Thanks, looking forward to busting out my X52 for this, worked wonders in X3.

One question though, that a fellow X52 user might know....

That little round connector cable that goes from throttle to stick... connecting the two....
Any Idea where a fella might be able to order a replacement?

I can't find them anywhere and I've been looking for a long time.
I dont exactly know what to call the cable either, so that doesn't help much either.

At any rate, I have bookmarked this post and will return once I find my cable.
Nice post and Thank you! :D
I believe it's a PS/2 cable

Yes, the saitek driver and software were installed and the enabled clutch was untick.

I find what was the problem, the profile wasn't loading properly and the created profil or the exported one needed to be in the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\Logitech§\X52\ to work :P

I should read dreatern first post when he said :
" ---X4 Foundations.pr0 (SAITEK SOFTWARE Profile)
Save anywhere, PREFERABLY INSIDE THE DEFAULT PROFILE FOLDER."

for me preferably mean " has to be inside the default profile folder " :lol:

Thanks for the help

I don't really know, but the connection looks like the old keyboard\mouse ps2 cable to me, maybe hotwire one to your cable.

OK, found out what the problem was, the .pr0 file has separate profiles for different controllers.
I modified it to also work with the X52 Pro.

Here's the file if anyone's interested:

First I'll say thanks and great work for the OP. Saves a LOT of time for folks having to program their own.
Noticed that you're not taking advantage of the 3 modes the x52 has available.
My thought today was to have mode 2 be for short range scan.
Have the switch to mode 2 turn on short range scan and set throttles to 3/4 speed as usually when you're scanning you're poking around slowly looking for that sparkly thing.
Just an idea.
I'm sure within a couple months we'll have some that use all 3 modes.
Cheers and thanks again for not making us all start out at zero!

I have not added multiple modes to keep the map simple, with PINKIE + POV 1 UP you have quick access to Modes (Travel, Short and Long Scan), Deploy, Deploy (Military), Flight Assist, Stand Up, Trade (if you are at the station), Ship Info, Buy ships, Upgrade/Repair, Undock....

Is this working only with the new Logitech software that they took over from Saitek?

I tried the new Logitech and prefer to stay with the old Saitek SST and driver.

Works with the old saitek software.
It's the same. The Logitech one install a lot of useless things and a ugly UI shell around the saitek software.

I can not thank you enough, for posting making this for us. Why they could not have made it simple to begin with is beyond me. But huge KUDOS to you, now I can feel like a real pilot and not a Star Trek one. I only remapped a few keys and bam off to the moon. Makes dog fighting so much easier then a mouse and KB. Again Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this profile. I have installed this and am using an X52 Pro. It shows up and I am able to use it in the game, but a few quick questions:

- I have disabled the Clutch in the MFD Windows settings but still cannot look around the cockpit when I hold the pinky switch and move the POV 2 hat

- The POV 2 hat doesn't correspond to the layout graphic. Instead in my game it activates the directional 4-way thrusters to move my ship right, left, up, or down.

- Where on the X52 Pro throttle can the Stop Engines, Long Ranger Scan, and Dock/Teleport to ship actions be accessed? Since the X52 pro throttle doesn't have the three mode buttons at the base like the X52 throttle does.

- The Clutch Button/Boost command acts as a boost in reverse direction, which surprises me. Is that intentional? I would prefer that it is a boost forward.

- Pinky switch and POV 1 also don't operate like indicated in the layout image. The pinky switch doesn't appear to do anything when in the ship.

Thanks.

Isn't looking around the cockpit with POV hats broken in general? It's listed as a fix in the 2.50 beta patch notes.

Gack, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Can anyone take a shot at answering my other questions?

@ Velswraith: Welcome, but please check the date of posts that you reply to. That issue was asked and resolved nearly a year ago.

Try remapping some of those things in the profiler software to keyboard strokes you have assigned in-game, that way you can even set up multiple commands to a single button, make it timed, alternated, latched, etc.

I used that a lot in SPGW to create finer movements on the stick (say, low angles spamming roll/turn/thrust key strokes at slower intervals than high angles)

Out of curiosity, how do you folks split your profiles with the three-way Mode knob? I have one for combat and one for map, but one sits barely used.

edit: if you have a spare monitor it'll be a life-saver to keep the profiler on so you can see what does what (assuming you name functions in it when saving key strokes)

Throttle to joystick connector is PS/2 i believe. OLD mice and keyboards once used them to connect to computers.

I know it's an old post but still very relevant and I'm using both on an X52. I've waited over a year to get started and V3.0 plus Split Vendetta seemed like a perfect start point. I've also dug out my Roccat Power grid and this with the Elite style mapping has made it a real joy so far. Thanks OP
