Logitech has just recently released a new type of controller for games such as Flight Simulator X and similar. As you can see fro our images, the G940 is designed to put the player in the flight cockpit as realistically possible. After all, these controls were “inspired by commercial and military aircraft” and include a joystick, dual throttle, and rudder pedals.
The joystick has a two stage metal trigger, along with six programmable buttons. It also features Forcefeedback through the stick, a first for Logitech. As for the dual-throttle, it has a “split design for multiple engine aircraft with push button interlocks”. With these two controllers working together, the user has the option of up to 250 possible programmable button combinations. All the controls plug into one another meaning you only have one USB plug .
This means no more shifting from the mouse to the keyboard to get your plane to do what you want it to do. Of course, that does mean a lot of remembering what button combination does what. However, I have learned that Logitech intends for pre-designed labels to slip inside buttons. For example, the landing gear button will have a specific place.
So, what have we learned here? A Logitech G940 Flight Controller plus a tri-fold screen SX02 flight simulator equals one realistic flight gaming experience. If this is something that you want, you will have to wait until October to purchase the G940 in Australia.
Our SX02 Flight version simulator has pre drilled mountings to suit these controls. Contact us for a package deal and be first in on the latest technologies that simulation has today.
