About this deal

Detents – physical markings indicating where a certain action takes places – simplify control of your plane's idle and reverse thrusters.

In particuar, the main shaft of the stick seems slightly loose in the collar that it rides in, giving quite a few mm of uncentered stick wobble. These things have been used and abused daily since 2007 with nearly 10,000 hours of flying including kids and grand-kids slamming them around. Saitek's X52 defines precise flight simulator operation, employing a multifunction LCD for easy access to an astounding 282 programmable commands. Yet another customisable feature found on X52 Pro, a tension adjustment dial lets you change the throttle's resistance to suit the way you fly. This can lead to scratches on the plastic surface or even small dents in the thin aluminium adornments placed all over throttle quadrant and joystick when pushing against the hard edges of the cardboard.However, one MUST note, this is the FIRST Joy Stick I have ever owned that was susceptable to static discharges. Non-contact technology on the X and Y axes, along with constant spring force, enhance control while increasing durability. has given up the ghost, the thrust lever is only wobbling around like crazy (or better the signals this controller gives to the computer make the thrust go up and down the whole time) but what´s even worse: The pedals (when rotating the stick to the left or right) are also wobbling around like crazy, even when the joystick is fully centered - and this makes especially smaller planes almost unflyable, and ends many starts or landings in a bad way.

I was hoping that would work with MS Flight Sim when it launches next month but there's no way to install the plug-in without the software.Even more beneficial is the ability to directly manipulate radio stack information in FSX, X-Plane, Prepar3D, and most flight simulation software. All of them also use these annoying fake-switches that always re-center, and not real switches that stay in the switched up or down position (like for example the overhead panel landing light switches, or the switches in a real F-16. I have the X52 Profiler software downloaded from the Logitech site, but do you have links to the Logitech Controller Programming software ? Realism in Lighting and In-Game Data Illuminated critical buttons on the stick and throttle let you know where to press when time is of the essence.

The only problem with this stick is that, a couple of the buttons are losing the paint already, but it doesn't effect how it works. The absolute smoothness of the joystick and the buttery soft movement of the thruster changed the way I play flight simulators. SCS Global Services is a global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability verification, certification, auditing, testing and standards development. And the X52 has even TWO triggers made of quality metal, with the upper one being a two-stage trigger.

It has a two-spring system with almost no resistance around the center but with a resistance going stronger when making bigger movements. The X56 feels a bit more rugged, as two throttles and you can change the spring for the joystick or remove it for helicopters so I prefer it over the X52. I need a hyper-precise throttle quadrant to especially fly the CRJ700 which has no auto-thrust, and therefore N1 must be able to be set to the number.

I have had an original CH yoke and I now use the CH Eclipse and CH rudder pedals in my main sim setup in my basement and even though they are great yokes, I can fly more precise with the X52 Pro. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you're in the market for a good joystick, go ahead and spend the extra money if you have it and get the X-52 Pro. What I especially like is the fact that like in an Airbus cockpit the position of the throttle is illuminated, and it lights up red when the afterburner detent kicks in and the afterburner shuts on. After that, ensure you have started both software, looking in the corner by the clock, you should have the controller logo there as i do (looking at image " Saitek unmarked.

And for power users, a downloadable Software Development Kit allows you to create your own interactions for the multi-function LCD display. The only problem I have encountered to date is the MFD (Multi-function display) on the throttle stick. The second negative aspect is that the Joystick is not packed in styrofoam but in some stiff cardboard box material.
