How is the deadzone for FSX? (deadzone is the region that the joystick can physically move without registering any change)

its very responsive, once u move it, it moves your aircraft...hope this helps :)

Hmmm I can't say anything for the ps4 version cause I only have the xbone, but the only bug I've encountered that's rather annoying is the start menu opening by itself while I'm free driving or in a race, other than that it's been pretty good and fun!

Sidewinder is the best joystick I tried. I have 4 of them. I even had the force feedback version which does NOT have Win XP nor Win7 drivers. The USB sidewinders last forever. Also - Flight Simulator 1 2 and 3 do NOT work in Win7 - you have to stop at WinXP for those.

This switch panel now works in X-Plane 10, all versions of FSX, and in Prepar3d V2.x.The Saitek drivers are DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST.There are specific alternate drivers for X-Plane 10.For FSX and Prepar3d V2.x, use SPAD & FSUIPC to control them.

I just tried it...it goes to Launchpad. I think all of mine work the same. I rarely use those keys, though. F3 goes to mission control, BTW.

I have used it with the Suncom F-15 Talon with Throttle, and it works great. Just need to make sure you have the switch set correctly for 3 or 4 analog inputs, and your throttle should work fine. It appears to accept all of the normal joystick port buttons, so it should work with the buttons also. I bought 2 so that I can use the rudder pedals I have also, and they work together just fine. I am running them on Windows 7 with no problem.

yes its the best joystick because of the magnets it never needs calibration the only week point would be the hat switch i have had mine for a very longtime and game nightly.in a squad on aces high.

You can't use this for FPS. You cannot press both the left and right mouse button to zoom for aiming and then shoot. It doesn't have programmable buttons either because it's all touch!

It comes with programmable software installed on the joystick itself, so you can custom program each and every button to do whatever you want. So while it is geared towards flight control, I'm sure you can get it to do much more on other games.

Yes, it is Control, Fn and 2/F2. It do not find it really difficult, I tend to use my left hand for Control and my right for the Fn. Then I press 2/F2. The F6-F9 are a bit harder with Control or (specifically) left Alt, but only slightly.

It works flawlessly, not considering some bugs in game itself.If dx9 problem occurs, refer to http://steamcommunity.com/app/47810/discussions/0/558751812749741621/I didn't have such problem but some does.Enjoy!

It just increases the range of your system. It doesn't change anything with the zones. You'd probably need a second controller for that.

I used my Ch eclipse with PC - useing Fsx and I have used it with xplane , now using with Mac I would go to the ch products site just to make sure they support the Mac system you have. Play it safe. I do remember when I uses it with xplane I had to do a lot of experimenting with assigning buttons the proper things I wanted them to do. Well I hope that helps good luck my friend

Yes, I have a X52 that the joystick went bad with and so I bought a CH Fighterstick and it works fine. The only issue is that without the X52 joystick, you obviously can't clutch and change modes with the X52 throttle. Incidentally I like the CH stick a lot better; it's more precise and a lot less jittery than the X52 stick.

Can. In Elite Dangerous it operates as a Throttle as that's what whatever system detects the joystick flags it as. I disabled stick throttle as it was an unknown vector in my gameplay.

Elite Dangerous was my primary reason for buying this joystick. It works very well and has increased my enjoyment of the game immensely, compared to my std joystick plus keyboard I used prior to the X52. ED comes with a controller profile for the X52 specifically and since patch 1.03 (currently up to 1.04) has had icons for each button on the X52 beside the controls in the setup screen, making it even easier to customise. There are discussions on the X52 in the Elite Dangerous forums where you can get a lot of advice and help ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=26644&page;=1 is one example).Definitely my best buy for Elite Dangerous.

I depends on the game. If I recall Forza 3 did not allow you to shift gears at all.
