AVSIM Commercial Hardware Review Saitek - X52 Flight Control

display model. I employed that tactic myself before purchasing my X52.
If the $99.00 price tag is a concern to you, then you might want to consider the fact that
this HOTAS comes with one of the most important features of all…survivability. Not only is
the X52 constructed well, but given the trend of joysticks over the past decade, I don’t see
it going out of style anytime soon. And with FS-X right around the corner, this might be
the perfect time to get your home cockpit in order.
So in case you haven’t noticed, I am definitely very fond of the X52, and I place my seal of
approval all over it. I have not found any notable problems with either of the two units
making up this HOTAS, and even though I have had a few problems trying to get certain
features to function properly in different Flight Sims, I have managed to overcome those
problems with help from the folks at Saitek.
In conclusion, I can only say that I absolutely love my X52 and couldn’t imagine having to
fly HOTAS equipped sim aircraft without it. And even though I may not be willing to
suggest that you hurry up and get one for yourself, I do highly recommend giving this
product serious consideration. It is, after all, a great way to add that extra bit of frame
rate friendly realism to Flight Sim.
