Logitech 945-000023 - Flight Control System
Overview :
The Logitech 945-000023 is the Flight Yoke System with an included standalone Throttle Quadrant, engineered for professional aviation simulation training, academic flight research setups, and high-fidelity training cockpits. Procured primarily by civilian pilot training centers, collegiate aerospace laboratories, and system integrators outfitting dedicated simulation booths, it resolves the mechanical inaccuracy, dead-zone drift, and structural wear associated with standard entry-level plastic joysticks.
Technically, the flight yoke is constructed around a durable, precision-ground stainless steel elevator and aileron shaft running on internal anti-friction bearings, ensuring seamless, uniform cross-axis control. The console features an integrated USB hub that acts as a secure data consolidation bus for secondary instruments, alongside an onboard LCD stopwatch for executing timed holding patterns and runway approach vectors. The companion Throttle Quadrant drives three separate axis levers with physical detents to signal gate points such as idle and reverse thrusters, and incorporates detachable, custom-configurable lever knobs to mimic varying propulsion designs.
Deployment strategies focus on multi-panel desktop simulator modules, modular hardware cockpit frames, and specialized engineering training stations. Secure retention hardware is driven by two heavy-duty, adjustable desk clamps to isolate mechanical torque during rapid pitch and roll maneuvers.
The control architecture is natively recognized by enterprise simulation applications including Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and Prepar3D. It interfaces via standard USB 2.0 cabling with native support across Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11 environments. This dual-module installation should not be deployed on standalone tablet interfaces lacking host USB-A endpoints, nor should it be utilized in secure networks that strictly prohibit multi-port unmanaged USB hubs on endpoint client machines.
Key Features :
Ground stainless steel shaft with precision bearings ensures smooth axis control.
Modular Throttle Quadrant features detachable knobs and idle detent gates.
Three-position profile switch expands assignment mapping up to 75 total macros.
Integrated multi-port USB hub simplifies daisy-chaining extra cockpit panels.
High-retention steel desk mounting clamps eliminate shifting under heavy torque.
