The Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System is the most fully integrated Stick and throttle flight controller: built to meet the demands of the best virtual pilots in the world! The MFD screen, first introduced on the Saitek X52 Flight Controller, is now interactive. Now you can display important in-game information such as the Radio Stack and interact with your games directly. Shipping with support for Microsofts Flight Simulator X, theres also a Software Development Kit (SDK) included which allows budding programmers to create interactions with their own favourite games. Chose between night-friendly red, green or amber illumination for the different LED buttons on the controller. Using the SDK, you can also program the LEDs to react to conditions in your game such as flashing red during a stall or changing colour when pressed. Now theres a huge number of possibilities for even greater interaction between your controller and the simulation. New metal parts increase durability and the unique dual-spring mechanism provides a progressive spring force on the sticks movement, making it more resistant the further you move it from centre. The X52 Pro uses the same magnetic hall sensor, non-contact technology as the X52 but weve doubled the number of sensors to improve response. The smooth movement and enhanced control give you unparalleled accuracy and bring you even closer to reality. Joystick Features: Precision centering mechanism, non-contact technology on X and Y axes and constant spring force reduce free play, improve control and increase durability 2-stage metal trigger; 2 primary buttons in 1 convenient position 4 fire buttons including missile launcher with spring-loaded safety cover for instant access Conveniently positioned metal pinkie switch provides shift functionality to double up on programmable commands 2 X 8-way Hat Switches 3D rudder twist 3-position rotary mode selector switch with LED indicators 3 spring-loaded, base-mounted toggle switches for up to 6 programmable flight commands 5-position handle adjustment system to suit all hand sizes Two year limited warranty Throttle Features: Progressive throttle with tension adjustment, detents for afterburner and idle 2 fire buttons Scroll wheel with built-in button Mouse controller / hat switch with left mouse button 8-way hat switch 2 x rotary controls Smooth-action slider control Clutch button initiates safe mode to allow on-the-fly profile selection, or to display button functionality without activating The Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System is the most fully integrated Stick and throttle flight controller: built to meet the demands of the best virtual pilots in the world!

Flightstore has the x52 at an amazing price, it's the real deal. The stick itself is pretty damn cool to use, I know the saitek line has issues and its sometimes pot luck on the longevity of the hardware, but at this price I'm totally willing to take a chance. And if in the future I need another hotas system, I'm coming straight back to flightstore.

I bought this flight control system to play elite dangerous and was a bit worried about spending over a hundred pounds for something to play one game, but needn't have worried the x52 is absolutely brilliant. it is very well made and the build quality is excellent and even if I don't end up using it for any other games, I think on quality alone it is worth every penny . The addition of the free flight sim was an added bonus as I never tried one before. As for the service from flight store what can I say, it was excellent as well. I ordered a couple of days before Christmas with no real expectation of it arriving before the big day but it did . overall I would give five stars to both the x52 and to Flight Store.
