Hello, First -- my apologies. I am sure I'm doing this wrong (posting in the wrong place, asking the wrong question, not giving enough information, etc). But any assistance is appreciated. I am new to MS Flight Simulator. I recently bought the MS Flight Simulator X, plus a Saitek AV8R-01 stick, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, and a Flight Link Collective. I understand there are setting on the computer and also within the FSX software for these devices, and I've worked on getting them set, but I cannot get it right. I've flown gliders in the past, so I have some basic understanding of how the control surfaces on a regular plane work. I have never flown a helicopter, but I sort of understand how that should work. Bottom line --- I cannot get the setup correct. I've searched the archives, but the information I need seems to be so specific to my computer, the version of the software, and the particular drivers, that I still am failing on this task. I am asking for help. In fact, if someone is in Denver, and willing to help me set this up on my computer, I'd be willing to pay you for your time. Thanks, Mike aka Soleilandluna
