I'm trying to find the patch that makes the switch panel work in FS9 but google is not my friend with this one. All it pulls up is reviews that say there is a fix and the saitek website says there is a fix on their forums but damned if I can find it. Has anyone got a link? Thanks.

Problems
I have had my x52 for 3 years now. When I first got it, After about a few weeks of use I noticed that while in flight My aircraft, regardless of type, would start to roll to the right, I finally had enough and opened it up, I saw what I concider a Design flaw, Some of the Wires that run through the Metal Shaft down the Middle had become Stripped and were contacting the Metal Shaft Causing the Roll, Somewhat like the Early F-16`s back in the Day, with the Fly by wires becoming Stripped and Contacting the Metal causing them To Roll inverted and Crash, However it was an Easy fix, Some Electrical tape and It is Good to Go.

Shessi - It's a pro flight switch panel that was designed to work with FSX only but somebody came up with a software fix to work with FS9 but I can't find it.
Rattler - Funny you should say that. I use a thrustmaster T.flight stick had it 2 or 3 years not one problem but I use it with a saitek throttle quad and that's started playing up recently. The throttle axis keeps fluctuating and it's hard to land when you're going from idle to full afterburner and back in the space of 5 seconds
I'm about ready to take a screwdriver to it or a hammer depending on what's wrong with it.

I'm about ready to take a screwdriver to it or a hammer depending on what's wrong with it.Found it! A review from an online store had the link. It works like a dream. I had to get the radio and AP panels as well, I couldn't help myself . Some people have said it doesn't work properly with addon planes but I've just flown an IFR approach in an alphasim F-4 without touching the keyboard or mouse. It was a great flight and it only took me a few minutes to set everything up. I need to test it out with other addons but so far it works perfectly.
