AH will recognise everything on the X52 (except the toggle) if you have game controller control pad running in the back ground.
It will even see 8 progamable functions on your Multifunctional display and 3 on your mode switch. However I only use 1 & 3 on the mode switch and leave 2 as an off to avoid continuous inputs (use the mode switch for bomb sight calibration).
To get the game controller the best way is to open the saitek software to the bottom right hand bar, right clik to select control panel then close the Saitek software (no profile running).
Out puts look like this you usethem as you wish.
