As the X45 is probably quite similar to my X36 (internally), there might
be a problem to use analog pedals with it, too.

For X36 there is a modified driver on http://www.racesimcentral.net/~stickworks/swdownld.html
(X36DRV04.ZIP). I still didn't try it, the needed steps to use it are sounding
a little ***. Please, let me know, if the X45 works w/ the pedals. Maybe Saitek
fixed their drivers... ;)

  Careful, don't Francois going on Stanley<G>  And fwiw, IL-2 is quite
possibly the best flight sim of all time IMO, including Falcon 4.0.

The allusion had a purpose, considering that IL-2/Ghost Recon looks to be
masterpieces (like Kubrick's work) and that Warner Bros. (like Ubisoft) is
now a shitty-arse producing companies hated by many   ;)

Warner was able to mess up his work after his death, it's a shame (it's like
not patching F1RC when they released the DVD of Eyes Wide Shut still
censored).  Oh hehehe more connections, more Ubi bashing.  You know, I
haven't done much bashing on them for a while :)

ps: the "real" movie to watch of course is Episode II   ;-D
