hey there my friend. I hear your interested in the X52 profile! good to hear, alot of people go out and spend the 90 bucks for the joystick but only 20% know how to use it! go figure!
As for the Clutch button! the clutch button is actually the little " I " button that is on the throttle unit, near the mouse controls. This button allows the stick to switch thru all or any available profile for your X52. try this out... make sure all the LED's are turned on first. next press and hold the Clutch button, you will notice that the little hatswitch control on your joystick has a blinking light. You will also notice while holding the clutch button, that the LCD display on your throttle unit changed from "No Profile" to "..." this is basically your "harddrive location". Now what this does is allow you to switch thru different profiles while in game, w/o having to exit the game and change the profile on your desktop. But now back to getting it to work!
Hold down that clutch button, and use the HAT switch on the joystick the "Down" function on the hat switch allows you to browse thru your harddrive folders to find the profile you are looking for. the "Left" direction on the HAT switch allows you to go back in folders to go to a differnt folder, and the "Right" is to select the profile. take a few moments to play around with this so you get familar. it will all make sence once you to some poking.
now attactch is the profile that i have been working on. I havn't completed it, like the forum says, but it is rather time consuming, and High Tech is working on updating their command list, so some of the keyboard commands they give in the help forum are invailid. But basically this profile should give you the jist of how to operate and program it.
Hopefully this helps you out, and im glad to see someone actually cares about the X52. and wants to learn how to use the full potention of the 90 bucks you spent on it! like i said only 20% know lol.
Any more help you may need hopefully i can help ya out. Let me know!!
The following files you want to dowload into your Saitek folder "usually c:\programfiles\saitek"
Once there practice using your clutch button to load up that profile, should be labled Aces High on you LCD screen on the throttle unit when browsing the harddrive!
Goodluck!!
