Really gives a new dimension to the office simulation. Contrary to some comments he has a command "reverse thrust" as a button that can be pressed by the handle when pulled down ... just program this button in the settings of simulation to match rapid reduction of gas .. Regarding the axes are sufficiently precise to a desktop simulation. I think we can not find a better price / quality ratio given the higher cost of competition for products with the same features (or less ...). Programming software buttons / axes is provided but I have not had to use it. It seems a little complex but probably essential if using the Saitek block for several games / simulation.
