• 8-way point of view hat switch

• ST Programming Software (ST) allows gamers to congure their controls to suit their preferred gaming style, and to save the congurations as personal proles. INSTALLING THE FLIGHT YOKE AND THROTTLE QUADRANT First, x the Flight Yoke to your table or desk by inserting the prongs of the mounting clamp into the holes on the yoke base and then tightening the screw mechanism until the yoke is rmly attached (be careful not to overtighten the screw as you may damage the clamp). Next, screw the mounting plate to the Throttle Quadrant using the four screws provided. You can screw the plate to one of two sides of the quadrant depending on how you want to mount the quadrant - either in front and below your table or on top of it. Please note that whichever way you choose to mount the quadrant, ensure that as you look at the unit the rocker switches are at the bottom. Now tighten the throttle unit clamp’s screw mechanism until it is rmly attached to your table. You can also position the Throttle Quadrant on the left or right side of the Flight Yoke. Now, connect the Throttle Quadrant to the Flight Yoke with the PS/2 connector provided. Your Throttle Quadrant comes supplied with additional lever knobs to congure any combination of throttle, aps,7 ENGLISH mixture or prop pitch and you can also buy additional quadrants to link together for more complex multi-engined aeroplane congurations. Use the integrated USB Hub on the side of the Pro Flight Yoke to easily connect other parts of the Saitek Pro Flight range of products, such as additional Pro Flight ThrottleQuadrants, Pro Flight Rudder Pedals or other peripherals.
