note from JLM

[JLM]

I recently damaged (beyond repair) the connector cable that connects the Saitek X-52 throttle to the joystick. One of the pins inside on one end of the connector plug broke off so the joystick won't work. So I can't play anything

You can use the keyboard to play...

[JLM]

I have tried that,...........too hard

I also just found a replacement cable, I'll be back on soon.

FYI: I use a Logictec Wingman game pad (USB) for mine and seems to work just fine.

I have a Thrustmaster Cougar/HOTAS but that's just too bulky.

That Thrustmaster has to be the closest to a real shuttle stick out there...

[JLM]

I do have another stick, it's the Saitek ST290 Pro (USB). I don't really like using it because I find it uncomfortable to use, but that is what I'm using right now.

I just got my replacement cable today!
