You have to install the Programming Software as well which loads when booting your PC. I did not use any buttons or wheels in the MFD, and if they where assigned by default to anything I removed it. Like I said I installed the driver, once recognized by MSFS, I assigned the proper buttons and axis, save it. Also the quality of my X52 is somewhat better than what Logitech has been selling for what I read on the subject, finally I don’t believe in magic. The Programing Software came with my original X52 that I purchased from Saitek a few years back, the one in the Logitech site is the same one. I don’t have any Saitek Panels of any kind connected to this machine. I also use the Programing Software for the X52 and I have 2 profiles, one for MSFS, and another for X-Plane, this software loads at booting time and I get an icon in the starting tab from where I can choose the profile I need. I may add that it works the same way in X-Plane 11. It also flashes the name of any button you use in a separate line. I made sure I did not assign any of the buttons or rotating wheels in the MFD to any commands, my MFD illuminates when computer is on and shows local or UTC time, it also works like a stopwatch, and shows the Com 1,2, Nav 1,2 frequencies when I fly.
Saitek x52 pro vs x52 driver#
I installed the X52 with the driver from Logitech. It will take a while to find the correct mix.In one of my computers I have the X52 Pro connected to a USB Hub, a switch box I made also connected to the Hub. Keep notes of your assignments and change them any time you feel like it. You can operate this one without taking you hand off the throttle so it is a good choice for things that you adjust often. There is a roll switch in the grip of the throttle than can be assigned as an axis, your index finger rests on this switch. There is a hidden 4 way switch on the back that you operate with your index finger so I use it for things that require seldom changes.
The top larger horizontal wheel has a button in the center and is very handy for an axis assignment. On the throttle side, I use the slider for spoilers, the small white button for gear up and down and the smaller wheel at 3 0'clock for rudder trim for the R-22. You can assign the twist of the stick as your rudders if you don't have pedals. I seldom use the big 3 silver rocker switches at the base because you have to take your hand off the flight stick to use them.
The bottom pinky finger button is used to bring the view back inside the cockpit. I use the trigger button to change to the outside following view. The red protected button at 12 0'clock I use for thrust reversers. The two lighted buttons at 2 o'clock is perfect for elevator trim up and down. I change my choices here fairly often depending on how well I can see out the windscreen. The 4 way switch above it at 11 o'clock is good for eye point adjustments, left and right, and up and down or zooming in and out. The thumb button on the left of the flight stick is a good choice for Flaps Down. The hat switch is always going to be the hat switch for looking around. You could spend today getting a good view of each of the units that has the button numbers and the axis assignments. Some assignments are aircraft specific and others are more general. I change my assignment from time to time depending on which airplane I am flying. When are you going to delight us with another "work of art of wonderful image and sound"? I know that you have that very developed faculty may Nature preserve it for you.Īssigning the buttons and switches are mostly a matter of personal preference. It was especially beautiful the slow and nocturnal flight, between the tall buildings in Chicago, with a very slow flight and music that was a real delight. One flying over Innsbruck and another over Meigs in both, besides formidable views, there was a music that was a real delight. I'm waiting for the arrival of the joystick, and surely since you have it and you know it well, I'll probably ask you some difficulty that I'm sure I'll have for the configuration.Įvery time I see a thread or post with the name of "ftp2leta" I remember two videos sent by you to the forum.
In my language there is a popular wise phrase that says: " good if short, twice good", and your communication, has that characteristic. Thank you very much for that magnificently summarized help more, it would be impossible.
