Very Good Flight Control System [Posted on 2008-01-13]
Great piece of hardware. The reason for ONLY 4 stars is that the manual and software are not up to date, and updated ones must be located and downloaded.
The hardware is really good,,and worth the trouble.

X52 Pro [Posted on 2008-01-25]
Saitek X52 Pro Flight System Controller I have had a lot of sticks. Logitech, Sidewinders,CH Products, Saitek evo series, ect... This stick is very well made. Software can be confusing. Takes getting used to but the ability to calibrate while in game a big plus. The rotary controls smooth. The 4 way and 8 way hat switches in good locations. Stick sorta bound up at first until I applied a little lithium grease to the shaft. No problem.Had this stick for about 3 months. No regrets.

After serious use.... [Posted on 2008-01-30]
I am a military buff and I bought this item to get as close as possible to a real life pilots view from inside a cockpit. It appears to be amazing, but I have not been able to do anything with the "custom" programmable settings. This product sounded like the best thing out on the market today, but I would have bought a piece of wood and hooked up some electronics to it to perform the way this thing has performed for me. It definitely serves the purpose for a joystick during flight, but the extras simply stink and there is no such thing as programmable buttons and switches, this does not occur.

The other downfall is a person cannot use this joystick for any other games they would like to use a joystick for. It simply will not work. I have tried it on 6 different computers all with different setups and it just will not allow play on some combat action games for a PC which allows a joystick as an available option. If you are looking for a standard joystick, I would suggest a much lower priced joystick from the same manufacturer, but do not waste your money on a good description when the results just do not follow.

More than enough! [Posted on 2008-04-27]
This joystick and throttle controller is more than I need! I'm a beginner in Microsoft flight simulator and this thing has alot of buttons that I still don't use! It's not easy to learn for beginners but I think of it as an investment for the future when I learn more stuff!
The product is smooth and accurate which is great but it costs more than others!
