is it possible to play with a microsoft sidewinder joystick and the x52 throddle? or should i just buy an x45 with rudder pedals?

Hum, good first question.  I have a sidewinder Im presently using.  I also have an X-45 which I hate (due to the sensitive rudder control).  I assume you can use the throttle control.  Just set up the throttle for X-52 in game and the sidwinder for everything else.  Not sure if you'd get the benefit of the other buttons on the throttle this way, though.  Ill have to try this when i get home from work.  (ya its great, i have plenty of time to surf this board while getting paid for other things I should be doing :)  )

Ya, Mega, I set my X-45 throttle control last night and am using the Sidewinder., and it works great together.  Glad you brought the topic  up, its a nice addition to the Sidewinder  Wouldn't have thought of it myself :aok   Only one problem, it seems some of the throttle buttons share the same buttons as the sidewinder, but Im cool with that.
