|  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-engine
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. 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. Whether
you've got a Focke Wolfe in your sights, or are landing a Bush plane on an
Alaskan lake, you'll appreciate the classic rugged design of the Aviator. From
its twin interlocking throttles to the comfortable stick, every detail makes you
a better pilot. Features
include joystick with dual throttles and rudder twist, Trigger, covered rocket
launcher, two fire buttons, 8-way POV hat, four base toggles(eight commands),
and two-position mode switch for up to 40 programmable commands using Saitek
Smart Technology (SST) software. |
