don't think that's the issue, when the cord pulls out every thing stops working, I think that the x-52 is just crap and not made very well.
Looks pretty though.
actually I just looked at it, that cord that they are talking about is the cord from the stick to throttle, the throttle is what is connected via USB port, so it cannot be the problem, I do not use the X-52 stick just the throttle.
thanx for trying though ![salute :salute](http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/salute.gif)
I don't think it's a hardware issue at all. I think it's a driver or hardware issue.. possibly a direct x issue.. I have had no issues whatsoever about the build quality of my X52, with the exception of a bit of center slop due to the metal shaft wearing down the plastic it attaches to. (My saitek pedals however.. is a different story).
Is it possible that somehow you got switched to a different "mode" from within Aces High which didn't have the trim wheels programmed?
