Product Details
Description:
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 performance joystick, 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 controls to suit flying scenario. Saitek's programming software means the Aviator offers up to 8 separate commands which can each be programmed separately.

Strengths: Very versatile, lots of toggles and easy of use.
Weakness: No mounting hardware or suction cups.
This flight stick works exceptionally well for any wwII combat flight sim. IL-2 Sturmovick is point and case. The two-way toggles let you select many different controls and the trigger protector keeps those valuable cannon rounds safely stored for intended use. Dual sync-able throttles lets the P-38 or any twin engine aircraft become easily managed. Great entry level flight stick.

I bought this joystick at best buy for 40 bucks and so far it's been worth every penny. It was confusing to set up and when i finally got it up and running my plane would alway's crash. I play Battlefeild 1942 on it. Finally after playing an hour i got used to it. Although my kills havent increased i hope they will. If i were u i would buy it at a store rather than online. That way if it breaks...
