First of all, this is guide FROM NEWBE TO NEWBE players. Just for sake of sparing them few hours of configuration and frustration. I want it to be in KISS. style.

0-5% is for speed brakes retract and 95-100% is for speed brakes extend. However, this is employed with a CONSTANT KEY PRESS! ALWAYS UNLOAD/CLEAR THE PROFILE BEFORE CLOSING THE SAITEK PROFILER SOFTWARE!!! License: Freeware - Free version, Unlimited distribution; Language: English; Size:.

INTODUCTION Keep in mind that: 1. Most of those info can be used in most of the joysticks, but this guide is FOR X52 SAITEK. Not PRO one ( finally! I'm not experienced joystick player, I've just made it work without crashing game/comp/other (and it's not that obvious as I thought when tried first time plaing with it). And this is mainly guide HOW TO MAKE IT STABLE. I've gathered information mainly from this forum, and all glory goes to: a ) and his guide: b ) and his guide: c ) players that were willing to share their experience.

You read them, you know almost everything. I've gathered all info in one place.

It's Saitek X52 freshly installed guide. I didn't mod it, change values, sensitivity, or any other stuff. HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE THROUGH Saitek X52 (non pro) 1. Yes, install your joystick and SST. Matter of fact just read 3a of Introduction, and there is nice info about it. You go website, download both files. I'll just skip it.

I've ment: Configuration IN GAME. After you installed this S.t, I've ment: your super-shiny-favorite joystick you've probably saw this. And you are happy!

Everithing is working, everything is nice, it's smooth, sooo many buttons, and they are working, clicking, shining and all that coolness on your desktop. You're so happy that you want to jump into the game and test it. First step you will have to do is to. DELETE ALL JOY BUTTONS IN GAMEOPTIONS.

How do you do that? TIP: you can delete buttons by replacing them one by one, with for example fire button(it can be any button). You double click 'TURN LEFT' - fire button, double click 'TURN RIGHT'-fire button, 'SHOW MAP'-fire button. There, i've just saved you 15 min of annoying monologe 'why can't I delete this button?! For god sake.' You can achive the same by editing some actionmap.xml with notepad and assign.

Reason for all of this is to be sure that there is no conflict between game and SST (Saitek Smart Technology - not that smart AT ALL). Can you assign one, tiny, little button to one unimportant option in game? I've just saved you few hours of testing and frustration 'why my joystick crashed'. Now, last 3 positions you CAN assign.

This is: Torso Twist & Pitch (joystick), and Trottle. It should look like this: KEYS. Editing user.cfg This is combination of both guides, and the most 'fresh' and unexplored area. How to edit them?

Go 3a/3b of Introduction for more info. TIP: use notepad for ALL editing in this guide (alter program if you know why notepad, if you don't: cat image) Main body I've taken from but I've couldn't set up right sensitivity, so I took two lines from cljoystickgain = 8 cljoysticksensitivity = 0.75 and changed them into 13 and 1.25 (one player was playing on this settings). This settings are good enough for long range shots and CC. For now MY X52 user.cfg (update after 19.March.2013). MWO Joystick config setting for user.cfg Version:Openbeta1.0.0 by EternalCore - Last Update: Nov 4th 2012 cljoystickgain = 13 cljoysticksensitivity = 1.25 cljoystickinvertpitch = 1 //Sets the y-axis(aka Pitch) in the right direction;cljoystickinvertyaw = 1 //Sets the x-axis(aka yaw) in the right direction cljoystickinvertthrottle = 1 //makes the throttle work in the right direction. Cljoystickthrottlerange: I HIGHLY suggest you don't mess with this value. Changed it, from 0.1, to 0.9, to 0.09, and 0.01.

This is probably ON/OFF switch. You can't ajust your TROTTLE to be 30% backward, 70% foward. C ) backup, backup. Always backup your files.

Saitek X52 Profile SST I wanted to find some 'normal' x52 on web - I couldn't. So, I made my own. Importatn thing: probably it's not the most effective one, because it has few days of testing, and I'm not used to play with joystick. So best thing is to do it yourself (I don't know what is keysetup of advanced player because all of them have PRO model, and I hate them for that, I want it too.

Bas.rds) Tested few weeks - it's working good. Only one bug, that I can't fix (i've just adopted game-style).

Sometimes when legs turning AND constant fire (for example-Machine Gun) it stops turning. Some conflict. Just stop firing for 1 sec - conflict gone. Anyway I will try to 'sell you' my vision of setup, and by the way - I'm couting on some advanced player to maybe help me out optimise it. So, you have two options: A ) WAY OF THE SITH Open Notepad, make new file, copy code below, save it as.pr0 file.

Copy into C:UsersPublicDocumentsSaitek SD6 Profiles (default) and load it in SST or SST launcher. Throttle (image below) I don't have pedals, and the idea of joystick Z axis to turn was a bad one. Only solution was to assign left/right to the front POV. It's not very comfortable solution, finger may slip from this button, but I had no better idea how to turn, and in little practice - it's getting job done. Big buttons were great to override heat shutdown and powerdown.

Thumb button: Adv. I don't have one, but this is the button that should be pushed in 'calm' situations. Your hand is worried about throttle and left/right turs, and muscels (of my hand at least) were not very happy that they have to also push thumb-button.

Jump Jets - I don't have one, don't know is it good idea THROTTLE. B ) WAY OF THE BUDDA Open SST, lern it, adjust keys to your fit. Few VERY important tips when doing it by yourself. SST accepts 15 characters in key description. Program WON'T WARN YOU ABOUT IT (Bas.rds). Too long: crash.

Probably it won't fit in build-in throttle led-screen. Effect: buttons will stop to respond and there will be LAST PUSHED button on throttle screen. This is the bugged one.

Solution: unplug X52, plug again. Closing program won't help.

If computer starts to behave strange: restart. Rename little.= Most stupid example: SST has default name for Left Mouse Button. Yes, it's above 15 characters. You are given program that has in-build flaw right inside.=- 2. SST will probably crash if there is any, ANY conflict with in-game controls. No, he won't inform you about it. Avoid assigning same keys into different descriptions.

I'm not sure about it, because I had 15 charecters problem and button duplicate in the same time. TEST your profile on SST testing 'thing' (one of the tabs in SST). For example: there is 'Clutch button' on throttle with 'i' on it. In SST you can assign this key to do anything, but in reality: it has his own purpose of changing profiles or something. It was working on SST but in test - it did nothing.

I did managed somehow to assign it (earlier) to the game options, but it made a conflict, bla bla bla, crash. SST will crash anyway for some stupid reson, so RULE OF THUMB is: everything in SST or everything in game. This is my theory, so I won't die for it. I hope I've saved you some time.

I've spent 10h on lerning all of that ( mostly by shouting: wtf?! ) If I will come with some ideas (or I will steal them form someone - I'll post it, and claim as my own ) to this config - i'll update. Comment, advise, buy me a beer. Keep It Simple Stupid Edited by MadogPL, 20 March 2013 - 01:34 AM. It is supposed to be coming this month. I really hope so! I signed up for the closed beta because I loved to play Mech Warrior 2 in the 90's and was always sad no one of my friends wanted to play it in multiplayer with me.

A few years ago I bought a Saitek X52 for Mechwarrior 4 Free Edition. Which was fun for a while. Of course my onboard gfx couldn't handle Mechwarrior Online as well as I hoped (LOL) so a few days ago I bought a Radeon 7850 just for this game. (i usually only play on xbox360.

To bad the game wont come out for that) And my jaw almost dropped to the floor when I set up my Joystick and tried to move my legs left and right. You have to fix this (please)! Hey guys, im thinking of picking up the X52 Pro for MWO. Im curious as to the torso lock option, if you use it, and also how effective the stick is at aiming with the circle(arms) does the circle go all over or is it fairly steady?

Can you effectively use freelook to arm twist & shoot? You find you are able to be fairly precise with the stick vs the mouse? Im a long time joystick Mechhead, but havent had a stick in 5 years. I really want to get back on it, I love the saitek and the fact it has 3 axis for torso twist & turning all ont he stick, just trying to decide if it is worth the cash and how much my aim/control of the mechs arms might suffer, i use arm shots and freelook a lot, and want some idea of how it handles on this joystick. Edited by Colonel Pada Vinson, 05 July 2013 - 01:35 PM. If you want real answers to X52 Pro problems, MADOGPL has the answers.

They work and very well. This company should be paying him for his work.

I do say that once you have cleared your bindings leave the last reverse throttle their. Everything you want to do can then be put into the MWO bindings. I will be putting it on photo bucket so you can see it soon. FANTASTIC work DOG meow.

Use the after march user.cfg file latch under notepad all files. Then drag and drop easy. Targeting is much closer to mouse. Edited by shotokan5, 26 September 2013 - 10:59 AM. I'm definitely going to be giving this a go. I have several problems with my hands (Too much gaming) so I have been using 2 joysticks (A logitech and a Cyborg) to play a little game called Hawken for months, and they serve me well.

(And it's a twitch based shooter to boot) I bought an X52 for Elite Dangerous and I am now certainly going to be giving this a go. (I am very new to MWO, haven't even done the tutorial yet as I've been waiting for a good setup. Never thought of checking the forums) I really hope I can play with the hotas as I am so used to it with the other game. I will also be using Voiceattack for all none combat operations such as switching on Heat vision etc and that is an excellent programme.

One thing I don't get, is, that in Hawken I use one stick for look and aim and one for moving the mech (Including turning) so I'm unsure how the left hand controller will work other than for F/B movement. Looking forward to giving this a whirl and joining the MWO community.

First time posting on the site. Been wanting to play for a LONG time now. I am trying desperately to get the game to work with my X-52. I have been reading the forums and quite honestly do not see a complete set of instructions on how to do so. What I am looking for is a SIMPLE and COMPLETE set of instructions on what I need to do to make the game work with the X-52. And if possible a profile (base line) to load into the Saitek software if necessary. Please, don't just say to read all of the scattered and confusing postings.been there, done that.

I have tried repeatedly to play the game using the mouse and WASD keys, but its a no go. I am to old school.

I need to use the stick and throttle. Sincerely Ken Packhntr.

The MFD screen, first introduced on the X52 Flight Controller, is now interactive. Now you can display important in-game information such as the Radio Stack and interact with your games directly. Shipping with support for Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X, there’s also a Software Development Kit (SDK) included which allows budding programmers to create interactions with their own favourite games. See what’s been created already on our forum. Chose between night-friendly red, green or amber illumination for the different LED buttons on the controller.

Using the SDK, you can also program the LEDs to react to conditions in your game such as flashing red during a stall or changing colour when pressed. Now there’s a huge number of possibilities for even greater interaction between your controller and the simulation. New metal parts increase durability and the unique dual-spring mechanism provides a progressive spring force on the stick’s movement, making it more resistant the further you move it from centre. The X52 Pro uses the same magnetic hall sensor, non-contact technology as the X52 but we’ve doubled the number of sensors to improve response. The smooth movement and enhanced control give you unparalleled accuracy and bring you even closer to reality.

However, the new one seems to have a soft spring design and so it tends to have a slight bit of play in the center; therefore, I have to unplug it when not in use because it interferes with other games. I bought another Saitek vs.

A yoke due to the versatility of all the programmable buttons on the flight sticks, but I think Saitek needs to re-engineer the spring tension design from scratch. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, February 27, 2017 Saitek X52 Pro by A Customer from Austin TX USA Pros: Looks far better than regular X52 Cons: Wont work on PS3 Review: Works great on PC but sadly not on PS3. Don't own a PS4 so I cannot say if I works on that system. Was this Review Helpful to you? Thursday, May 26, 2016 10 Years of Hard Use by cg2020cg from New Smyrna Beach, FL Pros: Don't need calibrated but once per year & that only takes me 5 minutes Cons: Some lights out after 10,000 hours and 10 years and some buttons don't function and lights don't light anymore Review: I have had the X52's for nearly 10 years.

It's definitely time to replace, but I will simply buy the 'Pro's' again. 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. The un-useable buttons and missing pieces are from several residential moves and improper care during those moves. Nothing has worked for me better with so much use and still useable for all necessary functions. When something breaks-down like a switch or light,I simply program another to do the same job!

They are fully functional even so. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, August 24, 2015 by Thomas from Dawson NE USA Cons: Not enough buttons. Review: I really like this.

In fact it's my second one. Wore the first one out.

Centers perfect, it's sensitive without being to sensitive, works well for both fs9 and fsx, plus various combat simulators. Very happy camper. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, July 13, 2015 Do like the controls by Steve from Bucyrus OH USA Pros: Looks and feels great, Smooth action allong the axis when flying. Cons: The software for it is confusing. The website for Saitez is not much help Review: The controls themselves seem to work ok. The software for them is kin of is lacking at best. The website for support is not that great either.

Wednesday, June 03, 2015 Solid control, software needs updating. By ron from Reno NV USA Pros: price, built solidly Cons: progrmming software and manuals Review: I think it is a good system, but for a beginner as for myself a little overwhelming.

I bought it for Star Citizen and my first PC flight game. I think the programming guides could be written a little more clearer, there are some third party ones on web done better for us newbies, and software needs to be updated so more friendlier for windows v8.0. I actually found an html output that was written by someone else and used it, would have been nice if the programming software could out put an html file, or just a seed file came with it. So not real sure if it was the compatibility of the game to x52 pro and drivers or what but, seems solidly built and no problems mechanically with the controls. Worked good with Microsoft flight sim.

Saturday, April 18, 2015 Solid controls, sensitive and repeatable by A Customer from Tucson AZ USA Pros: Good feel, lots of buttons Cons: Very sensitive to electrostatic discharge Review: Good solid control system.

I use on Elite Dangerous where the mode button controls are not supported. The only issue I have had is the trigger buttons are a direct to short circuit for static sparks.

A spark completely resets the profiles. I have fried at least one of the USB ports on the computer. I have had to keep a water spray bottle near the computer to knock down static.

Wednesday, April 15, 2015 A Must Have by John from Staten Island NY USA Pros: Great looks, great handling Cons: buttons on LCD not programmable Review: This HOTAS setup is really great.

I felt all the buttons were in the right place. I like the fact you can program them anyway you want plus change the colors of the LEDs individually. I us it to play Elite Dangerous. And every control is on the joystick and throttle. I really bang it around a lot and it seems to be putting up with the abuse. I do wish the buttons on the LCD screen were programmable.

Also every now and then the joystick needs a shot of WD40 Was this Review Helpful to you? Monday, February 16, 2015 Good Hotas by Christopher from Adairsville GA USA Pros: Control Cons: some buttons losing paint Review: 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.

Review: I purchased this back when it was only 150$. I see the price has jumped a bit, but I would still pay the current price.

Works great for Star citizen and a few older flight sims I use. Programmable buttons and profiles are a snap to setup.

By A Customer from Bend OR USA Pros: Great motion and accuracy Cons: Location of PS2 cable that plugs into the throttle Review: Have used the stick in Elite Dangerous for a little, but compared to my previous stick the movement is very smooth and accurate. The throttle has a great smooth motion and the buttons are very nicely placed. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Good Product by Thomas from Salt Lake City UT USA Pros: Good Quality Cons: Not the best for X plane and Mac's Review: I thought did a lot of research on this product for use on my system (MAC) and knew that several functions were not compatible with MAC and but purchased it. After using it awhile I wish there were a few more switches as opposed to wheels and buttons. Quality is great but I should have done more research.

Not the best for Mac and X plane. Saitek makes great products that's why I bought this but they need to become fully MAC compatible and compatible. Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Great setup for the money, has flaws by Ryan from Chelmsford MA USA Pros: Lights, size, feel Cons: Broken controls and adjustments Review: This stick blew me away, but there were some issues.

I was really impressed with the size and detail and feel of this stick. I was let down as I got to play around with it more because of certain things that felt 'broken'. For one, the 'mode selector' switch was easily able to rotate past it's intended positions. I could tell right away that this was not supposed to be like that, but I don't use the switch, so I wasn't going to go out of my way to go through the return process. Another thing that didn't work quite as intended is the stick rotation lock, once you pull out the lock you shouldn't be able to rotate the stick, but with little effort my stick rotates and feels as if something is about to give when I do so.

Another issue was with the throttle resistance adjustment, really I couldn't feel it doing anything as I adjusted it. It causes a clutter sound inside the throttle when moving it into it's min and max positions, which I've had flip the throttle on its back because of the force needed (not a huge issue since it comes with suction cups and mounting holes for screws, which I'm not currently using). My last gripe is with the handle adjustment, which allows you to adjust the handle guard on the stick to accommodate different hand widths. This mechanism was so clunky and badly designed that I felt as if I was doing something wrong by attempting to adjust it.

I'm impressed by the lights, and it really helps with the immersion and gameplay having this beast light up the room around you. 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. Overall I gave this setup a 4 out of 5 stars because it is still an impressive peripheral, considering the price, but also because of the defects and bad design of certain 'non essential' components. I would recommend with a grain on salt.

It is very rugged. For me that is a must. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, January 21, 2014 A little too much flash and not enough performance by A Customer from MN USA Pros: Very stylish, all-in-one, tons of control surfaces. Cons: Loose spring and really tight thrust detents, Our model came with multiple broken bits. Review: First, take this review with a grain of salt because mine is being returned to the manufacturer because of some faulty bits. Overall, my feelings from the little experience I got with it: Very stylish, throttle feels good, although I think the detent at the top and bottom feels a bit hard to push over.

SOME of it feels very durable and well put together, but other parts are flimsyish plastic. Spring is SUPER loose, and I saw somewhere that it supposedly had a way to tighten the spring built in, but no. So loose spring is a part of life. However, what caused the RMA was a useless twist lock (I still got about 45% of play in the twist with the lock enabled) and a faulty mode select dial on the stick (loose, had no clicks in between and has an odd wobble) Overall, I wanted to give Saitek another chance after my old stick years ago, but now I wish I had gone with. Biggest insult - after dropping the cash for this product, I then had to pay for the shipping to Saitek to get this RMAd (and they make sure we understand that the RMA may not be honored and they may send us the same unit back as it is, they might repair it, and they might replace it. We'll see in a few weeks if the stick is all I hope it is (when I hopefully get it back) Was this Review Helpful to you?

Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Small problem since last review by Gary from Elkhart Pros: Quality Cons: None really, just needs a little lube on metal shaft from the factory Review: I just gave this stick a review in Jan 2014, not more than a week ago. My X-52 Pro developed a small problem. I felt that I needed to share this problem with other X-52 Pro owners. My stick suddenly began to ' bind up ' a little when doing a right bank in my flight Sim, the motion was not smooth anymore.

Needless to say I was a little upset after spending over 150 bucks for it and I have only had it a couple of months and just gave it a good review. After a little investigating I discovered that the problem was the large washer under the spring rubbing against the shaft of the joystick. Two tiny drops of machine oil took care of that. Its working very smooth now again.

I chose to try to solve the problem my self rather than go through the hassel of sending in back and it paid off. Saitec should be doing this at the factory. Metal to metal is never a good idea without lubracation with moving parts.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Saturday, January 18, 2014 A Bit Pricey. But good quality. By Gary from Elkhart IN USA Pros: Quality Cons: none Review: Nothing in life is perfect in my opinion. 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. I have had it for a few months now and so far no complaints. I am not too fond of the PS-2 plugs that tie the throttle and the Stick together, but so far so good.

The X-52 Pro is not the average joystick, its way above average in the quality department. Don't be afraid to purchase this one, its worth the money. I have 3 friends that recommended this one. I am glad I took their advise.

Thanks My Pilot Store. Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, January 08, 2014 X52 Pro Worth The Extra Green by Rick from Winfield KS USA Pros: All listed in my review Cons: Saitek Software Review: I had a Plain years ago and one of the Hall Effect Sensors would Intermittently Fail and the stick would not center in roll otherwise it was a good stick. The X52 Pro is listed as having twice the sensors and I believe it is true as I have never had the precision that it delivers to my flying. I have had an original and I now use the and in my main sim setup in my basement and even though they are great yokes, I can fly more precise with the X52 Pro. The dual spring design is also a plus in the twist ( rudder ) part of the Pro.

It returns to center better than I ever remember my old X52 did. The Metal parts of this stick and throttle gives a overall better impression of quality to the Pro version.

The configurable led backlighting when looking at the settings from the device and printers area of win 7 is pretty awesome and there are a considerable number of back lighted switches and knobs on the pro system that really makes it stand out from other devices on the market. I can not testify to the longevity since I have only had this setup on my bedroom simulator setup for a couple of months now. I setup a Digital Storm Vanquish level 4 machine in my bedroom due to arthritis in my knees at age 56 makes it difficult to make the trip up and down the basements stairs to the old i7 950 oc'ed to 3.85 Ghz and a pair of GTX 570's for multi monitor ops. The new Haswell i5 4670k oc'ed to 4.2 Ghz and the Asus GTX 770 really kick butt on the new bedroom setup!

Oh by the way, I have never used the Saitek Driver or sst programming software as to it being a pain in the posterior from past experience. Win 7 by itself does a great job of configuring the X52 Pro system as soon as you plug it into a usb port.

No need to fret over their software unless you like spending a lot of time trying to get it all to work. All in all I have found the X52 Pro to be well worth the money!!

By A Customer from Foster City CA USA Pros: Smooth action, metal appointments, accurate, price.

Cons: Might could use a longer USB cord, I use an extension. Review: The X52 pro has a more substantial feel than the standard version with better metal buttons and toggles and a very smooth feel. The standard felt flimsy and cheep by comparison. The programming software, available for download, is keystroke based for software that doesn't recognize the joystick as a separate device. I'm very happy I chose this joystick as Ive broken many joysticks in the past and I think this one will last well.

Control precision is excellent and travel is smooth. The software is flexible enough to cover every game I need it for. Two small gripes - 1) Both bases could use some weight to hold them down.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix. 2) The provided suction cups don't work on my desk surface. They do work great on non-textured surfaces. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, November 12, 2013 WOW!!! By Don from Goldendale WA USA Pros: Mega adjustible Cons: Can be a bit touchy so be careful Review: Saitek's combat stick is a vast upgrade to those I had used before. Remember the old MS Sidewinder of years ago?

Saitek did themselves, and some of us as armchair pilots, good with the addition to their lineup of the combat stick. With lots of adjustible features, I'm still in that phase of getting mine set up properly. I use mine for DCS P51-D, DCS A10-C, and some of the planes within FSX.

This combat stick works well within each game. Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, October 10, 2012 Well Made by deals47 from Charlotte NC USA Pros: sturdy, good quality, good feel, lots of programmable switches and buttons Cons: Does not 'officially' support the Mac/x-plane platform Review: I really liked this joystick/throttle combination. It has a very good feel and good functionality.

I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that it does not support the Mac/ platform that I use. Fortunately, there are plug-ins available created by gamers that allow this product to be used with my platform and give it a pretty good amount of its designed functionality. It would really be great if Saitek would officially provide that support. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Tuesday, April 06, 2010 Excellent construction, and great feel by Milton from Van Horn TX USA Pros: Well built and sturdy, Great feel. Cons: MFD dispay issues Review: I bought the Saitek X52 Pro primarily for use with, but wanted the extra features in case I got involved with another simulator ( I use to love F117 Stealth Fighter ). I'm very pleased with the construction and feel of this set, and love the fact that they stay in place during use.

The only problem I have encountered to date is the MFD (Multi-function display) on the throttle stick. It worked when first installed and hasn't since. I am inclined to think that it may be due to my keyboard (Logitech G15).

It too has an MFD. I don't see any conflicts listed but haven't really taken the time to fully trouble shoot it yet. Was this Review Helpful to you? Thursday, March 11, 2010 by Dan from Singapore Review: The product is amazingly configurable and responsive. When it works. About two months after I bought it, the female end of the connector mounted in the joystick started to short out with every slight tremor of the cable inserted into it from the throttle.

I have emailed Saitek and MadCatz support twice with no response. Don't expect support from Saitek. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, April 06, 2009 Don't get shocked by N3254F from Bloomingdale, IL Pros: It's great for lights-out 'night flying' Cons: It doesn't have the 'Force Feedback' that the Microsoft Sidewinder and others have. Review: I was skeptical of spending the original investment for this flight system, but after many hours 'in flight', I found the X-52 to be a great addition to my simulator. However, one MUST note, this is the FIRST Joy Stick I have ever owned that was susceptable to static discharges. I now own an X-52 that has been rendered unsuable.
