I don't think even Saitek can be sure what the pins on the X36F do anymore. Development on that device was discontinued a decade ago. It uses a bizarre combination of serial port, keyboard port, and game port connections in order to communicate with a driver that runs only on the Windows 98 operating system.
The only way I know of to connect it to an IFI Operator Interface joystick port (without ripping the guts out of the joystick and rewiring it as a simpler 15-pin game port device) is to also use an X36T USB throttle control and a Chicklet USB-to-joystick-port converter. You might get lucky and find that it works as an Aviator or ST290, but you more likely will have to pay for the Chicklet to be reprogrammed to recognize the X36 system.
