Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro Flight 3M System with Metal Part Gas Control and Simulation Joystick, LCD Display, Dual Suspension, Illuminated Buttons, 2 USB Connections - Black

Product Information

Spring is SUPER loose, and I saw somewhere that it supposedly had a way to tighten the spring built in, but no. Saitek’s X52 defines precise flight simulator operation, employing a multifunction LCD for easy access to your radio stack navigation in Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X. 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. Win 7 by itself does a great job of configuring the X52 Pro system as soon as you plug it into a usb port.

Upgraded multi-function LCD shows in-game data in real-time, new precision dual-spring centering mechanism features a metal cone, and an all-new look is adorned with refined materials to go that extra mile.I've also just noticed that the list of available downloads is haphazard to say the least, and doesn't put the newest versions at the top as you'd expect.

Centers perfect, it's sensitive without being to sensitive, works well for both fs9 and fsx, plus various combat simulators. The system tray icon should now have a green backgound, and the MFD should say something new, depending on the profile.As for thrusters, I put vertical and horizontal on the hat on the back of the throttle, and In landing mode, have fore/aft and a second mapping of left/right thrusters on the pov hat just above the ‘C’ button.

No need to fret over their software unless you like spending a lot of time trying to get it all to work. Saitek makes great products that's why I bought this but they need to become fully MAC compatible and X plane compatible.

And the X52 has even TWO triggers made of quality metal, with the upper one being a two-stage trigger. I donwloaded the Software as recommended by Logitech and this seemd to do nothing other than reboot my PC. And to promote maximum comfort during long flights, the joystick's handle also features contours which harmonize with your digits. Detents (physical markings indicating where a certain action activates) simplify control of your craft's idle, afterburners and reverse thrusters.

I have read many reviews and honestly I have never had any of the problems some people have mentioned. My last gripe is with the handle adjustment, which allows you to adjust the handle guard on the stick to accommodate different hand widths. It’s specific purpose is to meet or exceed the demands of the best space and flight simulator pilots. They don’t come with instructions but VKB have a bunch of videos on Youtube that detail how to set them up. I would like to have seen a power button for entire setup, since the lights can be both impressive and distracting if they are left hooked up to the computer while not in use.I have the X52 Profiler software downloaded from the Logitech site, but do you have links to the Logitech Controller Programming software ?
