Questions & Answers

Are you able to use this with the Microsoft Flight Simulator?

Yes, the buttons can be customized, but you might have to change the layouts

Is it possible to use this for an arcade setup on a Raspberry Pi?

If it has a USB2, assume it has one. When an Ethernet port is used, it should be possible with the right software, so no reason why not.

Can you tell me how long the cord between the two units is? Is that okay?

A little more than 62 inches long.

Do you think it can be fitted with a rudder?

There is no direct connection between this stick and a rudder. A rudder with USB port that can be directly connected to a computer is ideal.

Selected User Reviews For Logitech X52 Flight Control System

You can't connect 2 USB devices at the same time! My main reason for purchasing this was for the exclusive fact that it had two separate USB connections, it does not! A joystick connects to the throttle via USB, but the throttle is the only USB connection Cable (similar to an s-cable Cable video)
3/5

The 32 inches between the two control systems is very small (only a few inches between each). There is barely enough cable to satisfy professional simmers. With this I could have lived with, however we are going back since it is nearly impossible to move the Throttle back and forth with one hand, it takes entirely too much effort. Also, any tension adjustment implemented by the Throttle does not work reliably. And last but not least, I wish you all the luck possible with any macros that you wish to use with this without using an SST Editor. The process would not take place Software should have been included with this system considering the price, but it is not. As I run Saitek Pro systems throughout, I have my SST Editor installed. As a result, this control system is at its most basic. This is so well developed and so complex that one has to use the SST Editor to make any profiles work in any flight simulator. There are four licensed sims in my collection, but none of them will be able to save profiles. You should shop around carefully for the price peeps, but for the PRO, this is not an appropriate choice!.

There is no reason for Logitech to be in Please do not purchase the LOGITECH X52 or the is surprising to me that these items do not have even the slightest quality control
3/5

There are dead zones and sticks in the yoke, so you need to open it up to fix them. In the end, the software still does not work properly. How do you do it? How can I describe it as good? I don't have anything to say. I have a very bad sticking issue with X52. The POS is so useless that it is worth just $170. This is my first foray into the sim world, so I'm a bit uneducated in this field. Despite this, I am certain that the controls of real pilots do not operate this poorly. Is it possible that a company would sell its items knowing that they were defective before they left My experience with Logitech and their Sim Controls has been nothing short of disappointing. It won't be possible for them to get another penny from me. * Update * The trouble ticket I submitted to Logitech five days ago has not been resolved. It has been a long time since they have written to me. I strongly recommend staying away from any device by LOGITECH. Terrible customer service. There is no point in them. I CAN TELL IF THEY ARE STICKY OR HAD DEATH PLACES. A FLIGHT CONTROLLER is not available to use on them. The best way to ensure success is to focus on what they do well.

How can bad reviews be cleared by relisting? Why is the quality of the product so low? After extended use of this unit my lighting often malfunctioned, but I knew it was a decent choice
3/5

So, I took a chance on this listing because it looked like a new listing or model. As an out-of-the-box feature, my Multi Function Display on my Throttle does not have backlighting, nor does the Throttle Force Tensioning dial have any discernible effect no matter what setting it is in, be it max or min. There should be some weight on the bases of the units, they are a bit light. It will be necessary for me to add some metal plates to the bottom to keep them from shifting while.

It is a fantastic way to get started with HOTAS
5/5

The entry-level Logitech xBox 360 joystick and HOTAS from Logitech got mixed reviews from many people. I actually gave them a try and gave them a bad review. There is a chance that X52 level will become available. This is one of the best decisions of my life! In my opinion, it's the best beginner space sim set out there (I use it for Elite Dangerous exclusively, as of now), with just about the right number of buttons and hat switches at the right places, with excellent ergonomics all around. I was pleasantly surprised that the build quality was decent. Despite its plastic structure, it has rubberized grips that are incredibly grippable. Although the bases are a bit light, and the suction cups merely act to stop them from sliding, it's not a big deal, as long as they don't tip over. I wouldn't change a thing about my life for the world.
There are no issues with any of the buttons or other inputs, everything works as it should straight out of the box. My experience with Logitech's software is limited to Elite, which has very good presets from developers. I cannot attest to how well it does this since I only use it in Elite. Out of the box yet again. The result of all my efforts has been nothing short of excellent. As for the quality, we'll see how it holds up after several months, but you get what you pay for, don't you? The fact that it's several hundred dollars less than I would have had I added a Warthog or VKB to my order is evidence enough that this is a great introduction to.

This is a disappointing HOTAS, especially considering the price
3/5

With the price of COVID and MS Flight Simulator, this HOTAS is not cost effective. In addition, my T16000 has a broken twist axis and I would prefer to replace it with a combo that has more switches than disabling yaw on the stick and buying While they are going for well over $400, the X52 seemed like a decent compromise. However, after working on mappings for Elite Dangerous, I have grown increasingly disappointed despite a strong desire to look past flaws and just be satisfied with what I bought. I am - It is made to a decent standard. There are some small issues with the throttle, the stick too light, and the feel of the throttle, but if the cons below were not present, I wouldn't mind. I am - There are two hats on the stick, and the T1- is better It has 6 switches compared to the T16000's 6. I am - A good feeling on the throttle is that it doesn't stretch too much when hitting the buttons however, people with smaller hands would probably disagree with that statement. In regards to the size of my hands, I would say they are average for a male of my age. The cons are I am - As a result, the throttle tension does not actually adjust. It is still quite firm at the lowest setting. While the 25% and 75% detents could be adjusted by me, I find the 25% and 75% detents a bit annoying. Furthermore, it tends to move a tiny bit from where you left it when you finished. Suppose you set it to 60% throttle and let off the pedal. It scuffs back to about 58% when you let off the pedal. The inconvenience is not too serious. I am - That should be a hat switch instead of wheels and sliders! Personally, I have never found a real need for wheels or sliders in Elite. The 3 hat switches on the T16000 were excellent, but poorly placed. It would be nice to have hats again. I am - No use for the mouse nubbin (I have no idea what else to call it) on the throttle. There is a great deal of sensitivity on this computer, and adjusting the axes is very difficult. In theory it could be handy, but it is a poor implementation of that type of input. It could be better like the old eraser mouse on a laptop. I am - A digital thruster hat is mounted on the throttle rather than an analog one. Additionally, while a minor annoyance, I do much prefer the accuracy and precision of an analogue stick to a control stick that rages at 0% or 100% thrust. I am - It is impossible to connect the X52 stick with a different throttle, as one of the USB ports is attached to the You should have a separate USB port for each component. On my desk, I have nothing but clutter due to the serial connection between the two. I am - A blue LED so bright it is obnoxious. It didn't matter, however, because after about a day, they all stopped lighting up. I was using a powered USB 3 hub at the time. I am - The stick has a nice feel to it in combat where you move fast and big. It takes only a light touch to move around, which is nice since the base doesn't lift up when you move. The problem with slow and small movements is that they reveal a bit of stickiness and cause those more precise movements to jerk. I am - There seems to be no way to operate Pinky's switch. That's funny, but it's also so sad. The dress really caught my eye, but I am sending it back and will have to save some money for something else.
