Using 2 Saitek X52 throttles

I'M using 2 X52 throttles and a MSWFF pro2 as the controls.

Thy work good together after hours of getting the buttons and sliders to work and where I want them.

There are some of the control buttons you can use twice to save buttons.
I have the inside view and start engines on the same button. You can do this with other buttons to.

The reason I set up the 2 throttles was to try and take off in the BlenheimMkI.

This helps but its still very hard to take off in this plane. Has to be a bug.

I have got to where I let the plane get started on auto pilot the take over the controls going down the runway. Yes I let my co-pilot start the take off.

I have also found that you can use the prop pitch to control your air speed while truing down the throttles after your in flight.

I'm not able to get bombs in the BlenheimMkI to show up or drop. I would have to say this is a bug also.

Other then this the aircraft is fun to fly.

Yes I would have to say that the bomb loads not working shows that the plane not taking off like it should is also a bug that will be fixed.

Anyway the using of the 2 X52 throttles along with the MSWEE pro2 works in CLoD and makes the sim more fun to fly.

I could never figure out how to set up and use the buttons on my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick with Il 2.. The game recognizes the stick easy enough and calibtates it easy enough, pitch, yaw, throttle, just the stick functions by default but I can't access anything in controls to choose the buttons. What is the secret because I must be pretty ignorant.
