F.E.E.L. Spring Tension System

Each spring placed on the Rhino stick shaft will give a dierent feeling. You can also operate

thestick without a spring, providing a total of ve dierent forces.

Each spring has a unique feel and dierent identication. These identiers are color swatches

at the top of each spring – Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. This table lists some of the calculations

used for dierentiation:

9 English

Changing or removing a spring

To insert, change, or remove a spring, follow these steps. Ensure the trigger is facing away from

you and that the X56 HOTAS logo plate is facing you.

1. Turn the Locking Bezel (part B) counterclockwise until the Stick comes away from the base.

2. Remove the Seal Ring (part C) by placing the ngers from your left and right hand under

thering on either side, and then lift up. The Seal Ring is sti by design.

3. Pry apart the Locking Clamps (part D). These pull apart from the stick, but are under load

from the spring. Take one half o rst, hold the spring, and then remove the other half.

4. Remove the Spring (part E), then either replace with a new Spring of leave the Spring o.

To reassemble, reverse the order of the above steps, making sure to securely seat the Seal Ring

(Part C) and rmly tighten the Locking Bezel (part D) on the Stick base.

Note: When changing springs, please ensure that the USB cable is disconnected from your PC

and avoid touching the connectors in the stick handle and base.

1. Turn Locking Bezel counterclockwise

4. Pry apart Locking Clamps

2. Remove Stick

5. Remove Spring

3. Remove Seal Ring

Software Overview

The software allows you to program the X56 with an array of keyboard commands, from basic

single-key commands to very advanced, timed, and macro commands. It will also allow you

toprogram any axis with keyboard commands, and program mouse commands.

In the software you can also alter the response curves and deadbands of the main axis –

we’llcover the explanation of these topics later in the manual.

There are two ways to launch the software:

1. From the desktop icon that looks like this 2. From the start menu bar...

Once the software launches, you will be presented with the Home Screen.

If it’s the rst time you’ve run the software, you will be asked to choose your language.

Oncethisis done the main Home Screen will appear. If you’ve made a mistake choosing

yourlanguage or you wish to choose another language, the language menu can be accessed

byclicking on the icon in the bottom-right corner of the Home Screen.

There are three main Tabs within the software:

1. HOME

2. PROGRAMMING

3. SETTINGS

11 English

HOME TAB

On the Home screen you’ll see:

- Live Facebook feed from Logitech G

- Social media and website shortcuts, LogitechG.com, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, etc

- Language selection, use the ag icon in the bottom-right corner to access this

English 12

PROGRAMMING TAB

After selecting the PROGRAMMING Tab you will see the X56’s programming environment.

You will see a high-resolution image of the controller you are going to program on the left side

of the screen. On the right side of the screen you will see a list of command boxes, called “Cells,”

going down the page.

At the top of the image panel you will see Stick and Throttle icons. Clicking on either

ofthesewillchange the current unit you are programming. The unit you are programming

iseasily recognizable by the larger image that lls the window.

In the PROGRAMMING Tab you can mimic your controller to directly copy any of the keyboard

commands used in your favorite games. The commands are then saved in what we call a Prole.

What is a Prole?

A Prole is the name given to a le that has programmed controller commands saved into

it. For example, you may have a Joystick with a number of buttons/hats. If you want one of

theseto do something in-game that you would normally have to use a keyboard shortcut for,

you can “assign” that command to that button. If you want Button ‘A’ to activate the landing

gear (which is the “G” key on a keyboard), you can use the software to assign this function.

Youcan also create more complicated assignments, like “shift+F2,” or even timed commands

and macros.

13 English

Making your rst Prole

1. Either hover the mouse pointer over the Cell, or press the button you want to create a Prole

for on the controller. If you hover your mouse over the Button ‘A’ Cell, Button ‘A’ will light up

on the 3D Joystick image. Or just click Button ‘A’ on the stick and the correct Cell will light up.

2. When the correct Cell is lit, left-click in it

and a large ashing cursor will appear in

theleft side of the Cell. You will also see

agreen tick, a red cross, and a mouse icon

onthe right side of the Cell.

3. The Cell is now waiting for the keyboard

command. Using your keyboard, press the

button on the keyboard you would like

Button‘A’ on the stick to activate. For this

example we will use the ‘G’ key, which usually

activates landing gear. When you press ‘G’ on

the keyboard, alarge white tile with the letter

‘G’ should appear in the Cell, as shown here.

If this is the correct keyboard command, press

the green tick icon on therightside. If not,

press the red cross and redo the procedure

to get the keyboard command into the Cell

again.

4. After pressing the green tick icon,

thecommand name box will appear,

labeledas“Untitled” (left image, below).

Simply choose a name for the command

and type the name into this box. For this

example, we chose “Landing gear.” Press the

enter key to complete the Cell. Button ‘A’

= Landing gear, which is your keyboard’s ‘G’

key (right image, below).

English 14

5. Test your Prole by opening the “Testing”

window. Above the 3D image there are

seven icons. The one that is second from

theright, which looks like a silver cog, is

labeled “TestProle.”

Click on this icon and a new window will

open. A cursor will already be ashing

inthetest area. Simply press Button ‘A’

onthe X56. When this is pressed, letter ‘G’

will appear in the window, which proves

yourrst programmed button is working.

Close this window by clicking on the “OK”

icon in the bottom-right corner of the

Testing window.

6. You can add other keyboard commands if you wish and then test them. Just remember

tosave your work before you shut down the software.

7. To make the programming you have just created work

in your game, you must rst save it as a Prole and then

activate it. This can be done with one click. In the icon row

just above the 3D image, you will see an icon that looks like

a blue target. If you hover over this icon a tool tip labeled

“Prole” will appear.

Click this icon and a standard Windows save box will appear.

Give your Prole a name and save it. After saving, the Prole

will become active and you can shut down the software

and play your game. The X56 will now respond as you have

programmed it.

8. The software is capable of many other powerful programming features that we have not

yetcovered. For example, you can program axes, mouse movement and mouse buttons,

hats, and special timed or complicated commands.

Icons in the Prole Editor

1. New Prole

Opens a blank Prole for you to edit/build.

2. Open Prole

Opens a previously created Prole for editing.

3. Save Prole

Clicking “Save” will save a new Prole or overwrite a current Prole.

Using the drop-down arrow next to “Save,” you can “Save as,” allowing you to save

thecurrent Prole to a dierent location or as a dierent name.

4. Views

You can change the view in the Prole Editor to be just programming Cells (i.e., no image).

Clicking the “Views” button again will restore the default view and the image will reappear.

5. Prole

If you are working on a Prole to use immediately, so you can get ying straight away, click here.

6. Test Prole

Clicking this icon will bring up the test window. This is especially useful if you are attempting

to program advanced timed or macro commands as it gives you a place to test your work

before you y.

7. Print

By pressing this icon, the Prole that you are currently building will be sent to the default

printer on your system.

English 16

Settings

The settings page will allow you to alter the deadzone and response curves of all axes on both

the Stick and the Throttle.

Response Curves

Depending on the type of aircraft that you y, you may want your joystick to be more or less

sensitive around the middle or end points of the axes. For example, if you’re ying an F/18

onarefueling mission at 25,000 feet, you will be making very ne movements to get into

thecorrect position. Having a shallower response curve around the center point of the joystick’s

X and Y axes will enable you to make very ne adjustment to your aircraft.

Deadbands

A deadband, sometimes known as a deadzone or neutral zone, is a part of the range in which

an axis moves, undetected by the drivers and without eect on in-game progress. It may be

around the center point of the axis range, or at either end of the axis range.

Axis Range Adjustment

The axis range adjustment, or axis saturation to assign its correct name, allows you to shrink

theraw data range of an axis.

Physical Axis Adjustment

The physical axis adjustment, or physical saturation, allows you to shrink the full axis data range

into a small physical stick movement.

S-Curves and J-Curves

There are two types of adjustable curves – S-Curves and J-Curves. J-Curves are linear axes,

likethrottles and rotaries. S-Curves are non-linear, like X and Y axes.

The rst screen

you’llsee is the ‘SELECT

DEVICE TO MODIFY’

screen.

You have two choices;

choose to alter either

the Stick or the Throttle

axis.

17 English

Once you are in the ‘STICK // AXIS MODIFICATION’ screen, you’ll see a raft

ofoptions. We’ll go through them one by one.

1. Name of the Part being Modied

This will either be the Stick or the Throttle unit for the X-56. If you wish to change the part

thatyou’re not currently on, use the back button (5) to go back to the selection screen.

2. Modiable Axes

This shows a list of all modiable axes. The Stick has three modiable axes:

- X Axis

- Y Axis

- Rudder Axis

The Throttle unit has six modiable axes:

- Left Throttle

- Right Throttle

- Rotary 1

- Rotary 2

- Rotary 3

- Rotary 4

3. Manual Axis Adjustment and Test Area

This area will show you how the current response curves / dead zones / saturation points are

setup on the selected axis. You can also adjust the center deadzone, the range saturation,

physical saturation, and the response curve on the selected axis. There is also a cross-hair

whichwill show the physical position of the axis you are manipulating.

4. Spring Values

This is a reference section when you are adjusting the axes on the Stick. It will act as a guide

for axis modication, and you may choose diering axis curves or deadzones depending on

theSpring you have tted to the Stick. If you are modifying the Throttle unit’s axes you will

notsee this reference section.

5. Back Button

Takes you to the device selection screen.

6. Physical Axis Adjustment Slider

Allows the ends of the axes, the far left and far right on the X Axis or full up and full down on

theY Axis, to be moved inwards towards the center point. It is similar to setting up a deadzone

at the far ends of your axis.

19 English

7. Manual Axis Attribute Boxes

This area allows you to input raw data to setup your deadband, curvature, range saturation,

and physical saturation settings. This is very useful if you already have the data or a third-party

source is supplying the data. For example, a forum post on how to setup the response curve for

an F/A-18F.

8. Deadzone Adjustment

The deadzone slider will allow you to adjust the deadzone around the center point of the axis

you currently have selected.

9. Axis Curvature Adjustment Slider

Shrinks the range of an axis. Instead of going from 0 to 65555, for example,

we can shrink it to 300 to 62555.

10. Pre-made Proles

We have included a set a predened curves to select. This is to make it easier for those who

donot wish to make their own curves. There are two dierent types of curves to choose from:

1. J-Curves – these curves will give you a single point of manipulation and are ideal for throttles

and rotaries.

2. S-Curves – these curves will give you two points of manipulation and are ideal for setting

up X and Y axes.

11. Apply Button

This button will save the curve that you are manipulating on the selected axis. Once saved,

this axis will perform as saved, for all games, until the axis is adjusted and resaved or the reset

button is used.

12. Undo Button

This button will turn the response curves on your currently selected axis back to their default state.

This can be very useful when experimenting with curves and deadbands.

Altering Axis Attributes

Axis Status Notications

You’ll need to be aware of several notications in the axis highlighter box when manipulating

and applying axis data. On the left is a list of the current device’s axes. The colors indicate

thestatus of each axis.

Light Blue in the larger box indicates the currently selected axis.

Green in the smaller box indicates that the data on the settings page

and the data on the device are in sync for this axis.

Yellow in the smaller box indicates that the data for this axis has been

modied on the settings page but has not yet been synced to the device.

To sync data, click ‘Apply’ in the bottom right. The entire box will turn

Yellow then start to ll up Green to indicate that the data on the settings

page is being synced to the device. Once data is fully synced, the larger

box will revert to Light Blue and the smaller box will stay Green.

When the Axis box turns Green, the data from the settings page

saves to the physical device. The main Axis box will then turn Blue and

theslash will turn to Green.

Setting a Deadzone

To set a deadzone on an axis, whether it’s an S-Curve or a J-Curve, simply move the deadzone

slider (part 8). You will see the axis start to split from the middle in the manual adjust area.

Thedeadzone will become larger as the slider moves farther.

Setting a Response Curve

To set a response curve on an axis, whether it’s an S-Curve or a J-Curve, simply move

thecurvature slider. On an S-Curve setting you will see the curve turn snake-like, which indicates

curvature above and below the center point the axis.

On a J-Curve setting you will see the whole axis curve as the slider moves. You can also change

the curvature of either curve by moving the points in the manual adjustment area (part 4).

Ifyou move the points in the area, 2 for an S-Curve and 1 for a J-Curve, then the curve will

adjust to the new points.

Setting an Axis Range

To set an axis range, simply move the Axis Range Adjustment Slider (part 5). This will shrink

thedata for that axis from the full negative side and from the full positive side. Now when

youuse the axis that you have just altered, the axis data output will only output up to the points

that you have set in the settings.
