Customer Review: Excellent Joystick
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi,
I would just like to say that this is one of the best joysticks on the market. I love that it can be used by anyone since it is made for both left and right handed users. This was the only joystick that I could find that accommodated me since I am left handed. This stick has every feature you could want in a joystick with a very competitive price that does not hurt the wallets of the consumer. The toggle switches and modes for full customization of every button was a terrific idea by Saitek it really comes in handy. I was actually quite surprised that this joystick on cost about $30. I have seen others that cost anywhere from $50 all the way up to $300. I could not see spending $300 on a joystick that would only be used for flight simulation especially when this joystick does everything that the more expensive ones can for an amazing price. Now I am a flight simulation enthusiast and have researched online about home simulation and how to build a cockpit. Its not cheap. If you really wanted to you could easily spend thousands of dollars. This joystick comes close to the real thing it has a realistic feel to it. Now Flight yokes seem nice but they are expensive since I was a previous owner of one. In reality most of the time you have one hand on the yoke and the other working the throttles, mixture, props, instruments, radios and other nav aids. So technically its just like using a joystick and in the end it will save you a lot of money. The only other thing I would consider buying would be Saitek rudder pedals. If you are really serious take my advise since I have actually flown real airplanes before. There is nothing like the real thing so invest your money in that instead. In conclusion if you have doubts about buying this product stop delaying and just buy it you will not be disappointed.
Description of Saitek Aviator Dual Throttle Joystick ( PS33 )
Saitek launches the Aviator ? the first dual throttle joystick for modern flight simulation games. The Aviator is designed with everything you?d expect from a high performancejoystick, including a rugged, military-style design, rapid response trigger, 8-way hat switch, plus illuminated rocket or missile fire button with safety cover. And a first in joystick design, the Saitek Aviator features dual throttle levers. These enable independent control of multiple engines when flying a large bomber or modern passenger jet, or an engine/flaps combination for better control during take-off and landing. The dual throttles can also be locked together for simplicity when flying single-engined aircraft. Additional controls include 3D twist for precise rudder control whether taxiing or in the air,front-mounted instrument panel which includes base-mounted toggle buttons with up and down switching functions, and mode selector to instantly change the Aviator?s controlsto suit flying scenario. Saitek?s programming software means the Aviator offers up to 8 separate commands which can each be programmed separately. The Saitek Aviator represents a new direction in joystick design. The groundbreaking dual throttles and a wealth of programmable switches and controls make the Aviator the perfect joystick for the latest flight games, designed to offer gamers both the maximum flight sim authenticity and control. No other stick is as well suited to the planes being flown on today?s PC Flight sims.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
