Ideal joystick for Falcon BMS and Track IR…is it worth getting?
-
I’m on the verge of deciding what to get…X52 Pro. Some people like it, some dont, but i noticed a comment on a review for the X52 Pro saying “whatever you do, dont get the X52”…but the X52 Pro seems to be worth it. The review was very positive for the X52 Pro, the review was done by FlightSimReviews and the guy gave it 5/5. What are peoples thoughts on the Pro?

I’ve had both the X52 and the X52 Pro …. I prefer the pro.
In both cases the slider tended to be a little jittery. May or may not matter depending what you map to it. Cleaning the pot would probably fix it.

What is the slider? have to admit im a complete newbie to joysticks.

It’s a …. … slider … on the throttle. Look at pics of and X52/X52 Pro. Check some of the profiles in the Saitek sub-forum (https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?52-Saitek) to see how different people apply it in BMS.

X52 is a great stick to cut your teeth with! As for track IR, I have not used it until only two weeks ago….am blown away from the perspective it gives me. Definitely a must have if you want to hit the ground running. Totally changed my flight(and experience) all round. But I did learn the craft without it, so like some have said, start with a stick.

Ultimate Saitek HOTAS = X65
That plus TrackIR 5 pro and you are pretty much future proof … for a while.
