Here's mine

UPDATE I have solved the problem, in one of my bands settings I had programmed a keystroke instead of a macro so when activated it was sending a repeated keystroke thus messing up the complete profile. Probably not a good idea to set up the profile at 3am. Now I am fully awake I found the problem. Still having the strange activation problem although now it happens only now and again.

OK first off I'm loving this sim (FC2). When I first installed I was using a Thrustmaster Hotas X as my brother had "borrowed" my X52. I have now got my X52 back and have installed the latest drivers and SST software (Win7 64). The problem I have is that when the X52's buttons are programmed in game all is good and works as it should, but if I attempt to create a profile and run with that I often get buttons not working and sometimes my keyboard locking up and have to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of the game. I know I could run with just setting up the X52 from within the game, but want to use a profile so I can use the different Modes for Nav, A-G and A-A. I am not new to programming the X52 have set it up using modes for FSX and Falcon 4.0 in the past. I have just tested the stick by running a newly programmed 3 mode profile on FSX and all is well, but on FC2 I cannot get it to work, or if it does work the stick becomes unresponsive after a few minutes. I have uninstalled FC2 and the Saitek software and reinstalled and the problem still persists. Another problem I have is now when I load the game I get to the main screen and after selecting a mission it tells me that FC2 needs activating, when I click I already have a key it loads up fine, but it is annoying that this happens every time. I am going to deactivate and reactivate to see if that cure the problem. If anyone has any thought on the X52 profile problem it would be appreciated. *EDIT* just deactivated then reactivated FC2 and still get an activation message after selecting a mission. Never had this problem before I installed the X52 pro software.

Got mine yesterday, as I'm just starting with FC2 (and lock on) it's great that the manual is there by the keyboard ready for instant help. It is great quality although cardboard chapter dividers would have been a nice touch. As I'm about to buy Black Shark then A-10C when it's released I will have to get manuals for them too, discovering ED has gotten to be expensive for me, but worth it :)

I had the maverick slew problem when using a hat switch on my HOTAS. I got by this by assigning slew to a Xbox 360 controller analogue stick which I now have setup in between the HOTAS stick and throttle on my desk. Once I got used to it I found it really easy to aim the mavs, plus now have a few more extra buttons to play with :)

I've not tried with the Sony ereader, but I have tried on my HTC HD2 Mobile phone and the result was good, I have seen other .pdf documents on my brothers Sony ereader and they came out well. If he was not abroad I would have tested for you.
