go to map controllers in the game, click on the stick in the drop down, highlight the axis your having trouble with, click the advance button, and then add a little "dead band" to it. What your looking for is the numbers where it says the axis to settle and stop fluctuating around. Be sure to click "OK" to save the settings

If you loaded the saitek software,goto the control panel for the x52,you'll find the calibration there. If not goto windows control panel,look for game controlers and you'll find windows calibration there.

  Ingame goto map controls,follow travelers suggestion and you can also calibrate the JS there or select an individual axis and calibrate that.

  I highly recommend you use a powered USB hub for your X52,it requires a steady power supply that your computer may not be able to deliver all the time,this can cause all sorts of issues with the x52 and calibration.

 hope that helps.

So because you have a problem READING and understanding instructions, and so clicking on anything and everything, Saitek is a bad product?  :rofl

if they have a add on there page that says download and is named saitek and at hte very bottom of there page it says skip add, then in my book yes.

also start fiddeling with it again today its just a bad product i reinstalled the old hardware from the disc and still nothing there software wont run at all. and you cant calibrate via windows because they remove that so you must use there software lol, yeah great product.
