I used to have my x-45 in mode setup like what you have there.
I often found my self once basically remembering it all, but during transitions from battle -bombing-landing etc. being in the wrong mode and causing myself havoc.
That's why I have three sticks and the keyboard now and they are all labeled. So I only have one Mode LOL
I've been lucky and keeping my eyes open over the years and collected used ones, for pennies on the dollar.
MFFB $13-$25 and I have three now collected, and two for spares.
X-45 $13 spare in closet and my original one still in use it was $70 IIRC
X-52 $13 in use
Ch pedals $120 IIRRC
G15 $50 IIRC
TrackIr 3pro $130 purchased it new myself
My Ch pedals, and and the X-45, and Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard are the only things that were purchased new, but I got them as Christmas Gifts, so in a way it felt like I didn't pay for them
