(Fozzer knows a lot about Saitek, so maybe he will join in).

I've had a long, exhaustive think about this....

..and I have come to the conclusion that the answer is...

@Crash. I understand, and i'm sorry to hear about your problem

Don't get me wrong, I have been using Saitek products for the past ten years. I have a Saitek X-52 (second one actually), a Saitek yoke, throttle, prop and mixture controls and a Saitek trim wheel. I read a lot of forums about this 'tiny' problem and believe me, I'm not the only one. Even Saiteks own software can't assign the rudder to the buttons on my yoke, only through a rather complicated FSUIPC config it would be possible. It works. For about 10 seconds. Then FSX crashes. Now is that my problem? Probably. Could it have been avoided? Yes. By having a rudder that would work for everyone. Like all FS planes do since, I don't know, 1982...

Wish I could help, I don't (currently) have a yoke, but I do have a X52 setup, and matching Saitek Pro Pedals... love them actually... So my only advice would be, If you really DO care about matching your controls to your 172 (which is yoke & pedals) then just spend the money on PEDALS too! Believe me, they are WORTH IT!

ps - in hindsight... ignore this post if you don't have functioning legs, and my sincerest apologies!
