Gents, could some user of X52 tell me what is this clutch button for? (I have it turned off and use it as a regular button)

Good question: I've never figuered that out

Now my question to you is :::::: how do you turn it off and use it as a "Button"

the "Pinkie" lever on the stick is another one ????????

Hi Guys

I have recently bought the game and have a X52 (not Pro)

Does anyone have a profile for this game they could email to me ?

Also I can never see any games in multiplay in the lobby, are there any servers that people play on ?

Thanks

Click on "client" instead of lobby.

I use the SST software and have built different profiles for different planes.
In IL2 for example i have setups for bombers with auto level, bomb bay switch etc.
Also - for example - you can use same button to open landing gears with planes which have different buttons to operate (auto or manual Landing gear).
Also you can set up different profiles for different servers (externals on, full switch etc.).

The clutch button disables all buttons. If you have named the buttons using SST then when you press a button the name you gave that particular button is displayed in the MFD. If you have lots of profiles you can check the function of a button without it actually doing anything in game by pressing the Clutch button.

To make it a regular button just open Windows control Panel and launch the x52 properties box, navigate to the section for MFD/Buttons brightness and you will see a check box for the option to use the 'clutch' button as a normal button.

The clutch button is more useful with the X52 pro as it displays any names assigned to the POV switches (of which there are 36 possible assignments)- the Standard X52 doesn't and only shows names assigned to the regular buttons.
