TimmyD Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi all.... Since getting back into sims I have realised that my once great X36F/35T combo is no longer what it used to be. It's still a great piece of kit in IL 2 but other games just don't seem to recognise certain functions/buttons etc. So.... I need to think about buying a newer model. I am looking at the X52 or X52 pro!!! Obviously I would love to buy a Warthog or Cougar but I cannot spare that kind of money. I need a stick, which is modern and that I can configure easily with/out software. Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome people. Thanks, Tim.

Buckram Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have a warthog, but I have used x52/x52 pros and they are a damn fine price of kit.

Daze Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have an X-52 Pro and I love it, I had a bit of trouble setting it up properly but I have it perfect now and it works great. I would like to get the TM Warthog but I just can't justify the price. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustur Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 X52 is good, pro or... regular. I heard that some users are reporting an annoying dead zone, others don't seem to mind it. Not really sure what that is about. There is a mod that apperantly fixes this and makes the joystick more responsive. http://www.overclock.net/t/541354/fixed-the-crapness-of-the-x52 Pilotasso did a guide too, but the pics seem to be missing: Improve your X52 precision with this MOD It will void your warranty of course, so I'm not recommending it. It's just something I would do if I had an X52. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like to ask the questions before I have already ordered the product so you tell us after it arrives, at least it will help the next guy. Might want to put up a disclaimer about if you were stoned when doing the review, just to give the full picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
