How's the X45 Throttle?

[Vengeanze]

Thank you for the feedback. Cool to see that others like that combo!
Gonna pick up a used x45 throttle this coming weekend unless I find a x52 closer by.

Another Q; from what I understand the x45 throttle has these rudder axis button but what does the x52 has instead?

That'll save me a button. Ejecting is for chickens and pornstars.
Funny thing, I was ejecting once but the shute never opened. I was puzzled but thought this was a kewl feature.
Then I remembered that I had opt out the chute in the Pilot menu. Ouch.

X-45 throttle dont have you own USB controller - depend of X-45 joystick controller to work.

Some people merge stick circuit into throttle base:


This give you some additional rotary (X and Y of RIP stick) and buttons.

Or turn the stick (necessary to control X-45 throttle) in some (nice) button bay:



X-52 throttle control both throttle and stick, so you can use X-52 throttle stand alone - with other brand joysticks.

That sux. But nice solutions there. Too bad I don't know the hot side from the handle on a soldering iron.

C'mon, I know you're a soldering ace. I'll send u my stick and you can fix it like pic 1.
Thank you!!

Send it please! I can always do with one SWFFB2 in my collection...

Otherwise, yes I can, if I can fixe your problem by putting in the microwave, you are welcome...

On a more serious note, I really wish I could do what these guys in the pictures are doing with their joysticks but, no chance


Anyway good to see such things, it expands the horizon
(did you see what that guy did to the mouse control of the X45 throttle!!!??? (pic #2) :O )
