I can see my x52 recognized using Logitech driver. And, the embedded x52 profile is for x52 Pro. If I load the profile but used it on a X52 (not pro), it will cause the problem I described earlier - it will make you impossible to continue to do anything in the main menu section, unless you unplug x52 (not pro).

Get ready to be immersed and have the best Elite Dangerous gaming experience that a piece of hardware can. This first part goes over the buttons and the clutch feature of the Saitek X52. Sep 16, 2016 I've been saving up for a HOTAS to play with, and I've done quite a bit of research. I was using the stock saitek ED profile. So in ED under controls I would select 'Saitek X52 pro' as the control defaults. I installed voiceattack with ASTRA, I imported the '1.6.5 Full House Profile - HOTAS.vap' profile into voiceattack, set VA to active window. Then I copied 'HCSPacks X52 Pro.binds' in.

With its high maneuverability, thick armor, solid speed, and strong firepower, the Vulture is the fighter of choice for many Elite Dangerous players.
I recently got a second-hand Saitek x52 (non-pro) HOTAS to play Star Wars Squadrons and Elite Dangerous, but after my space binge (more on that later) I've been playing more terrestrial flight games such as DCS world, Falcon 4.0/BMS/AF, Red Baron, and many, many more just to see what games would cooperate with the x52 and let me justify keeping this thing on my desk.
Along the way, I found several profiles on the internet, and adapt the examples from Saitek's website and Logitech's website to work on other games. Below is a list of games I've managed to get working with the X52, how I did it, how to improve on the 'out-of-the-box' experience, and sometimes, profiles and key config files.
For some older games, I had to use Joystick Gremlin. You can learn more about Joystick Gremlin, and it's dependency vJoy here - https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/
I'm no where near complete with my testing, but as I've already tested over a dozen games, I thought I'd post them here now, and fill in the details later. I will be adding links to profiles where you can download Saitek/Logitech profiles, and also my own profiles. I'm in the process of creating visual aids for my profiles before posting, so more to come.. for now, Here's what I've got.
OOTB Ready To Go (with Official Profiles, or just built-in support, sometimes both) - http://www.lowichateg1976.simpsite.nl/pioneer-dj-wego-2012-software-for-mac.
- Ace Combat 7 - Works 'out of the box' but the buttons are not intuitive.
- XPlane 11 - Never easier to setup.
- Microsoft Flight SImulator X - Pretty simple to setup also
- Rise of Flight - Logitech has a profile for this on their support site! []
- IL-2:1946 -
- Falcon 4.0 -
- Falcon AT -
- Falcon -
- Falcon Gold -
- Air Conflicts - Secret Wars - if you're using vJoy, you must either use vJoy, or set the x52 as the 'default for older programs' in 'joy.cpl'
- Falcon BMS - provided profiles in the docs directory
- Wings of Prey - Logitech provides a quite comprehensive profile on their support site []
Some Assembly Required
- Star Wars: Squadrons - This game (mostly) works out of the box. You will have to disable the 'clutch' button via `joy.cpl` or remap boost if you wish to use that feature, and some of the default button positions don't fall perfectly on the x52. For the most part though, it's totally playable. I use my `DEFAULTS` profile and some custom binds in the game. You can find both here - []
- Falcon AF - Saitek actually provides a profile for Falcon 4 that works amazingly well, and BMS also ships with a great default profile, however, if you want to play Falcon Allied Forces, you won't have such luck. I've managed to piece this together from the Falcon 4 profile (which almost works..) but it's not perfect yet. []
- Elite: Dangerous - I actually found this to be the easiest to map, because I found this very early - https://github.com/X52EliteSetup If you're looking to setup your x52(pro/nonpro) on ED, this is a great starting point.

- Red Baron Pack (Steam GOG) (Joystick Gremlin) - This game requires joystick gremlin to work correctly
- Star Wars X-Wing Alliance (Joystick Gremlin optional) - This game works out of the box with the X52, but if you want to fix the annoying Rudder/Roll swap that drives people to fly with only 2-axes?, you can just use Joystick Gremlin and swap the axes there.
- Blazing Angels 2 (joystick Gremlin) - Required axes swap
