Hi mrwatty. about manually selecting the altitude bug. how do u increase or decrease it once u have selected it. i've been trying to map the increase and decrease buttons to my joystick buttons but i cant seem to find what its listed as.
Thanks
mrwatty:
The Toggle buttons on the Throttle unit (T1,T2,T3) work really well for me for the autpilot stuff. I did it by mapping the T1 toggle button to = (increase selection) on the up button and - (decrease selection) on the down button. I also mapped T3 down button to CTRL+SHIFT+H (heading bug select) and T3 up to CTRL+SHIFT+Z (altitude bug select). Then you can just select either the heading or altitude bugs on T3 and use T1 to alter the value. I use T2 up and down mapped to the GPS zoom in and out.

So what are the increase altitude and decrease altitude buttons listed as in the Controls> Buttons list?

I have the X52 Pro and the with the beta drivers this is automatically done (http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers2.asp), not sure about the X52 non-pro (they are a completely different unit as far as profiles and drivers!!!).
Anyway, assuming you do have the information on the display, the way to get to the autopilot settings is to scroll the left hand black wheel below the display (Pg.up and down) until you see a page showing something like ALT 00000 and VS 00000, to the right of the display by the ALT 00000 there is a small <, push the right hand black wheel to change the cursor to << then you can scroll the wheel up and down to change the autopilot altitude, finally push the right hand wheel again to enter it.
Hope this makes sense, give me a shout if I'm not.

Thanks for the info 8) unfortunatly "for me " I have the X-52 non-pro and apparently there is no way to change the display on the throttle to match the X-52 pro :'(

So, I read, and am able to use, the COM features, but haven't figured out how to dial in NAV freq, yet. In other words, if I want to dial in an ILS freq, so that I may shoot that approach, how is it done?
