HiJack Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 @Dudikoff Software remains as it is for the time being - we do have plans for improvements but everything takes time. @HiJack That is indeed the new part number. The new version is easily distinguished from the old due to the new cosmetic appearance as well as a completely new part number, packaging and retail listing (once they go live). In Norway now they use product number 945-000059 and displays the black/grey hotas. Have the product number changed to 945-000059? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacleyCole Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Be nice if you would do a free swap out of the old models or at least the intial models sold by saitek. Mine was a initial release version from amazon the I ordered through a prepurchase deal they had and has never been reliable. BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

HiJack Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 On Logitech site, the part number is still 945-000058 so I guess the Norwegian supplier is just trying to empty his stockpile of the old HOTAS. PART NUMBER Black: 945-000058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIRich Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 945-000058 and 945-000059 are both the new version. 58 is the US packaging version 59 is the European packaging version The product inside is exactly the same though.

So if the pictures on the shop's web is of the old black/blue HOTAS but the part number is 945-000059 you say this is the new HOTAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Does the x56 have a afterburner dent as the x52 pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIRich Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, that will be the new one - they just haven't updated the images. The X56 throttle has no detents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, that will be the new one - they just haven't updated the images. The X56 throttle has no detents. Thanks. I wish you produced a "Pro" version of the X56 with more metal parts, added a dual trigger and AB detent. I have played the life out of 3 * X52 Pro set and one X52 regular. I have been very pleased with all the X52 Pro sets I have got but not the regular one. I will buy the X56 now. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crab Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) What he said, there is no good option for a quality HOTAS right now. The X56 is maybe a notch above entry level and a decent HOTAS wouldn't cannibalize any sales from it as they're two different markets. Meanwhile in the quality market you've got an ancient design from TM which is handily outdone by goods from the East that buyers cant get unless they want to wait forever; dogs are born, live, and die, before your VKB stick shows up and Virpil is little better. The market is wide open for the taking by anyone who simply puts out a half decent product you can actually buy.

t1mb0b Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 bad first impressions Just bought one of these, I'd kind of expected the throttles themselves to work straight out of the box, but I am not impressed. When I try to add them to left and right thrust axes respectively in DCS World controls, I cannot get them to map in a logical way. The symptoms in game ( F18 ) are when I move the left throttle a tiny amount from 'zero' the throttle lever in game jumps to about 50%, then when advancing the throttle through its entire range, in game the lever travels to the fully forward position. With the right throttle, i have to advance the throttle all the way for it to go (in game) from zero to halfway. If i then just nudge it with very light pressure at the end of its physical travel, in game jumps to fully forward. I accept the fact that I may be being stupid(perhaps for buying a 3rd Logitech product ?) but i seem to be going round in circles(literally) with re-calibrating, inverting the axes, setting it as slider, most if not all combinationsi can think of but at the moment all i have on my desk is £200 worth of useless ornaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crab Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Make sure you delete all the defaul axes in DCS. Turn around afterwards and add them back in and it should be working. This happens with other controllers as well BTW, common issue with the default mapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1mb0b Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 re bad first impressions Hi, that made no difference but this config on the F/A-18C Sim Axes did; Thrust Left [JOY_X] Deadzone 0 Saturation X 50 Saturation Y 100 Curvature 0 Slider yes Thrust Right [JOY_Y] Deadzone 50 Saturation X 100 Saturation Y 100 Curvature 0 Slider yes I know not whether that is a workaround or how it should be, but the result is 2 identically operating throttle levers in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F900EX Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is LOGIRich still around ? My X-55 Joystick buttons after less then 1 year stopped working and not a happy camper right now.

LOGIRich Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey there, sorry to hear that. We're still covering support on the X55 so if you get in touch with our support team then they should be able to help. One thing to check before you do is to make sure that the contacts on both the removable grip and in the gimbal are clean, as well as ensuring that it has been tightly secured with the screw collar. If it's still not working then please get in touch through support.logitech.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1330 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hey LOGIRich, I was wondering if there was any appetite at Logitech to produce an extension for the X56. Given the simple threaded attachments, it would be a very simple matter to install/remove an extension, and I feel like minimal effort on the part of Logitech to produce them. I've been dabbling a bit the last few days in using parts from an older X55 that fried on me during a power surge to create my own extension. I've used the top and bottom couplings, and have no issues there. However, the wiring just isn't going to work, as there's a couple of circuit boards in there that convert 8 wires into 10 pins and I have no idea how they break down. Simply bridging the 10 pins will require some fabbing that I'm not able to do. But if Logitech were to produce an extension... I think there'd be a market for it. Any thoughts?
