Saitek's programming software means the Aviator offers up to 8 separate commands which can each be programmed separately.
The Saitek Aviator represents a new direction in joystick design. The groundbreaking dual throttles and a wealth of programmable switches and controls make the Aviator the perfect joystick for the latest flight games, designed to offer gamers both the maximum flight sim authenticity and control. No other stick is as well suited to the planes being flown on todays PC Helicopter Flight sims.
