hey rich, congrats on the new stick. If you haven't done so already i recommend doing 2 things to the X-52. I put a plastic washer in between the springs to increase the tension. If you like the way the X-52 feels currently then you don't have to do it. This is what i did to my X-52
See that white plastic washer, it increased the tension by a lot and I really prefer it that way. But again, its up to you.
One important thing i would do to the X-52 is to change the cluth button (which is the "I' button on the throttle). I changed it to an actual button and moved the cluth function to the reset button on the throttle. Thay way you can get an extra key, i mapped it to release flares. But since it wasn't intended to be an actual key, you can't map it in the SST program, you would have to manually do it in the lock on options menu. But this is how you do it
