Date - 1-7-2010 Pilot Rating - Private Overall Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Realistic feel that real-world pilots will appreciate! ConsRudder pedal usb cord could be longer. But extension would probably work. Also be careful when plugging/unplugging the throttle quadrant connector, it's a round plug like on a keyboard. Pins can be bent if not careful. General CommentsWorth every penny. Take your time and go through all button assignments to set it up like the real thing. Takes some time, but worth it. Saitek's the only way to go! |

Date - 12-29-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability  Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Product was plug and play on my Windows Vista machine with FSX. Huge difference in overall experience compared with my previous joystick. With rudder tension turned all the way up, a physical throttle quadrant, programmable switches on the yoke, spring loaded resistance for the elevator, this unit is VERY realistic. These controls make FSX a real tool for learning to fly and practicing what you already know. ConsExpensive for a game, cheap for flight training. The yoke does not always slide smoothly in certain control positions, tending to bind very very very slightly, but this actually mimics the feeling of real controls. General CommentsIf you are on the fence over the price go ahead and buy it, you will be glad you did. Got is as a Christmas Gift and I now know if I would have bought this unit sooner I would have saved flight school training money. |
Date - 10-14-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | strong construction Consvery hard to set up. instructions are terrible. web site not helpful. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 9-30-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Nice feel, professional look. Ample buttons. Adds a ton to the flight simming experience. ConsCould be just a little bit more rugged. The pedals are kinda loud when moving the rudder. I can hear the spring noise even with a headset on. General CommentsI also bought a Saitek keyboard, headset and I have the radio panel on the way. I'm very happy with the quality of the product, for the price. Wish they were a little more rugged, but since that would increase the cost I'm fine with the compromise they came up with. |
Date - 8-13-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great product for Flight Training on the days you can't fly. You have to program the toe brake, prop pitch, and mixture to work. But thats really easy (read what to do on the Saitek website) General CommentsVery good for Flight training. |
Date - 7-7-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very realistic, easy setup and configuration. I can't fly anymore for health reasons so using the yoke and rudder pedals with flight sim is the next best thing to really flying. ConsRudder pedals slide on the floor. I made a platform to anchor to that butts up against the wall. General CommentsVery good product and worth the price... |

Date - 5-21-2009 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Just about everything was at or better than expected. The yoke and rudders come very close to athentic feel due to the ability of being able to adjust tension. ConsWas a little difficult getting yoke and throttle quadrant to sit level and steady on desk, but after awhile was able to get it level. General CommentsGreat buy. Has good authentic feel and feed back. Controls are accurate but not too sensitive. |
Date - 4-10-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The set-up instructions were easy and descriptive. The rudder pedal directions need to be followed to the letter to avoid the brakes always on error. I am running FS2004 and XP Pro so the specific FS2004 instructions in the rudder pedal manual (after a couple reads) fixed the brake always on issue I was initially having. ConsNone yet.

Date - 2-10-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Seems to work well with MS Flight Sim 2004. The controls work ok except for the mixture control. It checks out ok with the diagnostics on the computer, but I can't seem to get it to work on the program. The throttle control works instantly, but I suspect either something in the program is not set right. ( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments I think the Saitek products are the best on the current market |
Date - 1-27-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsResponse time of yoke is very poor. Graphics are poor.....hard to see GPS and its functions along with hard to see navatigation controls on instruments. General CommentsI would not recommend buying to anyone......300 dollars poorly spent!!!!!!! |
Date - 1-24-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to use and program ConsWish the Throttle Quadrant was a bit more advanced. General CommentsA great value for what you need to use Flight Simulator. |
Date - 10-23-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Conshaving trouble setting up throttle in software. information provided with product does not provide comprehensive instruction for set up. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
| Nice system. I like the look and feel of the components. Overall it was fairly straight forward installing the components to the computer. Just make sure you have the throttle quadrant connected to the yoke prior to hooking to the computer system. Makes install a lot easier. ConsNone so far. I've had the yoke and pedals for approx. three to four weeks and have worked well. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 10-14-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | easy to set up and use works smoothly no complaints Consrudder pedals need some better way to secure on the ground they move while you are using the but the action seems great General CommentsI feel it has helped me greatly in my quest to teach my self to fly I am not a gamer and I don't know a lot about computers this set up worked great and I can finally start practicing keeping the ball in the middle |
