Thanks for your advices; I use my Saitek with airplanes with no problem. I start the helicopters with the CABRI. I saw on the forums that it was much more subtle with the joystick. The purpose of my post is to find out if any simers use the Saitek X52Pro with the Cabri and then how they programmed the controls. I think that for the helicopter flight I will have to equip myself with new equipment.
