Give me a quick review of your flight controls:

I use a MSFF2 with a Saitek x-45 combo.

I hace ch yoke and pedals. One problem with my Yoke is the my monting thread stripped. so I can only lock one side now. pretty sad. 250 bucks pretty much wasted because of 1 bolt. sigh

Just a quick update.  I went ahead and re purchased the Saitek set, this time getting the pedals too, along with the Yoke and throttles, and I'm really happy with it for the most part.  The only part I'm having trouble with is the brakes.  I'm not at home and someone else seems to have had the same problem and fixed it, so I'll try that, but my breaks are being applied all the time and I can't quite figure out why.

Blazer,

You need to go into your control setting in FS, and find the setting for the toe brakes under control axis', you must set the null zone to zero, and the sensitivity as high as it will go, this should cure your problem. If it does not, try checking the tick box that says "reverse axis".

hey, it was me with the issue earlier and this fix works perfectly. you will be much happier once that is sorted out.  ;)

My trusty Saitek Cyborg Eve Force, satisfies all my daily flying requirements for all my fixed wing, and flex wing, aircraft.

It has everything I need to control my aircraft...and costs the Princely sum of

Logitech 3D Extreme Pro flightstick; Microsoft Intellipoint optical trackball (had it for years). And a trusty PS2 keyboard...

Its a funny old do...

I've recently tried Sim Flying with a Yoke and Pedals (borrowed)...

...and my usual, trusty Flight, Twist, Joystick...

..and do you know what...for cheapness, ie:low cost, and simplicity...I find my "point and fly" Twist Joystick with Throttle,

[HarvesteR]

My X52 Pro and pedals are the high point of my whole setup, notwithstanding the fact that i have a triple head 2 go on a core i7 system  :D ...they are THAT good

now i should only find the time (and energy) to build me a supporting mount to hold the stick and throttle in place... i currently have a stack of objects to put the stick on at a comfortable height... namely the trash bin, a PSU box and a hard cover book on 3D programming  ;D

the throttle unit is on a little table-like piece of furniture, but that must be addressed too since it keeps sliding back and forth ...once the rubber grips get dirty they start sliding... and that applies for the rudder as well...

or maybe i should just clean the floor now  ::)

Cheers

Of course you need a way to pitch and roll but those rudder pedals have to be the olive in the martini - that final touch.

[HarvesteR]

I ordered my pedals along with the stick, so I never really knew how the X52 twist grip feels for rudder control...

when I first got it, I realized that it would be necessary to relearn to fly all over again with the pedals, so to remove my reflex of "ruddering" with my right hand, I mapped the twist grip to do nothing more than look left / right... it took some getting used to at first... I often found myself looking right when i wanted to TURN right

Sounds like you have TrakIR.

I like the Saitek stuff!

Started out with a ST90, then upped to the X52 Pro.
