UPDATE: A suggested FSX profile for the X-55 Rhino has been added to the Profiles V3 package. Further details for creating Rhino profiles for other games are below. Please note that the function of the profiles is not to make the controller work in the game (as that is accomplished by using the game's own control configuration screens). For example, you can always have button X do the same thing in all your games and set that up in the x52 software. Then, anytime you have a new game, you can quickly look at existing profile, and copy that info to do the same thing for button X. Also helps for if you have to reformat/reinstall things.

Follow these steps to view our suggested profile assignments, make modifications, and add new assignments.

1. Unzip and deposit the profiles into your Saitek profile folder.
   • On XP, this is located in C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsSmartTechnology Profiles.
   • On Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 it's in C:UsersPublicDocumentsSmartTechnology Profiles.
   Note 1: The drivers have updated to now look at the SmartTechnology Folder and not the SD6 Folder, so you can copy the profiles over to the correct folder and they will work fine.
   Note 2: For Rhino owners the Saitek profile folder is located at C:UsersPublicDocumentsMad CatzX-55 Rhino.
2. Open your profile editor, and then use the 'open' function to view a profile.
3. To assign a function to a button, right click a button cell in the editor. The menu will show all the commands saved to the profile document. Left click the command name and it will be assigned to that button.
4. Repeat this process for any other commands you want to add.
5. Once you are happy with your setup, click the Save As button and give your new profile a name. You can save over the existing one if you want, but it may be best to keep this one unchanged as a template for new profiles.
6. You can then activate the profile by clicking the profile button (blue target reticule) in the editor window. Alternatively, once saved, the profile will appear in your Saitek icon menu located in the system tray. Left click on the profile name to activate, and click clear profile to deactivate the profile.
   For X-55 Rhino owners, right click on the Rhino icon in the system tray to quick select or clear a profile.
