GETTING STARTED

In order for this product to function correctly please install the software from

logitech.com/support/x52-pro

MAINTAINING YOUR CONTROLLER SETTINGS

Your Logitech X52 Professional HOTAS is supplied ready for use. However, we want you to

use it in the way that suits you best. We’ve therefore included the facility for you to change

various settings on your stick and throttle units.You can, for example, vary the brightness

of the LED buttons, check your stick is working correctly or change the way the date is

displayed on your Multi-Functional Display (MFD).

You change your controller settings in the properties window for your HOTAS. You can access

this by opening the Devices and Printers screen in Windows, right-clicking on the X52 and

then selecting Game Controllers.

In Game Controllers select the X52 Professional HOTAS and then click Properties.

The X52 Professional HOTAS properties window consists of ve separate tabs. You can

view and change various controller settings in each tab. The settings you can change are

described in the following sections.

Testing your controller

1. Click the Test tab.

The controller features that you can test are displayed below.

2. Test each feature as required.

The way you do this varies, depending on what the feature does. It may, for example,

involve pressing the corresponding button, or turning the corresponding rotary control.

ENGLISH

Maintaining deadzones

You can create deadzones for each range and axis your controller features move in.

Theyreduce interference that may be caused by unintended movements of the ight

stickand other controls. For example, you may want to move your stick in the X axis only,

but nd it dicult to avoid moving it in the Y axis as you do so. You can set up a deadzone

inthe Y axis so that these minor movements are not detected by the drivers.

What is a deadzone?

A deadzone is a part of the range in which an axis moves that is not detected by

thedriversand so has no eect on the game in progress. It may be around the center point

of therange, or at either end.

To maintain your deadzones

1. Click the Deadzone tab.

The controls you can create deadzones

forare shown, as follows:

Each axis is represented by a white box

thatcontains a red line that represents

where the control is currently sitting.

Movingthe corresponding control moves

thered line. Use this line to determine exactly

where yourdeadzone must begin and end.

Beneatheach box is a sliding scale. You use

this to specify the size of each deadzone.

2. Click on a slider on the sliding scale and

drag it to where you want the deadzone

to end. The area that represents

thedeadzone is shaded gray.

3. Use the center sliders to maintain

thedeadzone around the center point of

an axis. Use the sliders at either end to

create deadzones at either end of the axis.

Tips: By default, clicking on either the right or the left slider in the pair moves both sliders.

You can change this if you just want to adjust one side of the deadzone. To dothis,

right-click anywhere in the white box and select Link Deadzones from the popup list

ofoptions displayed. Repeat this to link the pairs of sliders again.

You can clear existing deadzones for an axis by right-clicking anywhere in the white box

andselecting Clear Deadzone.

ENGLISH

Maintaining your LED brightness

The authenticity of the ight control

experience provided by your LogitechG

X52 Professional HOTAS is enhanced

byanumber of LEDs on the throttle unit

and ight stick.

You can control the appearance of these

LEDs, making them brighter or dimmer

according to your preference.

You can also change the colour of

thedierent button LEDs, with a choice

ofgreen, amber or red for most of

thebuttons.

To maintain LED brightness

1. Click the LEDs tab.

A sliding scale is displayed, which you

can use to choose how brightly the LEDs

on your stick and throttle are displayed:

2. Move the slider on the scale to adjust

LED brightness. The LEDs change as

you move the slider, so you can make

sure they are as you want them to be.

Youcan either:

• Click and drag the slider along

thescale Or:

• Click a point on the scale itself,

tomove the slider in graduated steps

along the scale.

Maintaining MFD settings

Your unit includes an MFD, or Multi-

Functional Display. You can control the way

information is displayed in your MFD by

changing various settings in the MFD tab:

What is the MFD?

The MFD is a screen that displays a variety

of dierent information including, for

example, the mode currently selected and

today’s date. It is part of the same unit as

your throttle. The MFD itself and the way it

works is explained in more detail in Using

the MFD.
