OR, if someone can explain to me why the X52 Pro throttle is set up that way, and what kind of advantages it may have, and tell me why I should embrace its ways rather than battle it. I suspect this is due to some basic thing flight sim people expect, but it's messing with my head and I'm wondering if there's a way to make the throttle work the way the T Flight works? In other words, it's very different from the Thrustmaster T Flight HOTAS that I've been using, in that it has no zero point in the middle. Specifically, pushing it all the way forward results in forward thrust or reverse thrust, depending on whether one of the buttons has been pressed to enable either forward or reverse. The one thing I'm not getting though, is the way the throttle works. but I got that all worked out and got it set up the way I want it more or less, and it seems to all be working just fine. That in itself offered a few interesting challenges, from its apparent disinterest in playing nicely with USB 3.0 to battling the driver and profile software installations.
I just got a new Saitek X52 Pro flight control system yesterday, and spent a good deal of time setting it up to use in ED.
