Pros & Cons

You won't actually soar among the eagles, but you may get a similar sensation when you use the two-piece Saitek X52 Digital Flight Control System. Much more than a mere gamepad, this slightly ungainly device has a fully functional throttle, a control stick that includes four firing buttons, a two-stage metal trigger, an eight-way hat switch to toggle your view, and a 3D rubber twist to simulate the pedals in a real plane. The only thing missing is the smell of airplane fuel as you head to your next dogfight. For PC.
