X52 Pro HOTAS not working
I've attempted a few things to get the game to see the HOTAS, it just don't see it.
Here is what I have one-
Not used the default profile, I attempted to make my own and it just dont see the joystick
I loaded a profile from the forums
https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=404286
That did not work.

I'm using the Logitech drivers (Not the Saitek ones)
Other games see it, such as Elite Dangerous Microsoft Flight Sim X, and DCS World all work with the unit with no problems. This seems exclusive to X4 Foundations
I’ve attempted both profiles the X52 one I found in the game, and the one from that webpage, I’ve even attempted to remap the controls, but the X4 game just don’t want to acknowledge the Joystick is hooked up. I also have a G13 key game pad, I’ve disconnected it to see if perhaps the X4 game was trying to use the joystick (Thumb control stick) From it however both testing it in game and the thumb joystick it just reads that as a mouse movement and not ship movement. I have attempted with and without it plugged in.
I’ve verified my games files and of course updated the Logitech drivers, with no change. I’m kind of out of ideas, it worked before but for some reason has stopped working.

Thanks for any advice.

I got a similar problem, the game recognizes my x52 pro, but I can't find a picture that I could print and that shows me what button does what. I could install the profile mentioned in the original post, but there is some limitation with that where not all the buttons are the same and there is no function button on the throttle side, there is a start/stop and reset button and the long range scan and the dock / teleport to ship function is a function I use alot, there is however no possible way to load that profile and have those functions reprogrammed from the normal x52 to the x52 pro layout.
In other words, they don't do a thing.
I just wish there is somewhere some diagram or picture that shows the layout for the X52 PRO, I would allready be happy with the basic in game profile, because it's more than likely that I will adjust some functions here myself.

Anyone figure this out as I can't get it to recognize my X56 HOTAS either. Windows sees it, everything updated, Windows configuration works......I don't get it.

Not yet, but I have a feeling that all the keybindings have broken something similar happended in Star Citizen around the same time. Maybe latter I'll go see if I just need to rebind everything....
