The X52 Flight System is the premium stick model outside the Saitek Pro Flight Range.

Featuring 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and 7 control axes, the X52 gives you 47 basic commands plus the control axes. But when you include the programming options provided by powerful Saitek Smart Technology programming software, which allows you to make use of the 3 position mode switch and Pinkie shift switch, the total number of programmable commands rises to 282!

And if this isn’t enough, you can program even more commands by adding more modes with the programming software. With the X52, you no longer need to touch your PC keyboard during flight simulation so you can keep your hands planted where they need to be – on the stick and throttle.

With all those commands, things could get confusing so you can use the Multi-Function Display (MFD) screen to check programmed command names and use the clock and stopwatch function for timing the legs of your flight plan.

The X52 also uses magnetic hall effect, non-contact sensors for the stick movement, so you won’t ever need to worry about employing a ground crew for regular services.

Customer Reviews For Saitek X52 Flight Control System: Write a review

Friday, June 19, 2009 Maybe I'm too slow to grasp all the whistles and bells by David from Concord NC USA  Review: I enjoy this controller with Microsofts Flight Simulator 2004, but when I tried it out with X-Plane version 9.22 it did not communicate. I am still waiting for a reply from X-Plane to check out what they know. It is too soon to give a good reply; as I am not allowed to spend too much time at the 'girl-friend' (CPU) or the wife gets irrate. :-)) That's life.
