Great for Advanced Flightsimmers

byclearconcise Dec 11, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent build quality, Easy to program, Enough controls for anyone
Cons Expensive, LCD screen isn't very useful
Recommended it? Yes

The "I'm in a Hurry" Section:
This joystick is great for advanced flight simmers, which is not too surprising considering it is marketed as a "flight control system". There are more than enough controls that, when used along with the mode and shift switches, provide a place for you to assign... Read full review »

Why did you buy this product?

I'm a flight sim fan. I played Falcon 3.0, Falcon 4.0 and now I just bought Falcon 4.0 Allied Force. If you don't know about this simulator, it is the most accurate and complex one of the F16 available to the public. With this complexity comes a ton of keys... Read full review »

Expensive but fun toy!

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice looks, good movement, dimmable lights, wheels are perfect for trim!
Cons Software, high price, limited by the game, LCD is useless
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the x52 a week ago and I only have two problems, how much I payed for it, and the software.

Lets start with the throttle. It has a rather useless LCD display. This display is only functional if you set up a "profile" using the saitek software. If you elect not to use the saitek... Read full review »

Pros Well built, everything is programmable.
Cons Programming software could be better.
Recommended it? Yes

I owned the previous version, the one with the joysitck connector not USB, and I was very pleased with it. When I built my new computer I realized that I did not have a joystick port, everything is going USB. I sold the joystick and then regretted it about six months later, I could have just added...

Flight simmers dream

byintak Jan 15, 2007

Pros Ultimate flight control system.
Cons Rather high price.
Recommended it? Yes

Whats better than being able to use two hands to fly?
If you are really into flying, the X52 is a must. It is very well built and has far more buttons than could ever be used. Map all control surfaces, throttle, trim and use the built in mouse pointer. Read full review »

Cons Plagued with problems
Recommended it? No

I like the flight control system, however this is going to be the second time I am going to have to return it in less than a year.The connector on the joystick was faulty on the first one, now the joystick has internal failure which allows button 5 to activate without touching the button. Would not... Read full review »

A must-have if you own MS Flight Sim 2004

Pros Tons of buttons, sliders, and features. Nicely constructed.
Cons None really. The MFD is just a decoration with no real purpose.
Recommended it? Yes

For years I always used my trusty Microsoft Sidewinder stick during flight simulations. However, it doesn't hold a candle to what the Saitek X52 offers anyone who enjoys being an armchair pilot. The throttle is nothing short of spectacular and you can even adjust the tension on it. The vast array... Read full review »

I am an avid flight simmer. Before I made the decision to purchase the X-52.

I had not used a Flight Control/Hands On Throttle And Stick (HOTAS) system before, but after reading numerous professional and user reviews, I decided to purchase the X-52 Flight Control System.

Don't mind me, I've gone MIA!

Pros The rubber suction cups keep it from sliding around in the heat of battle.
Cons It feels a little like a toy because it is light weight.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this joystick after careful deliberation. I bought an Electronic Arts game called Battlefield 2 and just could not get the jets to maneuver like some of the other pilots. I ended up in a Christian run server and asked one of the pilots how he could pull off some of the moves, that's when I... Read full review »
