The Saitek Pro Flight X-65F Control System.  Custom engineered from high grade metal castings, this is a system that is built to withstand many combat engagements.  The number of controls available will cater for any pilot’s needs, but the true innovation resides within the stick itself – Force Sensing technology.

What is Force Sensing?

In a world first for a manufactured simulation controller, the X-65F’s stick does not move; instead, like those found in real modern fighter jets, it responds to pressure that you exert on the handle, resulting in a fast, accurate and realistic response that will make you the ace in your squadron.  With no moving parts and a shaft that is made from high grade steel, this provides incredible reliability and longevity.
