I’ve noticed that my X52 is starting to loose center when flying around.
When I practice air refueling, I am lining up making small corrections. Next thing I know, my plane is in an uncontrollable roll to the left. It’s slight enough to notice and very annoying. I exit out of the mission and then go back to the control screen and sure enough, the joystick is not centered.
I’ve tried to search this topic but didn’t really come up with anything in the forums.
Anyone have more detailed information on this? Is it the potentiometers going bad in the darn thing? This is so frustrating! It’s like it’s loosing calibration in game. 😞
I cleaned the drivers and software off according to the guide on this forum and reinstalled the drivers, plugged the device in, confirmed latest drivers in Device Manager, and then the software. Loaded the profiles and made the necessary changes in the controller screen.
Thank you in advance.

If it is the x52 and not the x52pro you might wanna try this: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?19571-X52-Sudden-down-input-when-sick-is-centered&p=281864&viewfull=1#post281864 !!!
Whereas it is important to differentiate between if it is the electronics “bug” as described in the link above, or if the problem you are describing is truly caused by “worn out” mechanics (thus play and shake). If it is the x52pro, then it is most likely a mechanical “play” issue as the 52pro has not that electronically caused “off-center bug” the x52 had.
In the latter case try fixing those:
the sensor holding “BARs”, which are in the same time the “gliding RAILs” for the magnets-shoes can get sometimes “loose”, causing a “play” and thus the “off-center” effects. Just tighten them (the screws (green arrows)) a bit. there are not POTIs, which can go “bad” or “dirty”. x52, x52pro and x-55 use magnetic hall-sensors, so that´s not your problem.As far as for Warthogh HOTAS… one is totally “screwed” if that happens:
