hey guys
I'm new to the x52 and have been searching for fixes to some things about it that bug me.
this is something i found on the saitek forum, this was written by someone else, but i'm sure they won't mind it being shared. Basically it swaps the assignments on the x52 so the clutch (i) button responds as a normal button, and the reset button (for the MFD) is now the clutch button.
i)open registry (start>run>regedit [press OK])
ii)search for "AviemoreCltBtn" without quotes with the following parameters:
"search for value" and "match the whole string only".
iii)By default the values are:
in decimal: 30 or hexadecimal:1e
change it to
in decimal: 29 or hexadecimal:1d
you may find multiple instances, so do it for every one
iv)Close the registry, unplug from USB and plug back the stick.
You are done. Now the clutch button is moved to RESET and "i button" is free to be assigned
Note that you won't be able to assign the i button in the SST software, but you will be able to in IL2/other games.
This works with the drivers 5.5.0.82, software version 4.3.3.2059 on winxp and server 2003, vista I have no idea.
Hope that is of some help to someone.

Disclaimer! this works for me, and the person who posted it. Changing settings in the registry has its dangers, so be careful - and any problems... I can't take responsibility for, and wouldn't know how to fix - you could make a back up of the registry first? (i didn't)
