INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     I can't really recall how long it has been since i had the chance to play a realistic flight simulator. Back in the old days we had quite a large number to choose from (ATF, F-15, Israeli Air Force, Falcon 4.0 and many more) but now it seems that we only have a few titles to choose from including LockOn, Black Shark and a Il2 Sturmovik. In any case all of us who do play these few Flight Simulator Games are in need of a good flight stick and this is where Saitek comes in with their new X-65F Flight Combat Control System.

      Saitek is without doubt the only company in the field that continues in expanding their Flight Simulator oriented peripherals whereas others have stopped for many years now and although up until a few years ago Saitek was considered to be second best only to CH, mostly because their products targeted the mainstream Flight Simulator enthusiast and not the high end demanding ones, with the arrival of the X52 Flight Controller almost 2 years ago Saitek changed that and as you will see later on with the new X65F Saitek is in a way securing first place for a long time to come.
