch and the "B" fire button, but I have no clue how to do this, and the manual isn't helping too much.
2) When I was trying to programme things in Aces High, I noticed it didn't seem to recognise some of the inputs from the upper hatswitch on the joystick. Also, other buttons on the throttle (such as the one in the middle of the smaller rotary control labelled "i").
3) Could there be any problems if I programme some things in Aces High and others in the Profile Editor software, as long as I'm careful not to give conflicting commands?
Also, what's best overall for programming what: the software or Aces High, and does anyone have a stick profile they could send me?

i would not set the Bail out to pinky, i will bet you will regret it, id suggest to set it for look up.
you should only put the most needed controls on stick, bail out is certainly not that,
this is my set up
pinky=lookup
trigger=primary weapon
fire under safety switch=secondary WPN
A button= engine start stop
bottom hat on stick= views.
c button L of hat= squad talk
B button R of hat=local talk
top hat on stick left = cycle drop tanks & secondary WPN
top hat on stick right= change fuel tanks
top hat on stick,up, down= flaps
top hat on stick push down),= auto level, auto speed,auto angle.
top hat on stick push down= gear,record film,and text banner
slide on throttle=brakes
D button(right of slide)zoom toggle
E button=clipboard
hat on throttle push down,=WEP,
hat on throttle pull back=toggle combat trim
hat on throttle=left right is zoom in out
the three buttons on throttle=map zoom in out,and look down.
the rotary wheels i dont use they suk,
this isnt perfect, but i dont have to remove my hands while fighting, and thats whats important.(to me anyway)
hope this will give ya some good ideas.
