Very odd that it doesn't recognize your sliders AtlasR1se. Did you ever get that fixed?
Uploading the profile I said I would once upon a time.
This makes all the buttons on the X52 throttle quadrant into, well, buttons, usable in any game. I use them as modifiers.
Technically you could make the wheel scroll up and down be buttons as well.
I used the X52 software to right-click and change all the controls I wanted to change in mode 1 to "Fallback", then set Mode 1's "Fallback" to Mode 2. Then, under the mode 2 column, all the controls you previously set to "Fallback", set them to "Button." This may prompt you to assign a button to that button. It's possible to assign your joystick buttons to other buttons, but that's not the point of this. Just click the red X and it should then be set as an undefined "button." You can do this same process with any control you want to change.
Hope this helps the X-52 owners still out there. There are dozens of us, dozens! I've had mine for over 15 years.
If you're struggling with deadzones or 0 and 100% deadzones, go to Windows search and look for "Set up USB game controllers." From there, click X-52 Hotas -> Properties -> Deadzone tab at the top. You can right click in the deadzone fields and click "Unlink deadzones" for 0% or 100% deadzones, or if you need it to be asymmetrical (a little more deadzone to the left than to the right, etc.)
