Map the pinkie as normal.This package contains the files needed for installing the Mad Catz Saitek X52 Flight Controller Driver. Then select save, and save the profile as “Elite Dangerous”.įinally right click the joystick in the notification area, and select the elite dangerous profile you have just created. Then right click on “Pinkie switch” and ensure “Fall Back” is ticked, (you will see a check mark beside it). Delete all of them, until there is only 1 column left. You need to open the software, go to “programming”, click view, until you see a “grid” view, displaying all of the shifted modes. That however is not enough to make the Pinkie recognised.
This version installed without issue, and I now have the joystick icon in the notification area on the bottom right of the windows desktop. Software Version: 8.0.132.0 / Last Update: The “GOOD” Version, or at least the version that worked for me was: Instead : click “Show All Downloads”, and you will see previous versions. It does not have the programming software included, and drivers can be problematic. This is the version you will be pointed to, if you go directly to the Logitech support downloads. The latest “BAD” version is Software Version: 8.0.213.0 / Last Update:

Sometimes, it will appear as unknown device, so you cannot even change it to Generic USB. Often they simply will not detect the X52, unless you manually change it in device manager to Generic USB device. The problem is then compounded by the fact that the new Logitech drivers, come with their own set of issues. I used to use the “Madcatz” software, but that doesn’t work, and will not detect the X52 under win10, and USB3 (well not in my case anyway). Firstly, some of the solutions you see, which are correct, talk about the programming software / grid view, joystick icon on the notification area. So I finally put a bit of time into this to try to figure it out, and got the solution. I had this working, but for some reason, it does not (or rather did not) work with new Logitech drivers for Win10. For all you pilots out there who are having issues with the pinkie switch.
