    Well, I finally gone and did it. I bought this X52 Saitek and it is WAY too High Tech for me.

    Has anyone out there in FH land used this one?

    Anyone with a profile to share or tips for setting-up?

    Thanks

    i like to have the views (numpad) on the right hand and the up-view on the left.
    i toggle icons with two <F2>.
    i use "/.e<CR>" on a key.
    to set the typing speed, you must deactivate the recorder (red circle), right click and use 0.05sec.
    i use mouse wheel for zoom, middle-mouse button for map.
    shift+x is an own key.
    cooliehat2 is for trim on speed,level, roll.
    cooliehat3 is for trimming up/right/down/left.

    i use one mode for fighter, one for buff and one for jeeps.
    buff mode: trigger is "rear view" and trigger2 is secondary fire.

    i test the result in a text-editor.

    Hi,

    Here is the one I have used for a 2 years now. I find it works well for me, as I have some alias/templates set up to use the 6 toggle switches. Just delete the dot txt and unzip to where you want.


    regards, Oz
