ASA's electronic flight computer takes advantage of advances in display and microcomputer technologies for better performance and price. A menu of 34 functions gives users access to 40 aviation calculations, including weight and balance, with these features:

May be used for FAA and Canadian Exams
The CX-2 complies with Advisory Circular (AC) 60-11, Test Aids and Materials that May be Used by Airman Knowledge Testing Applicants. Users may bring the CX-2 with them to the testing centers for all pilot, mechanic, dispatcher, and FAA exams.

Numerous Aviation Functions
Aviators can calculate true airspeed, ground speed, mach number, altitudes, fuel, headings and courses, time/speed/distance, winds, headwind/crosswind components, gliding information, and weight and balance. Users can change variables and recompute without re-entering the whole problem.

Unit Conversions
The CX-2 has 16 unit conversions, including reciprocal conversions for nautical and statute miles, nautical miles and kilometers, feet and meters, pounds and kilograms, gallons and liters, time in H:M:S and decimal formats, Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures, and millibars and inches of mercury.

Timers and Clocks
The CX-2 has two timers: a stopwatch that counts up, and a count down timer. The internal clock displays both local and UTC time and will keep time with the calculator turned off.

Interactive Functions
Functions can be used together in "chain" calculations, where the answer to a preceding problem is automatically entered into subsequent problems. Standard mathematical calculations and conversions can be performed within each aviation function. The CX-2 uses four AAA batteries (included).


Features:
  • 5 year warranty
  • Large, easy-to-read LCD screen display
  • Simple keyboard and slim design
  • Hard-plastic carrying case

Saitek X52 Flight Control System

Filed Under (Saitek) by admin on 07-07-2010

Tagged Under : , , ,


Bear with me for a second... I need to prove a point to you.

---
I spent the evening with my x52 last night, mostly custom tailoring my new joystick to LucasArts' classic space fighter sim, TIE Fighter.

Saitek's software enabled me to configure the three-state mode switch to control preset power levels by way of "advanced commands" that allowed me to issue a string of commands when the state switches in and out. Now, I have 3 configurations at the flick of a switch.

The toggle switches on the base of the joystick function as memory addresses for ships I want to hop to quickly. Flick up to save a target, flick down to recall it.

I also have shields set on a "precision slider" that lets me flick my shields to where I need the coverage in a split second. Setting up an attack run? Shields full forward. Intercepted by fighter cover? Shields to cover my rear while I finish off my salvo.

On top of that, the pinkie trigger controls my engine booster system in a hold fashion, despite the game's design to use that feature as a toggle. But I also get the chance to use this system in a way never intended by the game designers: boosters feed off power from the laser banks, so in my commands, my boosters automatically set a higher recharge setting in my blasters to prolong speed booster at the expense of a little speed. I'm contemplating adding commands to dump energy from shields and tractor beams into laser banks to ensure I always have booster power available if I have the energy anywhere.

My next addition is to rig the two-stage trigger to switch into linked fire mode when fully pulled, again in a hold fashion rather than a toggle fashion.

---

So... why the major geek-out about how I set up my particular non-flight-sim game? The point is that this stick does its job very well, so well that the majority of my time so far is actually spent configuring the vast suite of control options Saitek has made available. All the complex commands that I would issue if I had ten hands and three brains are now at my fingertips. I feel like I opened up my starfighter and tweaked it to be uniquely mine. Once I finish configuring, I will have no reason to touch the keyboard, perhaps one of the highest compliments one can give a flight control system.

Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with Three-Lever Throttle (PZ44)

Filed Under (Saitek) by admin on 16-11-2009

Tagged Under : , , , ,


I initially had difficulty working with the Saitek yoke, but now feel that I have got pretty good control of it. However it still tends to be sticky, wich has a little negative effect on my aircraft control. The plus side is I love the clock insert, the solidness of the assembly and realism. I also really like the setup of the throttle quadrant and it works quite well, again, very realistic. Overall, I am bery happy with the complete setup and glad I purchased these items. Got them all for a great price from Amazon.

Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals


I had read reviews on these products so I expected exactly what I got. They are excellent products and the complaints I had read about were valid but can't imagine how they can be remedied. The fact thaat the pedals slide on the floor is somewhat remedied by the velcro strips if you have rugs but if you don't, I guess you could put something on the floor first that the pedals can lock onto.
The yoke can't be used as described since my keyboard is there so without using the encolsed locking attachments, I have the yoke and quadrant attached to a rectangular piece of wood along with the quadrant and then I can clamp it onto my desk. It works fine and solid and quick to set up.
Nice products. I had CH products before and like Saitek much better.
I don't know why more isn't explained for some of the features of the quadrant and yoke buttons. We're left in the dark experimenting and not getting anywhere.
I liked the help I got from the technicians when I phoned about some set-up problem. They were kind and understanding.

Customer Reviews


very good.
Packaging was very good. The product was secure and well protected when it arrived.
The installation was very straight forward. I use windows 7 and at presernt Fsx.
So far, no complaints...very smooth and the sensitivity is almost on par to the real thing.


Great rudder pedals
These Saitek pedals are very realistic and I find them to work quite well with my flight training on Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Good contruction and very controllable. Better than another brand I had.


Saitec flight pedals
Well made, plug and play. Makes "Flight Simulator" much more realistic. The only problem I have come across is a software conflict that causes brake to over ride all other controls. Construction of pedals is very good and well made. I'm using them on a wood floor and they stay in place during operation, not sliding around.
