makers need to be very clever about button use and ergonomics.Īs I first put my hands on both the joystick and throttle control I noticed that every finger was either resting on or near to a button which is the way that it should be, because as I said earlier the H.O.T.A.S. Considering most aircraft have hundreds of buttons, H.O.T.A.S. (Hands On Throttle And Stick) which means the pilot can access every setting without ever having to take their hands off the controls. As you can see the X52 Pro out of the box is a complete H.O.T.A.S.
So I can see a lot of people thinking just over £100 for what can basically only be used for a handful of games is a lot of money.Īs you can see the size of the box gives away just how big the X52 is and it will take up a lot of space on your desk so I hope that you have made room (it took me a good half an hour of cleaning my desk space before I could set it up). The X52 is created for a very small market. That market being both flight and space simulators although I have also heard that it can be used for the Mechwarrior series. I know that I said I’m currently not averse to purchasing one of these if I like what I see, but I can also see the other side of the coin as well. With that in mind today I will be testing the Saitek X52 Pro Flight system. I think that it may have backfired for him a bit because I’m more than up for the challenge of testing a peripheral that I might also be looking to purchase in the up and coming months. In his infinite wisdom, my editor Steve decided to give me something that he thought I might find interesting to test or it might have been a hint that I might be talking a bit too much about 2 certain Kickstarter games called Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen.
