I use it for Elite Dangerous and it works great.I also use it for "Star Citizen"if you haven't heard it, it check it out on youtube.

It will work. Almost every single control can be assigned to something. Either you can set it up, or download a profile from Saitek. Personally, I use it more for X-Plane and Flight Simulator, so this isnt my top-quality response, but it will work with Elite Dangerous. Try watching some videos ;)

That is what I bought it for. It works great for me. You can also setup the profile in ED the way you prefer. Takes a little adjusting and tweeking. So when you first start in ED use the trainer to test and get all the buttons assigned the way you want. I did not like the canned ED setup for the X52. So I did a custom setup and tested in the trainer before using it in game. Good luck

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.

Yes indeed... it is the default joystick in Star Citizen's Arena Commander and works well. This is the main reason I purchased this stick.

Thank you for the inquiry. The game was found in an estate sale and from what we read some say yes it will work but some say no. So I will have to say no it will not work with a joystick.

I believe it would, as long as you have the appropriate USB cable. I believe Amazon sells those cables, but not positive. I received the dx5e and cable in the package. If you can afford to upgrade to the dx6e, you will have full access to all controls and 3D flight (I'm still working on that one myself). Best wishes and good luck.

@Hank: The software included is junk. It only works with a dozen or so EA games.Any game that has joystick or gamepad support will work with this Logitech joystick. ;-)

Shelly, I Have A Brand New Acer Computer With A 64 Bit System And All The Necessary Equipment To Run xplane 10, My Problem Is Not The Computer. It Is Setting Up The Game Operation. For Instance, I Can't Get The Null Zones Properly Set For Positive Control Of The Airplanes, In Addition, The Throttle Will Not Decrease To 600 Rpm During Landing Approach, It Decreased To 1000 rpm. Very Hard To Control Landings.my Last Flt Sim. Game Was 95, Lots Of Changes Plus This Game Is More REal. I Am Going To Contact X-Plane Support For Both Problems. It's Getting Better. Thank You

It didn't work for me for any other game but Simraceway. When I contacted tech support, they told me that it was designed exclusively for Simraceway and no other game (despite claims to the contrary in the sales specs).

Yes it should work with windows 8. I still enjoy this sim. It's not as complicated as some other air combat sims although some missions seem impossible to win. Enjoy&#128077;.

It works flawlessly, not considering some bugs in game itself.If dx9 problem occurs, refer to http://steamcommunity.com/app/47810/discussions/0/558751812749741621/I didn't have such problem but some does.Enjoy!

It should, it may not work with particular game though. You may lose some of the functions of your flight stick.

Works great and I love it. For those that are wishing for more hat switches you can use the three thumb buttons on the throttle as modifiers (similar to shift, ctrl or alt) to the main stick buttons in controller setup. This multiplies the buttons on the main stick: You essentially have 4 hats, 4 triggers, and 4x2 thumb buttons on the main stick. I just assign each throttle button to a ship function- like #1 = defensive countermeasures, #2 = navigating/docking operations, #3 = utility (i.e. deploy cargo scoop, silent running, etc.) and I have more than enough capability with this setup. Another nice feature that compliments the game is the middle detent in the throttle that allows you to easily locate zero-throttle versus reverse throttle. Highly recommend for Elite:Dangerous.

I use this with Star Citizen right now, and it works flawlessly. The hat switch is fine for controlling strafing, but for maximum control you'll want two t16000m's or a Warthog+t16000m dual stick setup. I started with one 16k, then went to two, and now have a warthog+t16k+pedals. The main advantage of the warthog over the 16k is the addition of buttons, they're both fantastically accurate. Hope this helps!

Will not work if connected to the on star system. Will work if connected as if you do not have on star.

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.

I suppose that if you buy it, you know what's it's for, that is to use with a plane simulator (the Joystick is used for pitch and roll control, and pedals for rudder/yaw control); Depending of what sort of sim. software you use, settings for this devise is generaly in the same control panel than the joystick one. On Windows you'll perhaps need to installe the drivers for it (for Mac nothing to do, as usual, it runs)

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.

This was my son's and he says it is designed to do this. Just launch it; as long as you are following the instructions, it should be fine.
