I use the x-45 and I love it. I can post a rundown of my assignment
settings if anyone is interested. I do not use any "profiles" when
playing
flight sim. (I do use profiles for other games though) I just leave the
joystick's direct x assignments alone and assign functions from within
FS2004 itself. I also use ch usb pedals

Hi. Does anyone have the Saitek X45 Joystick and Throttle
combination.

Yes

it at Best Buy recently. Are you happy with it. Can you suggest
assignments for it's numerous buttons and controls? Should I keep it
or
return it?


Why would you want to return a perfectly good working joystick ? Why
buy
it
if you didnt want it ?

For what its worth im very happy with mine althoug hi preferred the X36
(nicely colour, less annoying LEDs). I dont use many of the button
combinations, the only really useful ones i set are the thumbwheel
rotary
for elevator trim and the forefinger 4 way had on the throttle for
rudder
trim.

On that subject a rant, WHEN will MS enable me to set the rudder trim to
a
rotary wheel ! The elevator is great, surely they should give us rudder
too.
