Why do I fly backwards when I takeoff. Using Saitek X52 with the slider for collective,doesn't seem very accurate.You are obviously an expert,what am I doing wrong.Fixed wing aircraft ,no problem but this is difficult!!!!!!

The newer version of it is the Saitek X52. I also use a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. <br /><br />Here's how I have mine setup.<br /><b>X-45 Stick</b><br />Hat switch 1: Camera view<br />Hat switch 2: HMS toggle / Select cannon / Select inboard pylons / Select outboard pylons<br />Btn 1: Fire cannon<br />Btn 2: Lock target<br />Btn 3: Flares<br />Btn 4: Release weapons (missiles/rockets/bombs)<br />Btn 7: Auto Hover<br />Btn 8: Uncage Shkval<br /><br /><b>X-45 Throttle</b><br />Btn POV1 (mini hat switch): Slew Shkval<br />Btn 5: Trim<br />Btn 6: Trim reset<br />Joy Slider2 (rotary): View zoom<br />Btn 19/20/21/22 (4-way switch): Head-on airborne target / Ground moving target / Auto turn-on target / Airborne target<br />Rudder rocker: rudder<br /><br /><b>G15 Keyboard</b><br />G7/G8/G10/G11: Autopilot buttons (BANK / HDG / PITCH / ALT)<br />G9: Master Arm<br />G12: Laser Standby<br />G13: Datalink - Vehicle target<br />G14: Datalink - AAA target<br />G15: Datalink - Other target<br />G16: Datalink - Select Wingman #2<br />G17: Datalink - Select All Wingmen<br />G18: Datalink - Memory / Transmit <br /><br />Sven: Oops. I think I got my FS2004 and FSX wires crossed on the B777 thing. <br /><br />I've never been one for helo sims either. I hated flying helos in MSFS as I could never land or hover them properly. I just lost patience and stuck to my fixed-wing aircraft.<br /><br />I wonder how well I would do in them now after so much time flying DCS:BS.Mark Rossmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357616311224328501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35762982.post-30940021327486265232009-06-09T23:56:50.454-04:002009-06-09T23:56:50.454-04:00Looks like an impressive sim, too bad I've nev...Looks like an impressive sim, too bad I've never been one for helicopter sims. Fixed wing all the way for me. :)<br /><br />One small nitpick: FSX, unlike its older brother FS2004, does not include a 777. The 737 and 747 are the only commercial Boeings included.<br /><br />And it's a continual disappointment that there's no good 777 add-on for FSX either; sure, Wilco made one, but it's absolutely terrible (VC looks terrible, flight model is bad, autopilot is retarded, FMC is terribly buggy, documentation is non-existent). I'd kill for a 777 in FSX with the level of quality of the PMDG 747 or LDS 767. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346145219789801199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35762982.post-25367860514373030832009-06-09T21:50:24.012-04:002009-06-09T21:50:24.012-04:00You just using a regular joystick?
