Detents cant be used to properly control reverse thrust. There is a shift function that allows each mode to be split into 2.Some key things i have programmed:- spoilers on the slide control- Autopilot as the fire button with the guard (shift+this button is flight director)- trim up / down- LNAV / VNAV modes- autothrottle arm- N1 engage- flaps up/dn- gear up/dn- autbrakes +/- fuel cocksHappy to help with any set up specificsrm2242PS - the throttle is a pain. You will still find enough functionality having 1 mode per plane. Each addon has different key assignments, so unless it is a default FSX/FS9 command, then it wont work for all addons. I therefore have the LDS767 on mode 1, PMDG737 on mode 2 and MD-80 on mode 3. Otherwise you wont get to enjoy the stick at the beginning.My best piece of advice is to use the mode selector (there are 3 settings which each re-map all the buttons on the stick) to select between planes. Hi Mark!I have some advice - definately do what is stated above about prepping in advance. I guess those of us who are very happy with our X52 Pros are too busy flying with them to post.

(It's a complex stick, so don't underestimate the learning curve.) :( You might possibly want to have a look at the Saitek forum, although you'll have to wade through a lot of peeves from people who for one reason or another seem to be having problems.

The generic fs profile that Saitek provide is far from ideal, but you might want to use it as a starting point for your first attempt.My top tip would be to ignore the CD that comes in the box and download the *latest* Saitek software from here.

for functions like TOGA that won't be present by default in PMDG's list).I suggest making your own because it's more fun, and you end up with exactly what you need for the way (and the aircraft) that you fly. You'll probably need to add a few entries to the PMDG keyboard commands list, to map to the keystrokes you decide to generate from the stick (i.e. Then when the stick arrives you can dive straight in to programming a profile that's exactly right for you. Hi Mark!One thing you might want to do in advance is to work out exactly which functions you want to assign to the stick and which to the throttle, and then which buttons to use (that could keep you busy until your birthday, if you do it thoroughly!).
