delta7 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Last night I crashed out with joystick problems, one of the pins on the cable connecting throttle to joystick snapped. I was having problems before and had glued connectors to units, after much effort I have freed the cable and ordered a replacement online. Hopefully this works but if it is fooked then what would folk recommend. Im happy with x-52 but might check out x-52 pro or even x-56 , would appreciate any feedback from those that use these. Bummer would be to remap all buttons if windows in its infinite wisdom remaps controller ID again 😪☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 5, 2020 2. Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2020 I've got an x-52 pro you can borrow if you want Delta - full working order last time I used it but the mode switch sometimes is a little flakey. Still it's a temporary solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted February 5, 2020 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted February 5, 2020 I went from an X45 to an X52 Pro many many years ago. I replaced it last year with another X52 Pro when a rocker switch became intermittent and the stick tensioning spring wasn't doing it's job very well. I stuck with Saitek because my setup works very well for me and overall I am very happy with their hardware and software. I, like you, expected to have to do re assigning but it wasn't necessary, replacing the X52 Pro with another one was literally Plug and Play as all key mappings and controller IDs stayed the same. I use Saitek hotas, pedal and lever quadrant profiles and most of the keys are mapped through those not via the in game key mapping however those few that ARE mapped through game remained when the new hotas was plugged in and used. If you are used to Saitek then I would recommend staying with it. I can't say anything about the X56 but all references to the X56 'Rhino' point to it being designed for Space games more than combat aircraft....that put me off as I didn't like the look of it.
