When you test the ministick in control panel, it reads directly from the joystick, so it will work all the times. In your normal usage of Windows, can you use the ministick as a mouse outside the game? If not, then the profile that it is loaded for your X-52 is not associating the ministick with the mouse. I'd advise you then to test with a new, fresh default profile.

Offline in FC2, I've seen AIM-120s losing the lock and passing past the target, then waking up again, doing almost a 180 turn and scoring a hit, similar to the graph you showed. Perhaps the same happened to you, perhaps not.

Just to give my 2 cents: They are really needed in FC2? I see the need in more complex sims like Falcon 4 and variants, or BlackShark. You're missing the point. By assigning the joystick buttons directly to the game functions, there are no character conversion involved. The game reads directly from the joystick state. You can even use joystick buttons as modifiers (pink switch) or multiple modifiers at the same time, without the hassle of Ctrl, Alt and Shift mix and mess. However, I had to do two things in the SST programming software for the X-52: - Setup bands for a slider to emit + and - keys. All the aircraft but the A-10 have an axis for the MFD Range (shkval zoom, or radar range). But the Mav zoom in A-10 can only be done by keys. - Setup one joystick button to emit the keycode for teamspeak, since the game doesn't have built-in VOIP.

That means in previous versions you were able to customize the payload for your aircraft in multiplayer? Because what we see in FC2 are just a list of presets. While they work acceptably for pure fighters / interceptors, they do not work much for Su25T and A-10.

If you right-click on the taskbar icon of the X52 joystick, there is a menu that lists all profiles you have. Right-click on the profile, and you can set it the default profile to load every time your computer starts.

I'm having a trouble setting a X-52 axis to the Pitch Trim. I check the Axis in control panel and it works fine. Also if I assign the same axis to other function (like Radar Tilt) it works fine. But when I set it to Pitch Trim, it doesn't work. Any clue?

I'm feeling comfortable leaving deadzone to 0, saturation to 100 and setting curvature to 50. Using Saitek X-52.

You dont need to delete ALL columns, thus rendering your profile unusable in the editor. Just leave one column with the "Shift Buttons" row empty (right click on it and deselect all buttons). This way I can still use SST to assign the mouse commands to the ministick (thus making it usable as a TDC slew control) and assigning a Shift-key to the pink switch (thus making it availabe as a modifier). Actually these are the only things I set in SST, the remainder is all in-game.
