Brief description of the issue:

A bug with FS communicating with Saitek X52 Flight Controllers

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

I will try to do a video of jerking uncontrollable throttle, at later time.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Unable to take off ANY AIRCRAFT because of juddering throttle control
The throttle keeps juddering unable to take-off any aircraft or helicopter. The top pinky button on the X52 has never been recognised by FS. Win11 controller setup, ALL controls and buttons work fine. The Saitek X52 works fine with all controls and buttons in IPAC AeroFly Flightsim. The only USB connections are keyboard, mouse and Saitek X52. NO OTHER USB DEVICES CONNECTED. This bug has been going on and re-occuring for years. In my view FS is not fit for purpose, and have to use IPACS AeroFly Flightsim. What a shame!

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

i9-11900K, 32GB Ram, RTX3090, 2TB Gen4 SSD, 1000w PSU,

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

No such issues for me with X52 (see my profile for my setup/config).
Recommend OP check that ALL pilot assist are off and flight model set to ‘Modern’.
Also recommend OP temporarily disconnect keyboard before advancing throttles to exclude possible F key issues.
