In order to find your correct GUID and product ID open up windows device manager.įind your X52 H.O.T.A.S. In my personal case, I had to modify it to:ĭevice DeviceName=“Saitek X52 Flight Control System” GUID=“745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da” ProductID=“0255” This line then needs to be modified to match your hardware ID:ĭevice DeviceName=“Saitek X52 Flight Control System” GUID=“9a117810-f09c-11e7-8002-444553540000” ProductID=“075C” Then edit this file in a text editor of your choice (I used notepad++). Call it Saitek_X52_Flight_Control_System2.xml or something. Then locate the Saitek_X52_Flight_Control_System.xml file and make a copy. I have the steam version but the same will apply for any version, just locatate the input directory in your MSFS2020 install directory.ĭ:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\Inputīut your location upto the STEAM folder is likley to differ.

It turns out that the MSFS2020 controller profiles for the X52 has a hardware GUID ID and product ID that does NOT match those of my X52 for keymapping detection. That asside, I still manged to get it working eventully with some file tweaks. Its funny that the latest version of the X52_HOTAS_圆4_8_0_213_0.exe driver package only seems to contain the 8.0.116.0 drivers rather than the 8.0.213.0 drivers that the professional version driver package does. So - I went through the same process as you all and messed about with drivers and several attempts at unplugging and replugging at different stages. So I had the same issue as all of you with a standard old X52 (not pro).
