I'm flying quite much in FS9 as I'm a serious simmer, flying with the TM Hotas Cougar. I have also been trying the Saitek X52 with blue lights. The first thing I noticed was how unstable it was, no heavy feeling at all when moving the joystick and the throttle felt very light weight. When I came back to TM Hotas Cougar I really felt the quality. Joystick and throttle made of metaland both really heavy which I like, miss the blue lights and the screen on the X52 though.
@JamesRichardBaldi For fuck sake, why can't you be patient like everyone else? I don't spend 23 out of 24 hours a day on YouTube. In answer to your question, I'm not sure. Try using a Website called "Google".
after watching that other retard destroy his x52 because of repeated issues, ive gotta ask; How has the product integrity held up? Has is broken in any way over the years?
@117zoomzoom Well its been ok! Still using it, however I've had to set Deadzones because the mechanism has shifited inside and even with stick centered, its not saying its centered on the PC.
@117zoomzoom this saitek, x52+x52pro is WORSE CRAP i have ever gave my money for. Just buy it, you'll realize it soon after. If anyone would like to discuss it or deny my states, just make my day
@bcwlim I personaly didn't try it, specially because I just got used to twist rudder function and I can't use foot rudder due to lack of the space of the place I play IL2, but guys says CH products are the best money can buy...
@Ollie930 My logitech force extreme 3D PRO went out on me last summer do you know if any one of these type of controllers are forcefeed back. Other than those types whats the point in playing just for me that is thanx.
@bernar97 Depends if yours really that bothered about using the right controls for which aircraft. I personally have grown up using joysticks, you can fly the aircraft just aswell with a joysticks opposed to a yoke..
@Maverickf22flyer Yep it does that ever since I've had it. I wanted to send it back, but it was taking that long to get through to Saitek and sort the warranty out I just didn't bother in the end...
Everything else works fine though, kind good to know its just not me that has the problem :/
Its been a great joystick and throttle for three years but Im replacing mine with the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog a replica of the A-10C aircraft controls.
@Ollie930 It would seem so wouldn't it? But no, never had a problem at all with the joystick.. but the throttle I had to open up and remove the "notching" mechanism (the stops at AB and reverse thrust) to get it working good again.
@Ollie930 Oh my bad, I keep forgetting it lacks reverse by default. I setup an addon program called FSUIPC, that runs inside FSX, to do reverse thrust.
I would recommend the Logitech G940(I got one by myself, and its real good ;)) but for a Saitek joystick i would recommend the X65f... its one problem with it and that is that the joystick is EXPENSIV!!! 400$
I have a logitech attack 3, and I thought all joysticks were restricted to rolling into a turn. My birthday is in February, and I was hoping to bug my parents into getting one for me. Would you recommend this? Or should I get a cheaper one?
@Puggy8D James, I do recommed this stick however like you said it is prone to wear. I'm going to have to replace mine within the next 6-8 months. If you can afford it I would go for the new Logitech G940. Its Gearless, so it doesn't wear down. Plus its got rudder pedals and Force Feedback ;)
@Ollie930 how much do you think will cost if I get a yoke, rudder pedal and instrument panel all together....? Or does this thing do all the job...? P.S. You've got a cool English accent dude...
@Ollie930 What do you mean with "gearless"? The Saitek has no FFB, and it shouldn't wear out that quickly at all, since it uses Hall effect sensors in the main Joystick axes. Only the other axes and knobs have potentiometers and alike.
@kondadotm Yep, I've heard that some people have FFB problems, however the G940 Is a much more Polished and FInished HOTAS, and it includes rudder pedals. Yes the light is flickering a little bit due to dodgy connection, however it still works fine, it seems only mine that does it but I'm not bothered. The X52 uses springs and gears to move the stick and throttle, whereas the G940 uses bearings which are smoother and last much much longer ;)
@Ollie930 I'm not 100% percent sure, but AFAIK the X52 has Hall effect sensors as I said before (although I can't see one of my posts -- weird YouTube things happening). So there is actually zero wear out, since there simply is no friction. So there are not any gears. And as for the springs, the only springs should be those two which put the stick back in position (which the G940 must have to, or else it wouldn't center anyway)
I am getting scared... I have bought this same HOTAS from an on-line store. There a lots of people who seem to have had no problems with it, and others that have had one problem after another.
In this video in minute 3:39 you can clearly see one button on the lower right side of the throttle flickering. As I said, I am scared... I hope mine hasn't got ANY kind of issues...

as far as comfort and precision and ultra smoothness the microsoft sidewinder force feedback pro has still not been exceeded. im talking about the original sidewinder force feedback from 1998. that is the best joystick of all time. ITs the only joystick where you can adjust the stiffness of the stick. The saitek is uncomfotable to hold but the sidewinder is super ergonomics.
Hi ABZ. I wouldn't get this for IL-2. I've been flying IL-2 for nine years since the original IL-2 2001 Demo in 2001 August. If I were you I would get the CH stick and throttle set. It's a lot tougher and a better product. You do a lot more violent flying with IL-2 than Microsoft Flight Sim.
I hoped I helped you. The best thing to get is the CH Hotas package with the rudder pedals included. You will need those because the stick is non twisting stick.
whats better logitech g940 or this i really dont know price is about same with rudder pedals but logitech have force feedback whats cool and saitek have better buttons maybe idk please reply
I found that the joystick does not work well with flight simulator x. After months of fustration I tore handel off the stick, and tried to destroy it completely. Suprisingly it is built rather durable. Nearly was impossible to break the slider. I would recomend sticking with a simple joystick to anyone looking to purchase this one.
igot mine today and it will be there in 1-3 days cant wait. stay tuned for review. I hope my review is as good as yours. Because i think my camera mic is broken.
I'm possibly getting one of those joysticks, but the base of that joystick gives me a little reason to think: The size of the base and those suction cups on the underneath of it don't look really impressive for me. So, how stable is the base? Does it move or sway while playing and if it does, is the movement disturbing? Can someone help me with these questions? ...and pardon my english :D
@Ollie930 Wow thanks a lot Ollie, thats very helpful. I'm primarily interested in the X52 Series for X3-R/TC Games, also I've been watching a twitch based fast paced space MMO called Black Prophecy.
I've been doing extensive research on the standard X52 and the Pro version. I have an Alienware with Windows 7 64-Bit I keep reading so much about driver and axis problems with the standard X52. Can anyone give me any advice at all on Windows 7 64-Bit Compatability with X52 Standard and Pro? Is the Pro More Bug Free?
@LegendaryGoldDragon I think at the moment 64Bit Support is a bit sketchy. I think the X52 Pro Axis's work fine with 64BIT because my friends uses it on 64Bit. I think its just the X52 Pro MFD Screen doesn't work.

The Saitek is a entry level contoller or we can call him a toy.
@103959770979 Perhaps it is, but its almost £100 more than the X52, so its not really worth the money. Plus the X52 looks much better. Next time when you post comments like that please give a reason. Not just a pointless comment which doesn't really mean anything.
@Ollie930 thats sad!! anyway i am getting one for my b-day april 21st!!!!! ur review was nice it helped me make my decision on wich one to get between x52 and x52 pro
@WwTKVwW Yeah maybe, however in the current economic climate, Logitech products are very overpriced. All my Gaming controllers are logitech. Keyboard, Mouse, Webcam, Logtiech G25 Racing wheel ect
@Ollie930 you'r right about the prices so we just have to deal with it ;D Im getting my g940 this friday(Hopefully tomorrow depending on the post company) so I will post a unboxing and review video of it if your interested ;D
@ArfurSchrunkunpecker Hi Mate, yes I've used it a hell of alot since last august. Using it right now actually I'm doing a 13 houl haul!
No problems to report, only small thing I found is perhaps a dodgy connection on one of the backlit LED buttons, when I move the throttle up and down it dims, then goes bright again. All the other buttons of fine though, its only a minor problem!
Sure there are. Some of them are my friends. I don't think, flying is a miracle. I just think, that it was completely unnecessary, to state, that you're a Viperjet pilot as a comment on "should the X52 Pro feature Force-Feedback". Especially, when you give no proof at all. And even if there was proof, how would it affect your ability to judge, if the Joystick should have force feedback?
Now please argue, or go on saying you're a Raptor pilot, who eats little noobs like me for breakfast. ;)
It's really strange... I know many ordinary pilots in the real world. And I am about to become one myself... flying a cessna can be lots of fun. But on the internet you only meet Viperjet or F18 Pilots... it really seems, these super heros have a lot of free time to brag on the net, how great they are in RL... -_- Proove, that you're the Robbie Williams of all civil pilots... don't only type it here. That only makes you look weak.
And why exactly is that a big mistake? The joystick market is dead, repeat slowly d-e-a-d. The ONLY market still existing is that of simulations. In a simulation (no, not in a game as you call it), force feedback is absolutely not needed and would hinder more than it would add.
And what is that last sentence? Do you want to proove yourself more qualified than I am for judging on a joystick with that? Dude, I am really sorry, but this is the internet. You could also be Bon Jovi... Who cares?
@Ollie930 hi can one obtain flight hours through pc flight simulators? if so which simulator and what controller? it is really important for me to know because i was thinking of buying one for my little brother who wants to be a pilot and just graduated form high school.
@cheyamil, Hi pal, You cannot obtain real world flight hours obviously, however there are different pieces of software that you can log your hours inside Flight Simulator ;)
@klkyomama One is the older "standard" model (it's silver with blue lighting). It's cheaper, but I've heard it's ok. Folks say the X52 pro is physically sturdier with more accurate control (twice the movement sensors) and a couple other minor improvements.
Have you found that the MFD fails? I have found that during FSX, the FSX profile disappears from the MFD display and the MFD display remains blank. I found that more and more people on the Saitek forum have been experiencing the same problem for several years now and the Saitek tech people are useless and no one at Saitek has bothered to fix this problem.

@LegendaryGoldDragon I think at the moment 64Bit Support is a bit sketchy. I think the X52 Pro Axis's work fine with 64BIT because my friends uses it on 64Bit. I think its just the X52 Pro MFD Screen doesn't work.

@Ollie930 Wow thanks a lot Ollie, thats very helpful. I'm primarily interested in the X52 Series for X3-R/TC Games, also I've been watching a twitch based fast paced space MMO called Black Prophecy.

@103959770979 Well done, you managed to copy that off the internet. X52 is half the price, one of the reasons why its better value for money!

@103959770979 the cougar is based of an old f-16 stick , still i prefer TM over Saitek

@Ollie930 depends on what your playing, but i wouldnt get any of those and will wait for the Thrustmaster HOTAS warthog ;)
and no , it isnt worth the extra money

@lucasguillen So why do you buy it, if its not worth the extra money?
Ollie930 1 year ago
The Hotas Cougar is better.
103959770979 1 year ago
@103959770979 Perhaps it is, but its almost £100 more than the X52, so its not really worth the money. Plus the X52 looks much better. Next time when you post comments like that please give a reason. Not just a pointless comment which doesn't really mean anything.

I brought it a few days ago on amazon for £110 and it will come on monday (tommorow). Really can't wait

@ArfurSchrunkunpecker Hi Mate, yes I've used it a hell of alot since last august. Using it right now actually I'm doing a 13 houl haul!
No problems to report, only small thing I found is perhaps a dodgy connection on one of the backlit LED buttons, when I move the throttle up and down it dims, then goes bright again. All the other buttons of fine though, its only a minor problem!
I would really recommend this stick though ;)

Rofl... right, Viperjet pilot, go ask your mom if you could stay up a bit longer to learn some proper rules of behaviour.
Calling me an asshole was the proof I needed... ;)
ZSSolomon 1 year ago
Sure there are. Some of them are my friends. I don't think, flying is a miracle. I just think, that it was completely unnecessary, to state, that you're a Viperjet pilot as a comment on "should the X52 Pro feature Force-Feedback". Especially, when you give no proof at all. And even if there was proof, how would it affect your ability to judge, if the Joystick should have force feedback?
Now please argue, or go on saying you're a Raptor pilot, who eats little noobs like me for breakfast. ;)
ZSSolomon 1 year ago
It's really strange... I know many ordinary pilots in the real world. And I am about to become one myself... flying a cessna can be lots of fun. But on the internet you only meet Viperjet or F18 Pilots... it really seems, these super heros have a lot of free time to brag on the net, how great they are in RL... -_- Proove, that you're the Robbie Williams of all civil pilots... don't only type it here. That only makes you look weak.
ZSSolomon 1 year ago
And why exactly is that a big mistake? The joystick market is dead, repeat slowly d-e-a-d. The ONLY market still existing is that of simulations. In a simulation (no, not in a game as you call it), force feedback is absolutely not needed and would hinder more than it would add.
And what is that last sentence? Do you want to proove yourself more qualified than I am for judging on a joystick with that? Dude, I am really sorry, but this is the internet. You could also be Bon Jovi... Who cares?
ZSSolomon 1 year ago
This Joystick is not about arcade features. Force Feedback in a simulation is not what Saitek wants to reach with this product.

@Ollie930 hi can one obtain flight hours through pc flight simulators? if so which simulator and what controller? it is really important for me to know because i was thinking of buying one for my little brother who wants to be a pilot and just graduated form high school.

@cheyamil, Hi pal, You cannot obtain real world flight hours obviously, however there are different pieces of software that you can log your hours inside Flight Simulator ;)

klkyomama 2 years ago
@klkyomama Not entirely sure, I dont own the other one.
Ollie930 2 years ago
@klkyomama One is the older "standard" model (it's silver with blue lighting). It's cheaper, but I've heard it's ok. Folks say the X52 pro is physically sturdier with more accurate control (twice the movement sensors) and a couple other minor improvements.

Have you found that the MFD fails? I have found that during FSX, the FSX profile disappears from the MFD display and the MFD display remains blank. I found that more and more people on the Saitek forum have been experiencing the same problem for several years now and the Saitek tech people are useless and no one at Saitek has bothered to fix this problem.
