Just got my xmas pressy today, how do I get the LCD display to work with Elite Dangerous? I know its something to do with profiles, but I cant find the files anywhere (running windows 10)

Saitek X52 Question
- Thread starter Darth-Simba
- Start date
The x52 display will not currently work with ED. You may get it to work with some 3'rd party tools though.
Cheers

Its a million times better than my logitech extreme 3d pro.
I can stay on the 6 of even the small ships in my ferdy, not something I could do with my old stick.
All the buttons are in easy to reach places and I only use the keyboard now for menu navigation.
I hope FD really pushes for the LCD support, it would be cool if it shown stuff like shield percentage or something like that. Bounty on wanted targets for another idea.

I know the display works with FSX and maybe DCS but I've actually never bothered with it.
It looks good though. Surprised someone hasn't made a util to program it/link it with games?
I've used Saitek HOTAS since the days of Jane's flight sims.

I was the same but bought my x52 from Amazon and thought if it was a bust I could return it easy. Mine has worked great from day one. That was 8 months ago. The only thing extra I did was apply some lithium grease to the bottom disk/plate/thingy on the flight stick so it moved smoothly.
I never once said it was the pro version. I asked a simple question and I have my answers.

Congrats on your Christmas prezzy! 
I've heard some stories about how the X52 throttle kinda gives out after a short while, so don't throw away your Logitech stick. I'm using the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro with the X52 throttle. Works great. I was able to find 2 working spare throttles, but X52 sticks don't seem to be available for backup.
I had to calibrate my Logitech before it worked well with ED. Before calibration, it always tended to roll and yaw left.
<edit> I pulled the detents out of the X52 throttle. makes it a lot friendlier to use. </edit>

Good luck with it. If it starts acting up, get it returned straight away. I've spent a year going through the motions with Saitek tech support and the juice is NOT worth the squeeze.
