Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with Three-Lever Throttle (PZ44)
Customer Review: Great product for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
With multiple different mounting options for yoke and throttle quadrant it gives this product plenty of versatility to almost any kind of desk. It works superb and after about a month of owning it I still have not had any problems with it.
Only thing I would recommend is a more user friendly interface for the program they use to change button and key assignments on the yoke and throttle. I fly flight Sim X primarily and am also a IFR pilot. I have found it is easier to change the button assignments inside the FSX program than it is to use the saitek proprietary software. Other than that it is a great product with plenty of options to add onto it in the future for a more realistic experience. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good FSX experience.
Customer Review: Better than I hoped
Summary: 5 Stars
This Yoke/Throttle assembly combo is a great product. I was a little concerned reading some of the reviews about ghost buttons. Whatever that was must be fixed by now. I did follow the advice someone posted about only using the disc to install the drivers, but not the additional software. The calibration utility within Windows works great for it. (under game controllers in Control Panel I think).
I like that the tops come off the throttle levers. I can later add the Saitek Three Lever Pro Throttle Quadrant (PZ45) then change the tops around to whatever configuration I want. Should come in handy for multi-engine aircraft.
Customer Review: Awesome with the exception of Madcatz support!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once I got the yoke assembly in, I plugged it in immediately and used it in FSX. The next day it would not work because i had received a lemon that broke after 15 minutes of use. I called MADCATZ and they immediately figured out I needed to send it in for repair. I got madd because I just purchased a $120 dollar device and now I couldn't use it. It took 4 weeks to finally get it back and it has been working like a champ the past couple weeks. Support was ok but I had to keep e-mailing them to get any feedback on the status of repairs. Finally, I had to tell them I wanted a new one or else. They quickly and promptly sent me a new yoke and quadrant. Now that I have it back, I love it.Customer Review: Great yoke and more!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the yoke and 3 lever throttle, the rudder pedals and 3 of the saitek Flight instrument panels and the Pro Flight Switch Panel. They work GREAT!
They are HIGHLY recommended.
I only have 2 complaints..sometimes all the panels don't get started at the same time (probably due to the USB power requirement) so I have to unplug them and replug them...but it's usually just 1 of the 6 devices.....mostly the yoke itself.
The other complaint is that there is no HSI option on the flight instrument panel...maybe in a driver upgrade.
These change the usablity of FSX from tedious to truly enjoyable!
Customer Review: Good controller
Summary: 5 Stars
With ease of use, and multiple functions, even without additional software it provides numerous controls, it's built in hub is a nice expansion, though it has a power supply slot for the hub, the controls I've plugged in haven't needed any extra power. That it has that power supply slot with no power supply cable might be of concern for those who have high power demand USB devices. But for basic controllers it works fine without.
The additional software and programming is a seperate issue, I'm too lazy to cope with. But it looks well done, and with the slector switch. you basically triple the number of commands available.
