Full information on the new range of Saitek Pro Flight products is as follows:

Fully compatible with all major flight simulation titles, the Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals add comfort and realism to any pre-existing flight simulation set up.

Independent left and right brake axis allows for greater accuracy and precision when performing braking maneuvers. Self-centering rudder axis works in conjunction with a user configurable dampening adjuster, allowing users to define levels of pressure required to operate rudder controls. 3-way adjustable pedal angle allows for a bespoke flying experience, while optional foot plate provides extra comfort during flight. Powerful Saitek ST software allows users to fully configure their Rudder Pedals with software of their choice. The Rudder Pedals are ideal for use with the Saitek X65-F and X52 H.O.T.A.S. Pro Flight Systems and are compatible with Windows ^TM 7, Vista ^TM , XP ^TM and XP64 ^TM .

MSRP: $199.99 / £179.99 / €199.99

Fully compatible with all major flight simulation titles and pre-existing flight simulation set ups, the Saitek Pro Flight Throttle, Pitch and Mixture System replicates the control surface found in light aircraft, such as the Cessna ^® , Piper ^® and Money Bravo ^® . Three durable aluminium rods allow users to accurately alter throttle, pitch and fuel mixture levels and an additional 9 fully programmable toggle switches provide a host of user defined controls during flight. Complete with mounting clamps which allow users to secure to a desk or flat surface, the Throttle, Pitch and Mixture System is compatible with Windows ^TM 7, Vista ^TM , XP ^TM and XP64 ^TM .

In addition, users can assign a choice of three colors to each or the 24 segments, allowing different command tiles to light up with different colors during flight. Command tiles not illuminated remain invisible to the naked eye, allowing aspiring flight-sim pilots to accurately access the information they need, when they need it. Standard Pro Flight mounting brackets are supplied, ensuring full compatibility with other ‘Panel’ products in the Saitek Pro Flight range. Complete with powerful Saitek ST software, allowing users to fully configure their Backlit Information Panel. Compatible with Windows ^TM 7, Vista ^TM , XP ^TM and XP64 ^TM .
