(correction, not saitek, but realistic sims in general, more realiastic, means more controls,,,), which makes adding more controls with sticks like Saitek has been going crazy with every flight sim that has more and more complicated controls... it seems that for simple flight sims,, it worls best, and as the complication of commands grow, Saitek gets screwy... with more problems..

A-10C was the straw that broke the back.. it relaly pushed Saitek SST programming over the edge with complication that the stick and software seem to lose the ability to finction properly..

My X52 Pro was uanble to handle A-10C, in game cotnrols... and so I had no choice but to go with the SST software commands.. I needed more controls, no matter what.. in IL-2 CLOD< I got away with in game controls and some SST controls..

IL-2 1946 is SST controls

note: I also fly Black Shark... and other flight sims..

The sticks from Saitek wear after about 3 years use and start having problems, with parts breaking easier, with cheap plastic..

I have been using Saitek for more than 10 years..

if Saitek had only put a little more quality in, a couple pennies more plastic for strength, a few more pennies for more quality parts..

They are good, but me, not a very strong person must still take care to avoid breaking Saitek sticks and pedals, as the plastic is on the cheap side, and the knobs, sliders, pots, etc, start spiking and breaking in only a few short years with average use..

Thye are not the best, but not the worse, but it just frustrates me, that they held back on qaulity, when just a few more pennies could have made them a whole bunch better.

IMHO
