It's got a nice medium-light resistance to it when you move it. I like it, it feels good to me. But I have never had a throttle before this one so I can't speak of the comparison between it and the x-52 throttle exactly.

If you're coming from x52, it might be quite odd sensation compared to an arcing throttle but besides personal preference I dont see it being an issue in usability/functionality.

Roy, create a new map with Control Manager, make sure all devices have a device number. Use the control wizard button if you want, just make sure you dont link all your devices together as 1 device like i did. You wan't them to be seperate devices. Set your axis too with the drop down below the dx device menu.
Combatstick tab, mode 1, dx device drop down menu, CM Device 1.
Pro Pedals tab, mode 1, dx device drop down menu, CM Device 2.
Throttle tab, Mode 1, dx device drop down menu, CM Device 3.

Make sure all your buttons are checked with DX Mode by clicking the button on the controller or clicking the button on the picture of your device.

Save the map as whatever you want. Maybe DX_Control.map
Click the little download map button (8 button from the left) to download your dx control map to your controllers.

All your controllers and buttons on them should be recognized by the game at this point.. You should be able to assign a function in game to a button on your controller.

Try it out and get back to us. If you need more help PM me or something and we'll go from there.

To actually MAP your buttons to specific functions and use the multiple modes available, you're going to need to make a command file for the game you're playing. We can get into that later (its not that hard once you know how).

why do this when you can create one logical controller?

you can combine the stick, throttle, and pedals all into CM device 1. Doing this allows the mode functionality to really shine too as it triples your options.
