Saitek X52 Pro Throttle problem

You have probably fixed this by now but the problem won’t be the joystick. The joystick sends information to the game as x, y, z values (which the game knows how to read and what axis they come from and then in the game configuration settings, the settings chosen pass the axis values to the function specified, i.e throttle, left, right, up, down, sideways or whatever the game offers you in its choice field. Check your game settings and see what each axis is matched/linked/set to. Good luck to anyone else who reads this answer.
