Logitech/Saitek x56 Throttle (ghosting) final solution

Featured Replies

Hello I hope this helps many of you out there as possible!!!

I'm sure many of you have the Logitech/Saitek x56 HOTAS system and I wonder if you have had issues with both throttles moving (in aircraft or calibration screen) when you move lever 1 or lever 2 not showing any movement etc?

If you have then I am hoping I have the solution you need.....

FIRSTLY IF YOUR UNIT IS IN WARRANTY I'D REPLACE IT if not carry on below

Steps to fix

1. Remove the 15 screws from the unit and place somewhere safe with the bottom panel

2. You can (for ease and diagnositics) leave the quadrant plugged in USB voltage is 5v.

3. On lever 1 - the shorter of the two there is a slider lock you need to trace the BROWN wire in the inside

4. Once brown wire has been found inspect for brakeage,

5. Strip the brown wires and join the wire together and test the levers they should now work without issue the bar can still be used to lock the throttles together

I believe there is an issue with the wires braking after a long time of usage, rather than using a simple bar it seems Logitech/Saitek has installed a sensor to lock out twin lever inputs, this sensor is the cause of the issues I had
