Is this "New Version" really have the multi-control or joystick as shown in the picture? Lots of reviewers said no but some of them said yes.

Yes it has a multi-control joystick. I was shipped an older version, and when picked a different vendor I got the joystick.

it does not. if you don't use Live, buy a different controller. If you DO use Live, this is the one to own. Very hackable too btw. I love this thing and would absolutely recommend.

This picture is accurate. There is only one fader (slider) control on the left, three buttons and pitch and mod wheels. That's it -no multiple programmable sliders. Someone must have used the wrong picture.

It appears to be an updated version. It's a nice game, but not the original that we played when we were kids. It does look very similar,however.

Elite Dangerous was my primary reason for buying this joystick. It works very well and has increased my enjoyment of the game immensely, compared to my std joystick plus keyboard I used prior to the X52. ED comes with a controller profile for the X52 specifically and since patch 1.03 (currently up to 1.04) has had icons for each button on the X52 beside the controls in the setup screen, making it even easier to customise. There are discussions on the X52 in the Elite Dangerous forums where you can get a lot of advice and help ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=26644&page;=1 is one example).Definitely my best buy for Elite Dangerous.

It's fake, the give away is that there is no X in the middle of the home button for the controller like past remotes manufactured by Xbox were still given an X on the home button. The other give away was the color of the analog sticks both of the analog sticks on the remote controls manufactured by Microsoft had either all Grey analog sticks and D pads while this one has a brownish grayish hue to them and a completely different color to the D pad this remote is not authentic unfortunately i have yet to find a wired remote that is authentic at any gaming utility stores near me but you might find one at an authentic one at at your nearest Microsoft Store.

I use the C.H.products flight sim yoke and rudder pedals.But my logitec extreme 3D pro joystick works well too.its is really what you personally prefer.joystick or flight yoke and pedals.

Yes it will. You have to clear all the default joystick setting tho in the game. It's pretty straight forward.However, Ive noticed that in BF4 there is a button or two that seems to be bugged. I use the two buttons in front of the throttle to afterburner, and it keeps opening up a damn menu.In all honesty, it works wonders in BF3... But worst in BF4, They seem to have optimized it mainly for the game pad and mouse/keyboard... At least when flying a heli. "i'm not much of a jet guy."

On picture I see controller & tablet, but description included only controller. It price only 250$, I bought for this price.

Yes it does, but only on the 1998 one. I have only played around with it for 30 minutes or so, but out-of-the-box, the joystick can control the trigger, select object in reticule, select nearest starfighter. The throttle sets the speed but not on a gradient; it's full on, 2/3, 1/3, and 0. There are buttons that set each of these too. I don't think there was anything else. The 1993 game has fewer working controls: just steer, fire, roll, and select object in reticule. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to customize the calibration.

Yes, not the "new version" of the landing gear. I have them both and I like the reliability of the original better than the new version... If that is what you are wondering.

No sadly it dosnt. They stopped progress on it due to bugs but it does have autopilot which means that it automatically stabilizes itself when you let go of all controls so it won't crash. That's a huge help but it doesn't have the return home chip in it.

No it doesn't you have to buy a separate control for it to work. This modle is old look at the new ones

Sorry, but I have no idea. I received the wrong item when I ordered the USB version of the joystick. All it had was an analog/digital adapter cable. In addition to it not being a direct USB made model, it did not have the Force-Feedback, which is what I was looking for. Good Luck if you are able to find a MS-Sidewinder w/Force-Feedback/USB version. The only ones I ever found on the World-Wide-Web were entirely too expensive.

hi mode one is popular everywhere but the US it puts the throttle control on the right joy stick I use and recommend mode 2 as that's how most controllers are set up in US and any other way could cause confusion when flying different models

It does. There are better HoTaS options with more buttons on both hands, but this is a great stick for the price.

well it is a great controller but it doesnt have the sixaxis feature wich only matters on the ps3 exclusives such as god of war infamous uncharted and last of us but ever other game will play as usual
