I just ordered a X45 on ebay (I simply cannot afford better.) and I was wondering if there was a good set of profiles for DCS Black Shark and DCS A-10C? perhaps even LOMAC?

I just wanna be ready when the thing comes in the mail, never owned a HOTAS before and it would be great for some help with initial setup.


Thanks in advance.

X45 was the last decent Saitek stick IMO, you'll like it and find sims so much easier once you get it sorted with profiles. No doubt someone will come on say the X36 was the las decent one lol.

I had one and lasted me ages with no problems but have had loads of problems with X52 Pro's in the past.

Any tips for setup that you found useful?

I guess I just need a setup that is a good start so that I can determine what works for me and what does not.

It was years ago when I had one so I cannot remember how I set up anything but the software is very easy to use to make your own or you could PM one of these guys to see where they got theirs from http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3481542/Saitek_X45_profile_not_recogni.html#Post3481542
