Man this is great...takes a bit of breaking the "twisty stick mentality..but Man 'o Man... I loosened up the throttle... been screwing around with "Janes Air Superiority" and it takes alot to learn.
I just don't know how to program the buttions..
I like the 2 handed action... it's like when I....errr never mind...
BTW how do you program the buttons to what you want?

Basically you use the software that comes with the stick, and take the letters from the keyboard layout for the commands you want, and assign them to the different buttons on the X45. Example: the "N" key fires both your primary and secondary weapons at the same time. You assign the trigger the function "N." It's more difficult than it sounds.
OR...if you look around on the boards, you can find postings by EAGLER. He has been kind enough to share a file with his stick settings in it. I took his, opened it up to see how it worked, and adjusted some things to my personal preferences. (I would put mine on here for you, but I'm not quite sure how to do that...)
Best of Luck!

No one helps a MAW. I knew when I was a cubscout and tried to help and old lady cross the road...Poor woman didn't know I was color blind... as I jump out of the way all she said was "CHIT"
All iI heard after that is "Wait til yer MAW hears about this'n"... Ever scince it's been "Gonn tell yer MAW, "Yer MAW is gonna be spittin mad" ....ect...
My Maw drove me to the MAW's..that and BGB & Urb the hand muppet...
LOL
:D

Err, I just program the buttons in game.
Plus I turned my two rotaries into trim. I'm still playing around with the auxilary switch to see if I can get more commands onto the stick.
-
How does that rudder switch work?..That's what put me off buying the thing.
-
The X-45 has the rudder on the throttle. Rudder is operated with the left hand.
The newest stick and throttle by that company (X-75?) returns to the twist-stick concept.

*Feeling spent... MacMaw reaches for a smoke* If only it had force feed back...it'd be the bes country'n western song...errr wait... Got the wrong CD in trying to fly Jane USAF... LOL

X45 profile (http://www.pogbird.com/X45)
My profile is set up for trim on rotors with rudder set for CH Pro Peds - you'll have to reset the throttle rocker back to axis and assign the rudder axis to it in the AH jstick config
let me know if you have any questions

Vegas Over/Under is 2 weeks before it breaks in two or starts spiking uncontrollably.

So you like the joystick?

Odds running 3/5 that in a fit of un-lubricated rage, he twists the stick out of the base and plants it in his monitor inside of 2 weeks.
-
One thing I havent seen anyone mention.....Do NOT use the software that comes with the stick. Goto Saiteks website and download the latest version. The software in the box doesnt utilize the stick to its max ability. Also make sure when installing it you select advanced user when it asks what kind of user you will be.
Its a great stick. Enjoy!

two options:
a) rtfm :)
b) find an E3 in your command who will RTFM for you and have him do it :lol

Once you get used to using it, you're gonna love it. Course around about that time, the hat switch will start to go south on you. Usually happens in the middle of a tense fight, after you've already got a healthy bunch of scalps hanging from your belt.;)

Hmm, I've never had any problems except with the springs getting sloppy, and I'm pretty ham-fisted on the unit. About everything 9-12 months I replace it with another $39 refurbished X45.
Sirloin, I didn't like rudder on throttle, so I paired the unit up with CH Pro peddles.
-
You're going to need some rudder pedals! CH USB pedals work wonders.
I'm on my second X45 (The first died due to dropping from chest high onto pavement while moving) and have used the system for over two years now.
CH Pro USB pedals and I have no complaints. I just wish I had more time to play.
-
Ripsnort, How many do you have lying around? Ever consider selling them? If the price is right I sure could use some spare parts.

By Ch.....in the long run spend less money on controllers, last 10 times as long as Saitek.
Haven't worn out or broken one yet.......purchase one about every 3 years.....keep old one as a spare. I have 3 spares!
-
Hajo sounds like you really rely upon the CH stick to have 3 spares.... I keep and old Broken in half Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital to remind me to never again by anything "Logitech".
Still can't get the dammm Wingman crap off the startup bar on the puter.
Luv the X45..... been playing all weekend with it...Janes F15, USAF and IAF and my old Red Baron II.
Only prob with the HOTAS is ya can't scratch yer nards or smoke or drink a brew.....
:rofl

Only two, my newer one and the one in my son's room. Next time I replace I'll keep you in mind, as I usually throw out the oldest one. Now that I haven't flown for 75 days or so, that might be awhile! Winter is coming, rain season...I'll be up again. ;)

Rip... I should be flyin by this weekend!!!
Can't wait... yep the old saying "In Two Weeks" snuck up and bit me in the arse...
