 Only One Minor Problem July 13, 2008
Saitek X52 Pro Flight System Controller
Only one minor problem. I am a lower-intermediate flight sim user. I use FS 2004, CFS 2 and CFS 3. I had some difficulty with trying to determine the difference between 'Mode' and 'Profile'. I found the on-line video from Saitek on how to program to be very helpful.
Previous reviews indicated that I may encounter problems with possible cross controling the ailerons and elevator or rudder when transiting the stick through the null point. This does not happen with my unit. Another concern was that the throttle transition from 90% throttle to full trottle would require excessive force. I have found that there is a little extra force that is required to go into full power. This is just about right. I have not changed the out-of-the-box friction settings.
My third concern was that some owners have experienced problems with keeping the stick and throttle in place when operating the units. I have not had any trouble with the stick or the throttle slipping or sliding. They are placed on a formica desk top. I do not need to install the suction cups that were provided. However, I can see that some gamers would have problems if they tend to slam their controls from stop to stop.
The adjustable stick handle is a blessing (5 possible positions). The stick returns to the center (neutral) position everytime. The hand grip on the throtle is supurb. Both units have a solid feel.
My next purchase will probably be FSX (along with a new computer with some muscle to crunch pixels). The X52 Pro will be ready when I make these upgrades.
Very cool!! June 28, 2008

I'm quite pleased with this throttle/joystick combo. They work well with my CH Pro rudder pedals although I learned that I can't keep my CH Pro yoke plugged in while using the joystick because any off center position of the yoke starts influencing the inputs. (Took me a little while to figure out why the airplanes kept rolling to the left) This pilot error incident aside, I've had no problems with either the throttle or the joystick. The only downside I can think of (and I'm not even sure this is a downside) is that I don't like the fact that the throttle and Joystick are connected to each other via a serial cable. It cuts down on the number of USB ports you need to take up on your computer but can prevent you from having a clean, cable free desktop. I knew it was configured this way before purchasing so I wouldn't down grade from 5 stars because of it. Functionally, ergonomically and aesthetically they are very pleasing to use!

I upgraded from the orginal X-52 which also was a great stick in my opinion, never had the problems with it has other people had. The only minor problem with the orginal joystick that was corrected with the X-52 Pro, was the weak center spring. The Pro also have different look and hat buttons along with several other improvements. You will have to re-program all of your profiles if you are upgrading from the older version.You can't beat Saitex for the price and proformance, I'm satisfied.
Its a great flight system joystick May 22, 2008

Its great. When I bought mine when it first came out last year, I was estatic. Going from a X45 to a X52 Pro, was like day and night. The new software was great. I never touched the stuff on the disc. Now-a-days thats just there to make you feel good, but overall the stuff on the disc is usually always obsolete.
Programming for it took a while, they changed a few things from the X45 programming software, but I got a hang of it. Before I left for Kansas last year (and had to abandon it no money to ship it all back)I had it fully programed for X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Dark Star One, X-Wing Alliance, X2, Crimson Skies, MechWarrior 2, Clan Ghost Bear, MW3, MW4.. yea
Very usable.
I'd recommend it to everyone.
