Flight Control System

Developed using customer feedback from our previous award-winning X36 and X45
stick and throttle controllers, the X52 Flight System is the premium stick model outside
our Pro Flight Range.

Featuring 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and 7 control axes, the X52 gives you 47
basic commands plus the control axes. But when you include the programming options
provided by powerful Saitek Smart Technology programming software, which allows
you to make use of the 3 position mode switch and Pinkie shift switch, the total number
of programmable commands rises to 282!

And if this isn’t enough, you can program even more commands by adding more modes
with the programming software. With the X52, you no longer need to touch your PC
keyboard during flight simulation so you can keep your hands planted where they need to
be – on the stick and throttle.

With all those commands, things could get confusing so you can use the Multi-Function
Display (MFD) screen to check programmed command names and use the clock and
stopwatch function for timing the legs of your flight plan.

The X52 also uses magnetic hall effect, non-contact sensors for the stick movement, so
you won’t ever need to worry about employing a ground crew for regular services.
