About the x52pro, I have it, and I'm using the SST programmer with all 3 modes and pinkies (Mode 1 & Mode 1+Pinkie = RF fighters; Mode 2 & 2+Pinkie = American Aircraft; Mode 3 & 3+Pinkie = Su25 & Su25T). The only functions I assigned ingame was the rotaries. I also assigned the TDC/Radar Cursor slewing to the POV 2 (from within the game), it accepted the assignments but wouldn't slew, even when I set the POV to 'unprogrammed' on the SST (If anyone can help me with that, I'll appreciate it). So I cleared it from within, and mapped them through the SST. Works like a charm. I even mapped multiple functions to some buttons (press for function 1; press and hold one sec for function 2, hold for 3 sec for function 3, etc eg; for POV 1 right, holding it will toggle air to air 2, 3, 4 in 0.5 second intervals, pressing POV down will select SETKA, but holding POV1 down will first select 'SETKA', unselect it (after about 0.4 sec) and select Air to Ground. Pressing 'fire a' selects the EOS ("o"), but holding it will first select EOS, deselect it (after 0.4 sec) and select the Radar ("i") (after about 1 sec) and so on. And all this works like a charm.
