The link that Skymaster posted is what you need (il2joycontrol). Especially for the x52, it will allow you to adjust all the different axis assigned in the game: including the trim wheels, slider and mouse wheel 8) The joystick axis being the most important - also I would highly recommend against disabling the rudder as someone else advised :? while using it smoothly takes practice, it is an absolutely essential part of you aircraft... and using buttons just aren't an option.

I'm not at my home pc right now, but when I to it I'll post the stick settings I have found to be the smoothest on the x52 so far, I found it to be very different from my previous stick.

Good luck, and happy flying
