Help Setting up Saitek X52 (rotary trims)

Featured Replies

I am creating my own profile for FSX using my X-52 and so far have been unable to find a way to use the rotary knobs on my throttle as trim wheels. I would like to use the top rotary (the one with button E in the middle) to trim ailerons. Button I rotary knob for the rudders and the mouse wheel for elevator. I have tried using the slider for elevator control but have found it way to sensative, maybe there is a way to ruduce it's sensativity and use it for the elevator?Thanks for any help.Blaze

Hi Blaze.You probibly know about this.Start FSX go to settings / controls / Calibrate / Properties / DeadzoneThere is an ajustment there for the precision slide Merry ChristmasRex

Yeah I know about the dead zones, However it just reduces sensitivity around the center or "Dead Zone" once outside this area it's still too sensitive. I can program the trims as single key press and use the 4 way hat switch but would prefer to find a way to use the rotary knobs, if possible.Thanks,Blaze
