Saitek Ships New Pro Flight Yoke System, Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant
LOS ANGELES -- Sep. 19, 2007 Saitek Industries is pleased to announce that the company is now shipping its Pro Flight Yoke System and Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant--the newest additions to the company's high-end flight simulation controller line of products. Saitek's line of Pro Flight game controllers were specially designed for "players" of high-end flight simulation software such as Microsoft FSX. Based on actual aircraft controls, and featuring a host of programmable buttons and controls, all of the controllers in the Saitek's Pro Flight line of products were designed to increase the realism of the flight sim flying experience.
The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke features durable stainless steel shaft with precision bearings to give smooth and predictable elevator and aileron control, while integrated chronograph and separate throttle quadrant ensure a smooth, accurate and totally realistic flying experience. The Yoke also has an integrated USB hub so that Multiple Saitek Pro Flight units such as additional Pro Flight Throttle Quadrants or Rudder Pedals (both sold separately) can be linked together.
The Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant features three axis levers and three two-way rocker switches to add even more options for flight simulation control. Additional quadrant lever heads can be used to create the preferred configuration of throttle, flaps, mixture and prop pitch to suit the type of aircraft being flown.
The unique, desk clamp fixing system keeps yoke and throttle quadrant securely fixed no matter how extreme the flying conditions. The quadrant can be mounted either on top or in front of the desk, pilot or co-pilot side so that the controls are always close to hand.
The new yoke and throttle quadrant join the existing flagship Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System throttle and stick, and Pro Flight Rudder pedals in the Pro Flight range. The Saitek Pro Flight Series includes the X52 Pro, priced at $199.95, the Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, priced at $129.95 in addition to the new Pro Flight Yoke and Pro Flight Throttle.
