Saitek has finally launched a heavyweight product in flight simulation equipment, a complete cockpit hardware solution.

This product includes:

10 instrument panel units, each featuring a 3.5-inch LCD screen that can display the following data in real-time: Airspeed Indicator Attitude Indicator Altimeter Turn/Slip Indicator Horizontal Situation Indicator Vertical Speed Indicator PFD: Primary Flight Display VOR 1 VOR 2 Engine Gauges

1 Civil Aviation Flight Yoke (Saitek Pro Flight Yoke) 1 Throttle Quadrant (Saitek Three Lever Pro Throttle Quadrant) 1 Rudder Pedals (Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedal) 1 Trim Wheel (Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel) 2 Radio Panels (Saitek Pro Flight Radio Panel) 1 Switch Panel 1 Standalone Throttle Quadrant 1 Autopilot Panel

The devices listed above are existing products available on the market. Therefore, the cockpit instrument frame, shown below, becomes the biggest selling point of this product. It can accommodate all the instruments mentioned above, is constructed from 5mm thick aluminum plates, and weighs 8.2 kg. Additionally, the rear of the frame features USB connectors and can function as a monitor stand.

This thing is just too tempting. I genuinely recommend that every flight sim enthusiast buy one if they have the budget. However, with a price tag of $5,000… I can’t afford it…
