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.

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.

8
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.

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.
