It was from here that I created profiles for MSFS and X-Plane, so I have to remember when to use one or the other, but you see the icon in the Task Bar of all the software loaded, you will see the small icon for the Joystick that allows you to choose profile. You have to install the Programming Software as well which loads when booting your PC. I did not use any buttons or wheels in the MFD, and if they where assigned by default to anything I removed it.

Like I said I installed the driver, once recognized by MSFS, I assigned the proper buttons and axis, save it. Also the quality of my X52 is somewhat better than what Logitech has been selling for what I read on the subject, finally I don’t believe in magic. The Programing Software came with my original X52 that I purchased from Saitek a few years back, the one in the Logitech site is the same one. I don’t have any Saitek Panels of any kind connected to this machine. I also use the Programing Software for the X52 and I have 2 profiles, one for MSFS, and another for X-Plane, this software loads at booting time and I get an icon in the starting tab from where I can choose the profile I need. I may add that it works the same way in X-Plane 11. It also flashes the name of any button you use in a separate line.

I made sure I did not assign any of the buttons or rotating wheels in the MFD to any commands, my MFD illuminates when computer is on and shows local or UTC time, it also works like a stopwatch, and shows the Com 1,2, Nav 1,2 frequencies when I fly. I installed the X52 with the driver from Logitech. In one of my computers I have the X52 Pro connected to a USB Hub, a switch box I made also connected to the Hub.
