Conure Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Hey all, So I've upgraded my entire PC for DCS:A-10, and though I needed an upgrade of joystick from my three year old evo force. I'm on a tight budget and for me a twist rudder is essential, and I very uch want a full HOTAS system..Is the x52 pro the best thing for this price range? I know the CH products etc are much better and I'd love to buy them, but unfortunately I can't afford them for now, and need something for A-10 and BS. Is the x52 pro? I've also seen it has an MFD display thing, is that compatible with the DCS games?

Conure Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Another quick question! I've seen it's got some kind of mouse control built in - can I use that for the view control and assign all 3 hats to other stuff?

Napa Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I do recommend X-52pro. But I don't use the MFD. BTW, keep in mind that X-52pro has a triple mode profiler that you can change anytime by turning a knob on the HOTAS. This allows you to configure the HOTAS for 3 different modes depending on the situation you're in (e.g. cruise, landing, combat) And there is a good (not perfect though) software profiler that allows you to configure X-52pro immensely.

Conure Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Great :-) does the mouse thing work though? I'm hugely interested in that as three hats would be incredible! I think that using a full HOTAS will feeel much more immersive than my crappy old evo force...Should be here tomorrow :D Intel i7 6700k, Asus GTX1070, 16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz, CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Rudder Pedals, Samsung Evo 850 SSD @ 500GB * 2, TrackIR 5 and 27" monitor running at 2560 * 1440, Windows 10.

"I know the CH products etc are much better and I'd love to buy them, but unfortunately I can't afford them for now" :D I'd also love the Warthog setup but unfortunately money is a limitation for the moment! Still, the x52 pro should be a huge upgrade on my evo force! Thanks for the links btw! I will check them out :) Edited January 13, 2011 by Conure Intel i7 6700k, Asus GTX1070, 16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz, CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Rudder Pedals, Samsung Evo 850 SSD @ 500GB * 2, TrackIR 5 and 27" monitor running at 2560 * 1440, Windows 10.

Thanks a lot :-) I'm used to using a standard hat switch to look around + the keyboard to zoom in and out, how is the mouse look on the throttle plus zoom key compared to that? I am hoping it makes looking around feel more natural!

x4nPro Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ...how is the mouse look on the throttle plus zoom key compared to that? I am hoping it makes looking around feel more natural! Due to it´s sensitivity, at the beginning, you have to accustom into the controlling of the view. But after that and with the use of the Rotary 2 (zoom) + view-center-button, it is very easy to use. The only disadvantage in regards to the TrackIR is, that you can not move the position of the view with the hands on the stick ;) Greetings and have fun with your new hardware :joystick: ### x52pro Profile - forum thread ###

danielbeier Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 i change same like you from saitek evo to x-52pro and its a lot different dont listen to this plastic negativ talking (aslong you dont build a real homecockpit) , its a really good jostick and yes you can move mouse with one Button but takes long time till you have configured all the buttons , there are millions possibilities
