G.R.L | Saitek X52 Joystick with Hawx HD Gameplay

[ReddSouljah]

I was thinking of picking up a stick and throttle setup, and this will be the first ever stick and throttle I have gotten, would you recommend the X52?

[mrjimmyos]

I was looking for something fun to play with a joystick, I used to have a joystick and some flight game. How is this?

[SuperAwesomeNation]

is it responsive?

[MrJediknight810]

WTF can't get the controller to work with the game, how did you hook it up or what did you do to make this controller work?

[MoOseeOH]

I need a joystick for bfbc2 and was wondering what is the best one i just wanted the joystick and nothing like this setup so which one has the best of everything???

[SIDYSNAKE]

I bought this, but just the throttle works, not the joystick. I have been downloaded the last drivers from saitek website, but this shit still doesn't works, any help? (windows xp 32bits)

[mpctheg]

is hawx physically realistic?

(i play IL-2)

[TheRandomHope]

i was just looking at it on the official site (atleast, i think it was =P) and it said some of the need the internet for installation. my internet sucks (honestly, i get like 1mp per 1.5mins and it goes out half the time) and was just woundering if this one needs it aswell? and also would it work for BattleField2?

[GamingReviewsLive]

@TheRandomHope A) comes with old drivers on CD, you can DL new drivers from website.

B) Works like a beast for BF2

[neveneffect1]

how the hell can I get this working with a joystick!!??

[TheRandomHope]

@neveneffect1 but i dont absolutely need internet for setup? just caus last time i bought somthing that needed itnernet it wont work now, and i never got it to work. i put disc in and it says "extended past the blob"

[neveneffect1]

@TheRandomHope No, you don't need internet for this. I have no internet op de pc on which I have installed Hawx and it works perfectly (except for the joystick; but that has nothing to do with the internet):)

[tosakabmm]

awesome graphics!

[tosakabmm]

which program do you use to record the gameplay?

[GamingReviewsLive]

@tosakabmm I use fraps bud :)

[thebmxben89]

where did you buy it from

[DestWa]

How stiff is it?

[GamingReviewsLive]

@DestWa Pretty loose :)

[13knifethrower13]

This is hawks 1, correct? and do you think this game would run good on a Dell Inspiron1545 with 4GB RAM, a Pentium Dual core CPU @ 2.10GHZ and FSX currently downloaded? i get about 20FPS in FSX right now.

[MrNightwings74]

@13knifethrower13 get a video card i recomend a ATI. Make sure you know what your psu output is never buy a dell for gaming.

[seifster]

Hey your reviews are awsome :D

[MCAS9077]

I just watch you cause you're British lol JUST KIDDING great reviews and you answer all the questions thanks

[Patryckae86]

q irreal

[TheCvapek]

how much did it cost 

[GamingReviewsLive]

@TheCvapek £80 when I bought it new buddy :)

[TheCvapek]

@GamingReviewsLive tnx

[Digger843ASXM]

Can you use the joystick for ps3 too?

[Interscene]

What did you map the thrust/brake and rudder controls to?

I use the X52 also and I'm really disapointed that the thust-lever doesn't work in the game, I had to put it to one side out of the way and use the keyboard with my left-hand for those which isn't as intuative as I'd hoped. Any suggestions since you seem to be doing really well!

[captainlenon]

hey, G.R.L, you are awesome dude. you rock!

[GamingReviewsLive]

@captainlenon You, Captain Lenon, are also awesome too! You are brilliant for checking us out! Cheers buddy! Have a nice evening :)

[captainlenon]

what game are you playing? how can i get it. what store or online.

[GamingReviewsLive]

@captainlenon The game is called "Hawx". Its by ubisoft and is widely available in most game shops and ALL online game shops :) It was a big game when it was launched!

[mothrabattra]

@captainlenon its pointless to get it now since there are lots of other games being released plus Hawx 2 is coming this fall

[micovvf]

is it x 52 or x 52 pro?

[Tigermeet123]

@micovvf x52 not a x52 pro

[WootMapler]

does the plane only elevate when you put the joystick fully forward/back/side, or can the nose go up (example) 1 cm on the screen when the joystick moves down approx 1 cm?

[Skipperpighunt2]

The Joystick is very nice Can i Ask what the Joystick cost And Hawx is a great Game i play it too^^

Hope you answer

[thespiker100]

how did you record that

[GamingReviewsLive]

With a program called "Fraps" my friend. You need to buy it, but its GREAT at capturing games in HD without lowering the frame rate too much!

[benjamin22cal]

does this have multiplayer?

[GamingReviewsLive]

@benjamin22cal Sure does :)

[DiegoBrSilva]

this thing is the same shit as ace combat, totaly unrealistic. just an action game

[GamingReviewsLive]

@DiegoBrSilva I agree but thing is - It never set out to be a Flight Sim or realistic - It set out to be a arcade fun flying game for all to play and enjoy (well maybe apart from hardcore flight simmers :P)

[pne333]

I noticed with your joystick there is a bit of a delay from when u move it and when the aircraft turns. This happens with me too, any way to fix this? Its really annoying. Oh and also how do you know when assistance mode is turned off? I can never tell.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Yeah there is a bit of a "deadzone" in the center of the joystick that when you move it, the game dosent register the movement. Didn't find how to fix it.

Also, for assistance off mode - You press the button then when it switches to the 3rd person cinematic camera view - thats assistance off :)

[Miller3492]

this joystick has twist throttle right ?

[GamingReviewsLive]

@Miller3492 Not twist throttle, the twist is in the joystick itself to control the rudder.

[Miller3492]

thats what i ment, but thx, i think ill buy thisjoystick for rise of flight

[Bigeasy3456]

is this compatible with PS3?

[Crazyglues]

No it's not...

[cpunge001]

hawks is not a simulator game its so unrealistic its only a action flight game for any gamers

[misiuinietylko]

HAWX is bad game for good reviews this awesome joystick

next time use better simulator game

[MrGta150]

cool game, cool player

[GamingReviewsLive]

Cheers, thanks very much!

[sinfulldoubt]

is this useable with the xbox 360 as well as the pc?

[robloxguggi]

Can you use a PC joystick on a PS3?

[300Squares]

lol youre like wtf? when you hit that building XD nice video thinking of buying joystick..

[Hacker2090]

i have to get this thing it very greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat i wont play hawx tell i get it

[noodle050]

Heard we cant make the stick stronger since its pretty loose... Well for the best stick in the world, i can live with that.

Nice Vid'

[GeneCst]

this system is great, does it work with any game?, like Microsoft Flight Simulator X?, thanks.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Yep, this joystick will work with any game that uses a USB joystick. So yes, it will work with FSX.

Thanks for watching!

[GeneCst]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it :)

[GamingReviewsLive]

No Problem - Any time :)

[ClannerA01]

awesome vid! I'm thinking of getting an X52 soon and after seeing this. I'm sold!

[TazakaLOL]

You should do a review on Logitech extreme 3D Pro.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Alright yep, I'll see if I can't get hold of one :) Thanks for watching!

[liberty211662]

What are the spec of ur computer

[oettinger31]

while you are turning the plane take throttle back to idle so that it nearly stalls and the plane gets more maneuverable.you have to work a lot with the throttle so that the plane does not stall or gets too fast.

i use the x52 pro and its perfect, very responsive and the stick moves perfect to the center after turns.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Cool thanks very much for your comments :) If you enjoyed this video, why not consider subscribing - I've got another joystick video coming tomorrow - we shot it today!

Thanks,

[n1ckm926]

velly nice

[Viewindo]

Aah, looks like a fun game for the x52, I've played a lot of IL2/LOMAC in my time but it eventually gets tedious. People say they don't like the 'arcady' type flightsims but this looks like wickedsick fun and a nice change from the 'realism' flightsims. Thanks for the upload, nice work!

[GamingReviewsLive]

Thanks!

[longfi09]

Looks like alot of gap not a very responsive stick, booo.

[TriHawkStudios]

Hi longfi09,

The stick its self is actually very responsive and accurate - its just in the demo of this game, there is quite a big dead zone around the center of the joystick. This has been fixed for the full game of Hawx, and was an issue for all joysticks. On Flight Simulator X for example, the stick is incredibly precise for flying prop planes or jets.

Hope this helps!

[FoenixFireStudios]

Shoot, I meant to click the thumbs up

My bad. Somebody please click the thumbs up

[Armydude771]

@FoenixFireStudios I will! xD

[galatasarayfan67]

Hmmmm... thats cool, your the only person I saw/know who actually goes to off mode to dodge missle like me.

[GamingReviewsLive]

Yeah, although assistance off is really terrible for attacking enemies, its not bad for just pulling up and dogging those missiles!

Thanks for watching

[galatasarayfan67]

Well I do find off mode very usefull in tight situation. like coming agaisnt the SU-47 in the demo. those plane are very good and getting behind their tail even harder

[GamingReviewsLive]

yeah, I know what your mean. But I sometimes find it hard to see which way my jet is facing, so I think I'm turning one way, when I'm actually facing the opposite direction :P

[galatasarayfan67]

Well doesnt seem confusing to me but people have opinions and maybe the joystick just makes it more confusing.

[stew1212128]

Heyy thats looks alot like Ace Combat not hawk!!

[GamingReviewsLive]

Yeah funny you should say that mate - I've been hearing that a lot around the Hawx communities. I think the Dev's did actually take inspiration from ace combat in the making of Hawx. Interesting stuff :)

[HDGamingGuy]

NICE MAN AWESOME IM BUYING THAT GAME WITH THAT Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System

[GamingReviewsLive]

Thanks man :) If you like my videos, please do subscribe! I've got Hawx on pre-order, so when it comes out - I'll be doing a review on it. If ya wanna see it when I review it, please subscribe!

Thanks for watching,
