Is there not a post somewhere that describes how to configure the X52 for ED? Imagine a blank slate. If you'd like my bindings I can DM them to you.I just spent 2 hours digging through the forums here and elsewhere and trying to get my old Saitek X52 Pro to behave properly in Elite Dangerous and I can't figure out the right combination to get it to work right. These are the videos I used initially to get a good starting point for controls.Įlite Dangerous HOTAS Control Setup | Saitek X52 Pro I got the X52 as a present around 2019, but I've long since swapped the included stick for a VKB Gladiator NXT due to stick drift. The general consensus in the Elite community is to start with a pre-established guide or profile for setting up your HOTAS/HOSAS, then make adjustments while you're playing to make sure the controls are ergonomic for you personally. So is anyone here using this combination and if so could you post how you configured yours? I found the util to turn on LED's and such, but nothing for configuring the buttons.

The default x52 profile for me doesn't seem to have it bound either. You need to bind this control in the game settings. I also can't figure out how to use the mode switch. I'm betting you accidentally enabled head-look mode. However the default layout in ED does not work well, for example pushing the center POW up seems to lock up the UI, at least I think that was it.
