Squawk Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi there! My X52 Pro broke :( The Stick isnt responding anymore :( So i don't have my lovely X52 Pro anymore. I got an unused Thrustmaster TFlight HOTAS X My Question is has anyone XP with that stick? Is it "possible" to fly with that Stick? I know it's not an HOTAS Warthog etc but just for 2-3 months until i can buy a new one. (Flying A10C and learning M2000) Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1966 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hello, I have been using my TM Hotas x for about 4 years now. for the price It works fine, though it takes a little creative mapping. I fly heilos, a-10c ,M-2000, and ww11 stuff no problem with it. the major drawback is only one hat switch.

VZ_342 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I use the X, and it works just fine. I even was using the twist-grip for the rudders until I got actual rudders (CH Pro). Yes, it could use a few more buttons, and so could the throttle. But is a few more buttons worth $300-$400 more in a HOTAS...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 i use it, i use the 2 buttons (9 and 10) on the back of the throttle as modifiers and that gives me 40 buttons and 4 hats. 10 buttons with no modifier, 10 with button 9, 10 with button 10 and 10 with both 9+10. the stick is a bit creaky, probably needs opening up a greasing but other than that i think its great for the price (mine was free so even better!)

Fionn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 i fly m2k with it and i have lots mapped even stuff like master arm and guns arm. I have some of the stores mapped too. I have set things i use for all the modules, such as both modifiers and button 8 as knee board on and off, I also dont use track ir or vr so the hat is my view, use one modifier with hat for radar slew, and the other modifier for trim, i use both modifiers and the hat for rudder trim. i do this for all modules.

Fionn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 i have f5e, m2k, f15c that i fly regular and i dont need the keyboard for anything except radio and throttle off for powering down engines at the end of a flight in the f5e, i think i might even have that mapped in the m2k!!!

Squawk Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Thank you all for the answers! I'm trying to map the device now ;) I use VoiceAttack for some Commands as Lock Target or Unlock etc to have more buttons free for other stuff like Slave etc..
