About this deal
Basically, all of the wires connecting the throttle buttons are loose inside there. Keep moving it for a while and eventually one of them will become brittle and short. The X52pro uses 2 springs, and the disc is made from metal (less friction). Due the 2 springs the pro needs only little force to moved out of 0% position. Smooth, and precise control, feels like you got your money's worth. Lots, and lots of customization with the software. Lots of buttons and hats to keep me keyboard-free in Elite. This feels like a real piece of equipment and not a toy. I am very impressed with the design and quality of the materials used. I have been looking for a really good X52 profile for F-14B and I never see one so I have this one I know you will enjoy!

Yes the trigger is 2 stages, simple shoot, but then pull it all the way in and it will put full power to weapons. And yes T4 is both Landing gear, lights and I think I put in power to shields for when people come boosting out of the ports. I generally switch to mode 3 and T4 when I'm about to enter the port. Soooo many buttons, each switch on the base of the throttle is a toggle; essentially doubling the amount of switches that you have
Great work! You don't happen to have the PDFs for the X-55, too? I've been using jgm's Saitek X-55 Bindings Reference Sheet generator. It is really great and all, but produces JPEGs and no PDFs. Before you start up your flight simulator for the first time, you should acquaint yourself with some of the controls and features of the X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S. Go to Control Panel> Game Controllers and select the Properties for your X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S. You can test your buttons and axes here, and adjust the time readout and LED brightness and color. The X56 has some definite design improvements on the X55. A riser unit makes it more usable for people who don't have big hands, and there have been some improvements to the hat switches that had failure problems on the X55.

Throttle clutch button = I leave it blank to associate with the application to communicate with other players. an "Editable" PDF file, so if you don't use my profile you can still use the PDF file - note I didn't created the initial pdf template, but it's very useful anyway. The unit looks impressive, one of their nicer-appearing units - however the "custom lighting" is one color for everything and if it's out of a palette of 16 million colors then I'm an alien. For the price, it should have had independent lighting on every switch, button and knob. There is no need to set up a dead zone on my twist yaw. It centers and actually allows for some damn fine subtle control. I'm sure those experiencing the problem are legit, but its definitely not a design flaw in every unit.
Not happy at all with the direction computers are heading. And it isn't just Windows doing this stupid crap. Same kind of things happening on Macs as well.
