The setting up of your HOTAS is a very important part to having a fun experince in flight sims. I will tell you how I set up my X52 and will post a profile in the downloads section. There is two ways of creating a profile with the X52. One using the SST program to creat a profile for a specific game and loading in to the X52 when playing that game. The second wiy is to have a blank profile in the X52 and creat a in game profile with the games config profiler. I use a split betwean both programing the majorty of the controles in the game and the ones I use for voice comes in the SST. The presion slider is a bit jitery and un stable to use for a axes comand. So I split the slider in the SST softwair to a 10% 80% 10% bands and asining the zoom in/out to the two 10% bands and the middel 80% is the nutral area. This will take away any sturting/zoom issue you had befor in the game.
