Elite Dangerous PS4 - using Saitek HOTAS x52

Published 2017-06-27
I managed to configure my HOTAS x52 with PS4.
The bad news is that this controller is not (yet) compatible with PS4, but the good news is that by using a small adaptor caller Cronusmax PLUS, I managed to configure.

I am not 100% satisfied yet... some controls can be improved, for example Head movement needs some setup, but the important part all works!

I am not going to explain all steps on how to configure a Cronusmax, but I will leave a link to my X-AIM (a cronusmax plugin) profile, and also some screenshots.

- You need to use this profile in x-aim, but you will also have to change some control mapping in elite in ps4, the ones listed in the screenshot....

    Good job! I have x52 pro and Cronusmax PLUS. It will come in handy! Yesterday I could not adjust.

  • Hi John Ibarzabal , considering the age of this video any chance ps4 got more patch or update so the X52 works on ps4 directly? also did you buy the Ace Combat 7 and managed to get the x52 working??

    dude, sorry for such a noob question, but I am brand new to this cronus max thing, how do I get your profile from the pc to this device to use it? I tried opening it up and I can find it in xaim but I cant seem to install or transfer it to the cronus. and amazingly there is no tutorial video on how to use xaim with cronus and a flight stick? any help would be appreciated

    I have an x52 pro and ed on pc. I also have a ps4 and the thrust master hotas. The thrustmaster is a lot less accurate then the x52pro. Should I get the cronosmax or this to run the x52pro on ps4 to increase accuracy?
  • to be honest mate to get your head movement...myou need to go vr...if only I had a grand lol
