Title: Saitek X52 Throttle Issue
Post by: 4510 on September 29, 2008, 04:07:44 PM

The old Saitek X-45 has up and died on me.

Saitek sent me an X-52 as a replacement.

I have managed to program everything (within the AH assignment.. not using the Saitek Software) as I had it on the X-45 EXCEPT the throttle mouse control button (the rubberized button under my left thumb).  I could program it under the X-45 but AH doesn't see it at all.
The button shows up in Windows as a Mini Stick.

I want to use it to slide my head position left and right.  Anyone cracked the code on this?

Thanks in advance,

Never showed up as a mappable device within AH for me. The only thing that knob did for me was move the mouse off my screen when I started my sortie.

Funny... because the X-45 would show up just fine...
I'm hoping SOMEONE out there has resolved this...

I've looked into it a bit and found nothing.  I don't think it's mappable, so it can't be changed.

Thanks... and bummer....

Hard to teach an old dog new tricks. My fingers just want to go where they've gone for several years!
