Can you use ms sidewinder ff2 stick with x52 throttle?

[Rossterman]

I’ve always liked the feel of the FF stick and wheels and wish it was implemented in more current controllers. I have a mint ms sidewinder ff2 stick and would like to pair it with the throttle control from the saitek combo,but the saitek system is connected together with cables. Has anyone done this and if so, how do you do it?

Just set the X52 stick aside and make sure nothing in DCS is mapped to the axes. Then map the throttle and FF stick to DCS.

shouldn't be any problem with more than one input device unless you're trying to use two of the same device, at which point it may confuse the two. like SVgamer72 said just unbind the x52 stick axes, or the game will get confused and fight your inputs.

 

Keeping both plugged in will be a good thing anyway if you decide there are certain aircraft you appreciate having more buttons in, plugging in an FFB stick while the game is running causes the msffb2 to only have center forces ime.

 

I use my WH stick for most jets and go with FFB for prop aircraft and helos.. love that force trim.

Thanks all! Was thinking similar- FF stick for helis and prop planes and the saitek for jets.
