Nevertheless, when it is plugged in, everything is lit except the MFD and the throttle control position markers. The recent Windows update may be relevant, I'm not sure. It has worked before (I've owned it for about 6 months), but I'm not sure what caused it to cease working. Probably make longevity improvements to the throttle as well.I am having trouble getting my X52 Pro to work on Windows 10. If after doing that, I am still inclined, I may just go ahead and design and build a metal gimbal mechanism for that stick as it already has a metal base that would provide a much more stable platform for a precision gimbal assembly. I've had this thing for many years (pre-MadCatz), and I am sorely tempted to go ahead and just replace it with the Wart Hog HOTAS at this point. Greased of course.īut.I question the sanity of putting that much effort into this stick, because there is no way of knowing how long the rest of the stick (switches/electronics) is going to last. With maybe the pivot pins riding in a solid bearing made of bearing bronze. X-axis pivot or Y-axis saddle with something made of a sturdier material like aluminum. I've had this stick so long I can no longer remember if it was this loose when I bought it, but I think not.Įverything is plastic of course, and I figure that to tighten up the gimbal I would have to encase all bearing surfaces/pivot pins in metal, or replace the entire piece, i.e.
In moving the stick around and loading/unloading the gimbal mechanism I can literally see the looseness/wear in it's pivots. Sloppy handle/shaft interface and front heavy handle has mine tilting forward at rest (centered).īut the real problem is.the whole gimbal mechanism is showing signs of wear. And, the stick itself is nose heavy (tilts forward) exacerbating the sloppy handle to shaft fitment. I was unable to get the handle off of the shaft it is mounted to, but it is definitely a sloppy fit on that shaft. After looking into this a bit, I am unsure how I will proceed.
