I have been talking with guys over at Hyperloby about this, So Im going to ilustrate the new MOD I made for the Saitek X52 thanks to a freind who taught me.
It can be donne at ZERO cost and the parts needed are suplied in the stick itself and a couple of thin short screws you probably already have arround your house.
Materials:
-2 Very thin screws
-1 Philips screw driver
-Some liquid glue, the more snoty and thick it is the better
What it consists:
Pic 1 below will show what you obtain as you move the stick in circles...not exactly what you would be expecting heh? ;)
Pic 2 shows what you obtain with the MOD by moving the stick in a circle...results in a circle duh.
^^^^^^
This is exactly how the stick should have worked from factory in the first place. The stick in its original condition provides reduced manuverability for your aircraft at the corners of your sticks deflection (pitch+roll). Saitek's engineers missed completely a most obvious design simplification wich clearly brings numerous advantages, mechanical and in controlability of nature. Tsss tss great engineers are they... :D
Pros:
-slighly Increased manueverability
-More predictable stick response on your aircraft
-with this MOD You will actualy have less moving parts inside that would wear off with time and break your stick. Handy, no? ;)
-If you dont like the MOD you can restore the stick to its original condition.
Cons:
-Like all work made by hand -on a piece of hardware like this--, theres always some risk involved if you mess things up.
-Hardest part is finding adequate 2 screws I listed above, see in my next post how those screws should look like.
Dont miss second part of this tutorial coming right next So dont post yet before Im donne posting it.
