Give yourself complete control of your plane with Saitek’s X52 flight control system. And when we say complete control we mean it. The Saitek Smart Technology software lets you raise the total number of programmable commands form 47 to 282 with use of the mode switch and pinkie shift switch. The X52 uses non contact magnetic hall technology for increased stick accuracy. The stick can twist to control the rudder. The two stage trigger gives you two primary buttons in one. The 5 position handle adjustment makes the stick comfortable for all hand sizes. The progressive throttle control has detents for afterburner and idles, increasing the realism of the game. The MFD screen is now interactive and can display important game information directly. Multiple buttons and hat switches let you have extra functions immediately available. Whether you’re flying low under the radar or high to avoid SAMs this controller provides maximum control to ensure a successful mission.
