I got a new Saitek x52 joystick and throttle. This thing is LOADED with features.

Currently, I'm brainstorming different features I would want to build into a controller profile for this game.

For example:

Scenario - Warhead Launch on Player During Dogfight

On joystick button hold:
1. Save current target in memory (Shift-F7)
2. Key to Target on Missile (Space)
3. Boost shields from laser banks 3 times (not sure...)

On joystick button release:
1. Recall previous target (F7)

I've also configured a thumb slider with shield settings, a mode selector which issues strings of commands to set energy settings, customized throttle settings, and hyperdrive safety switch.

Frankly speaking, the joystick now has a preflight checklist.

Any ideas on other ways to configure this baby?
