Long time owner of the x52 (until recenty…donated it to a wingie). However, the x52 sensitivity is can be modded to have extremely precise movement. Quite easy to mod as well. Just do a search on YouTube for the mod. I had mine to the level where any fine/precise movement was only a thought and the jet reacted with such fine movement.
Definatly an option. I just cant fly to save my … in certain situations-such as air refueling. The deadzones are so bad that i cant keep the jet stable long enought to connect longer than a couple seconds. Fine adjustments just dont happen. Ill take a look at the mods.
