February 4, 20197 yr Is the Saitek X52 Pro a 'plug and go' for FSX, i.e does this controller fly FSX out of the box? Raymond Smyth
February 6, 20197 yr Basic functions i.e. pitch, roll & yaw are just plug 'n play but you will need to assign (or at least check) the various buttons and rotary controls.
February 6, 20197 yr Author Thanks for the reply. I've looked at this one further and some say the joystick is rather too slack and cannot be adjusted and stiffened. They say a stiffer Saitek stick is the X55 but very pricey. Any views on the X55 ? Ray Raymond Smyth
February 6, 20197 yr I have an old X52 (non-pro) and I assume the pro has similar features which include the ability to adjust the spring on the base of the joystick. Not used a X55 so can't comment IMHO the best Saitek HOTAS combo was the X36 (RIP) which i used for years before buying the X52. There was no adjustment to the stick but I found it just the right amount of stiffness. It also had an excellent rocker type switch on the throttle to use as a rudder axis, far better IMHO than twisting the stick, at least for civil flying.
