I should look it up but I'm sure you already know, does the x52 have a
twist grip function for rudder control? If you can't get pedals yet you
at least need some kind of rudder control for the helicopters at least.
I say that and I have to add, I use the CH Yoke for every aircraft
(until I can get my helo chair setup with collective completed) I don't
touch the pedals at all unless I'm hovering around an airport. The sim
helicopter does not fly like the real thing (Surprise!) and you can fly
and even land without touching the pedals. Also if I'm flying a
helicopter with wheels, I can land and get around an airport fine
without using my pedals. Once they get correct flight responses in the
sim helos you will then have to have pedals (or the twist grip in a stick)
