Summary: Only One Minor Problem
Comment: Saitek X52 Pro Flight System Controller
Only one minor problem. I am a lower-intermediate flight sim user. I use FS 2004, CFS 2 and CFS 3. I had some difficulty with trying to determine the difference between 'Mode' and 'Profile'. I found the on-line video from Saitek on how to program to be very helpful.
Previous reviews indicated that I may encounter problems with possible cross controling the ailerons and elevator or rudder when transiting the stick through the null point. This does not happen with my unit. Another concern was that the throttle transition from 90% throttle to full trottle would require excessive force. I have found that there is a little extra force that is required to go into full power. This is just about right. I have not changed the out-of-the-box friction settings.
My third concern was that some owners have experienced problems with keeping the stick and throttle in place when operating the units. I have not had any trouble with the stick or the throttle slipping or sliding. They are placed on a formica desk top. I do not need to install the suction cups that were provided. However, I can see that some gamers would have problems if they tend to slam their controls from stop to stop.
The adjustable stick handle is a blessing (5 possible positions). The stick returns to the center (neutral) position everytime. The hand grip on the throtle is supurb. Both units have a solid feel.
My next purchase will probably be FSX (along with a new computer with some muscle to crunch pixels). The X52 Pro will be ready when I make these upgrades.

Summary: Very cool!!
Comment: I'm quite pleased with this throttle/joystick combo. They work well with my CH Pro rudder pedals although I learned that I can't keep my CH Pro yoke plugged in while using the joystick because any off center position of the yoke starts influencing the inputs. (Took me a little while to figure out why the airplanes kept rolling to the left) This pilot error incident aside, I've had no problems with either the throttle or the joystick. The only downside I can think of (and I'm not even sure this is a downside) is that I don't like the fact that the throttle and Joystick are connected to each other via a serial cable. It cuts down on the number of USB ports you need to take up on your computer but can prevent you from having a clean, cable free desktop. I knew it was configured this way before purchasing so I wouldn't down grade from 5 stars because of it. Functionally, ergonomically and aesthetically they are very pleasing to use!
