Using the program they supply to adjust the controls to allow you a large degree of customizability? Absolute garbage. Getting this device to play nice with Elite Dangerous with the bindings the way I want them is pretty much impossible.
#LOGITECH X52 PRO FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADE#
Thought I was getting an upgrade for playing Elite Dangerous. Overall Review: Purchased initially as a replacement to a TFlight 4 for my PC. Programming app / interface is a disaster. Pros: Nice fit, adjustable height on the stickĬons: Cord nearly 0.5m (1.5 feet!) shorter than almost any other device.
and it's crapping out already? Even if I could fix it with a quick modification, it isn't worth the effort. I've logged about 50 hours on E:D with this stick. As awesome as the design of the controls are, the unit is worthless if it's unreliable. Others modified their controller and soldered a fixed cable on it. Some people just replaced the cable with a better one, and it fixed their problems. PS/2 cable) the cable between the two units. which just makes my disappointment that much worse.īased on what I read, I suspect this is a design flaw with mini-DIN-6 (a.k.a. I was going to bolt it to my desk, when I discovered a thick piece of Plexiglas I had laying around from another project worked wonders for those suction cups. I was more than willing to overlook some of the cheap feeling because it worked well. Overall Review: I REALLY loved this control surface when I first got it. Even that wouldn't work but half the time.Īfter some research with these symptoms, I found quite a few complaints online from other people having similar issues. Only way to get it back was to unplug the USB cable for the whole unit and plug it back in. Then the flight stick would just go dead in the middle of session. The center would jump mid-session and only way to fix it was to unplug the flight stick and plug it back in. Had to set deadzones to keep control of my ship when I turn off flight assist.Īnd finally, after less than a month of use, the flight stick stopped working reliably. The center of some axis (the main x & y of the flight stick and the thumb knob on the throttle in particular) seem to float a bit. The flight stick's base feels lighter than the throttle, this makes it feel a bit top heavy. Which is unfortunate, because the issues I had with the suction cups staying put when I'd push the throttle up. That solid feeling throttle supposedly has adjustable resistance, but I couldn't feel a difference after loosening it. That said, if you don't have a decent surface for the suction cups to attach to, you'll be popping both units off your desk repeatedly. Each base is niether heavy enough, nor do they cover enough surface area to resist popping the suction cups off your desk when you push forward on the controls. They have a about a 2" tall base, that feels mostly hollow. Everything that is right about the design of the controls, is ruined by the cheap feeling implementation.įirst, both units are fairly light. Uses only one USB port a blessing and a curse.Ĭons: Build quality. The whole thing is well lit in the right places for playing in a darkened room. With a proper surface, suction cups work well to hold the controls steady. No need for rudder pedals with the twist on the joystick.
Throttle feels comfortable and solid when using it. Pros: Bought it for Elite Dangerous, and the control layout is perfect for that game.
