Can this G X56 Hotas be used with the MSFS 2020 on a PC without any problems? I now have the Saitek X52. If it doesn't work, can I return it? Thanks for any info. FG André Schiltknecht
Hello André
I've been flying with the X65 Hotas since the start of FS 2020 without any problems. The PC is an Omen 30L GT13, graphics card a GeForce 3090Ti. Everything runs very well and smoothly. If anything causes problems, it's the Microsoft software. Since the beginning, we have been confronted with almost countless updates that have generated new problems every time. I think the X56 is currently one of the best controllers and very customisable, but it's actually already old. Logitech has unfortunately not jumped on the FS 2020 bandwagon and so, as far as I know, there are no "modern" controllers.
Best regards and have a good flight

I use the X56 HOTAS USB with XPlane 11 and 12 under Linux. It is recognised as a standard joystick (i.e. the throttle as one joystick, the flight stick as a second joystick). No special drivers are required. All buttons, sticks and controllers work. There is no reason why the stick should not work with operating systems that recognise USB joysticks and programs with general joystick support.
Hello, I can only say that it works great for me, the only thing is setting up all the functions, but that's another topic, everything works but takes time.
Postscript: At first, the part didn't seem to work for me, so I sent it back and received a new one without any problems. In retrospect, it was clear that the problem - as already mentioned - was not with the X56 but with the software.
