Trying to Learn the Saitek X52

[golfmobile]

Cap'n, I agree -- I have the CH pedals too.

[captainsmartass123]

saitek wins every aspect of flight simulation EXCEPT the pedals, i have both the CH and saitek combat pedals, CH is much nicer.

[altoidfart]

rich people! lol I have a Logitech Force 3D Pro

[theripoff20]

hhard as hell

Microsoft's core physics for the default helicopter that is included in Flight simulator is a joke. Good if you are just having fun, but if you are really serious and trying to use FS as a training aid, Dodosim 206 FSX would be the way to go. Physics modeled right down to every aspect of the real deal, so it's like really flying the real thing. Great Joystick though, it goes perfect with flight sim and the Dodosim 206 FSX.

, your better than me with the heli

[ROFLGOATS]

Thank you for alerting me! Good thank I haven't gotten rid of them yet.

[ROFLGOATS]

I had the X52 plus the throttle, and then after a year or so I moved to Vista, and the bastards at Saitek havn't released X52 drivers for Vista, so I pretty much got screwed over on that <_<

[gaurdodarich]

And thats why vista SUCKZ :P

[MrFunky81]

[KONERKOSLAM14]

[vmfhavok]

CH Products! Tust me on this.

[Kingturtlesh]

I trust saitek a lot more than CH. Ive heard they break easily.

[vmfhavok]

You must smoke a lot of crack to believe that shit...lol. Seriously...are you serious?

[MinnesotaMan13]

CH for the Yoke and Pedals. Saitek for the joystick. That is what I do.

[mondebankale]

Saitek rules that's my point of view but according to some users it's shity. i'm a cautiusguy so may be that's why my joysticks (logitech and saitek) never break. Why? because i rather be "virtually dead" than "really buy" a new joystick.

[frogger2222]

i have x52 :D its great but i want to get one of those f15 look alike sticks as i am building a flight simulator cockpit

[iaintg0t0ne]

dangit!! i accidently hit "spam" insted of "reply"

LOL

any way thanks, but my funds are limited right now so i'll probably have to get them alittle later on

[iaintg0t0ne]

lol i'm planning on getting a X52 pro for FSX, did you get the hang of it? do you like it?

thanks in advanse!

[golfmobile]

I love my X52 -- BUT by itself it can't do it all. You need the pedals too. I don't have the Saitek pedals, which I hear are good but pricey. If you don't have unlimited funds to get the Saitek pedals, at least get the CH pedals. Having pedals really do give you the "real" feel of working all the controls.

[RichieKlink]

what game is that?

[golfmobile]

This is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight -- with lots of add-on scenery!

[navymmw]

lol, trying going from using the X52 for like 2 years, then going to a yoke, lol.
