GreyKnight Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Chaps, Is it possible to use an X-52 throttle on its own, without the matching joystick? Or is there now way of separating the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 It's certainly possible. If you run a search over on the Ubi forums you find all kinds of posts on how to do it http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?a=frm&s ... f=23110283 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Have you got the pair Shadow? Does each device have its own USB connector or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 4, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Usual thing is to simply plug in the X52 Hotas as is, but put the Joystick out of the way (but in reach as it becomes a 'button bay'). I did just this with my X45/MSFFB2 combo, never ever flew with the X45, just used the throttle and the buttons on the joystick. If the X52 takes controller ID #1 setting curves can be a little tricky, use IL2 Sticks as FB won't allow curve setting for ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - throttle plugs into Joystick which in turn plugs into USB port, hence both units are enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Interesting My X-52 throttle plugs into a USB port and then my stick plugs into the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 What Tonar Said! I'd think you could run without the stick attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 4, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Well I was half right...only one has a USB. X45 is as I said though, throttle plugs into stick, stick plugs into USB... Why not use the stick as a button bay though...unless desk space is at a premium...

Shadow Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I think I might try hooking up my X-52 throttle and my X-45 stick and see what happens. Contrary to what most people seem to think I find the stick on the 45 much more responsive. I wonder if the profiler will still work though.
