? FAQ
What is the difference between X52 and X52 Professional?
The **X52 Professional** features an enhanced dual-spring centering mechanism, higher-quality metal construction for key components, and a more advanced MFD (Multifunction Display). It also allows for multi-color LED customization, whereas the standard X52 has static lighting.
How do I get the MFD to show in-game information?
The MFD requires specific applets to communicate with flight simulators. Ensure the **Logitech Flight Driver** is installed. For many simulators like MSFS 2020, you may need a third-party plugin or to enable “External Applets” in the driver settings to see live radio or navigation data on the keyboard’s display.
The stick isn’t centering properly, what can I do?
Open the **Logitech Flight Software Control Panel** and check the “Test” tab. If the stick is slightly off-center, you can adjust the “Deadzone” sliders in the “Settings” tab. This tells the computer to ignore small movements around the center, ensuring your plane stays level when you release the stick.
