| Saitek X52 Flight Control System The Saitek X52 Combo is one of the latest joystick/throttle systems, specifically made for flight simulators.

| Thrustmaster
HOTAS Cougar Flight Control System We use these ourselves when testing our FSAddon Publishing software. The ULTIMATE HOTAS (Hands-on Trhottle and Stick) for flying war sorties on your Falcon 4.0 or other military fighter jet simulator. But also very suited for other sims. (WARNING: less suited for helicopter flying because of the strong resistance of the stick ! ). Click on the picture to see the details of this heavy-weight combo. |

Wingman Force 3D For those pilots who like to have the 'force feedback' feature (i.e. the joystick moves in your hand, depending on what happens to you in a game!), the Logitech Wingman Force 3D is one of the few good sticks left (since Microsoft stoped the production of its version). Great for combat games, not so great for MS Flight Simulator (we think). Not too expensive anymore either, if you can find one! |

Products Flight Sim Yoke (USB) By far the most popular yoke (aircraft steering column) on the market. been around for ages, and is the most cost-effective unit available today. Just clamp it on the table, or on your home cockpit stand, program the switches, and off you go! USB connection. Amazon often has good 'special prices' on these units! Ideal for Microsoft Flight Simulator, all versions !! |
|
| CH Products Pro Rudder Pedals USB A real simpilot can not do without a good set of rudder pedals. Work together with the USB yoke of course, but also go well with any other joystick or hotas system. Very sturdy, for years of use and easily the cheapest in its kind. For a flightsim you can NOT use the pedals that come with a racing game steering wheel..... you need the rudder pedals with toe brakes ! |

Products Throttle Quadrant USB For the SERIOUS civil aircraft flightsimmer, especially those who fly multi-engine aircraft, CH Products has made the Throttle Quadrant. We use this one ourselves, just like the CH Rudder Pedals and Yoke. It features 6 sliders, that can be set up according to your own preferences (for instance for a twin engine aircraft, two throttles, two mixture levers and two prop pitch levers, or for a 4-engine plane you can have 4 throttle levers and assign the remaining two for something else). AND you get 6 toggle switches at the front as well, again, fully programmable to your own preferences. Check it out by clicking on the picture. |
