I tried to re-map with success. The issue is that the slew control will only work for a couple of minutes, until it becomes unresponsive. If I minimize the game and open the profile editor for the X52 and re-enter the game, it will work again for a couple of minutes. I am really baffled at what is causing this. Perhaps the Saitek software? One thing I have noticed is that if I choose the "Clear Profile" setting, the program stops responding. Moreover, if I unplug the HOTAS while the computer is running, I receive the blue screen of death.
Am I the only one having this issue? Could I change some settings, or install something that will stop the program from acting up and allow me to use all HOTAS controls in the game, without having to enter the Saitek program?
edit: Here are my system specs
Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit
