Hello everyone! I just got the Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel from Amazon in the mail yesterday. I plugged it in via USB and it was immediately recognized by Windows. I tested it out and the properties menu showed that the wheel functioned as advertised. Here is where the problem sets it:I have the X52 Pro joystick from Saitek and the aileron input is controlled by the x-axis. The trim wheel is also controlled by the x-axis. Because of this, when I try to assign the elevator trim axis in FSX, it warns me that the elevator axis assignment will replace the aileron axis assignment because both the trim wheel and the joystick use the x-axis. This essentially renders my trim wheel useless unless I want it to control the ailerons. Because of this, I come to the hardware forum for help and answers. Is there any way to remove this conflict? If it helps, I have a registered copy of FSUIPC (though I am no expert with the controls and axis functions of the program). Any help is appreicated.Thanks!

Definitely only use FSUIPC to assign all your flight hardware. I found John Cook's FSUIPC Guide to be quite useful for getting started. It's for CH gear, but assigning and calibrating an axis is universal to all manufacturers.Cheers,- jahman.

I'll have a try at this tomorrow and hopefully I can get them to work together. Thanks!

FSUIPC has seemed to remove the conflict. Thanks! One question though, do you recommend a curve for the control surfaces? The inputs are rather sensitive at default settings.

Good to hear you got it your control problem sorted out!Sensitivity depends on your personal tastes, but you could select a curve that is flatter in the center so you have less sensitivity there.It's best for each aircraft (and with FSUIPC you can configure your sensitivities separately for each aircrafft!) to go to the rear outside view and actually look at how the control surfaces move as you move your yoke and pedals. The idea is that the calibration you select should allow for full range of the control surface movement (with a tad more movement in the CH control than in the control surface so you know you have the complete range of movement fully covered.)Cheers,- jahman.
