Logitech G (formerly Saitek) flight simulator controls turn a desktop PC into a realistic home cockpit, and choosing the right pieces comes down to the aircraft you fly and how complete you want your setup to be.

Whether you are logging practice approaches between lessons or flying for fun on the weekend, this is where most student pilots and sim enthusiasts start. The Pro Flight series of yokes, rudder pedals, and instrument panels combines realistic control feel with plug-and-play USB setup and broad compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, all without the cost of professional-grade hardware.

Types of flight simulator controls

Yokes and rudder pedals

A yoke-based setup mirrors how most general aviation aircraft fly and is the natural starting point for student pilots practicing between lessons. Pair the Pro Flight Yoke and throttle quadrant with the Pro Flight Rudder Pedals for coordinated turns, crosswind work, and realistic ground steering.

HOTAS sticks and throttles

For jets, helicopters, and combat simulations, a hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) setup beats a yoke. The X52 Pro and the dual-throttle X-56 put a center stick and dozens of programmable inputs at your fingertips.

Instrument and switch panels

Panels add cockpit depth without rebuilding your whole rig. The Multi Panel adds physical autopilot and trim controls, the Radio Panel handles COM and NAV frequency tuning, and the Switch Panel covers magnetos, gear, and lighting.

Ready-to-fly bundles

If you are starting from zero, our flight simulator bundles pair Logitech hardware with a Microsoft Flight Simulator download in a single box.

How to choose the right flight simulator controls

Start with the aircraft you fly most. If you train or fly general aviation aircraft, a yoke and rudder pedals will feel the most natural. If you favor fast jets or helicopters, a HOTAS stick is the better match. Decide how complete you want the cockpit to be: a yoke and pedals cover the fundamentals, while adding the Multi, Radio, and Switch panels brings you closer to a full instrument-rated practice environment. Confirm your platform too, since Logitech G Saitek controls are PC hardware for Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane. For an Xbox-compatible yoke, see the Turtle Beach VelocityOne line, and for stick-first alternatives compare the Thrustmaster range. To keep panels and tablets secure on your desk, RAM mounts hold everything steady. These controls anchor our complete flight training and simulation department, and our guide to the best flight simulator yokes, pedals, and controls compares the top options side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flight simulator yoke system?

A flight simulator yoke system is a desktop control that replicates the yoke and throttle of a real general aviation aircraft, giving you smooth, precise pitch and roll inputs for realistic flying. The Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke includes a three-lever throttle quadrant and connects to your PC over USB.

Are Logitech G Saitek flight simulator controls PC compatible?

Yes. Logitech G Saitek flight simulator controls are PC hardware and work with Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and other popular PC simulators using plug-and-play USB connections.

What comes in a Logitech flight simulator bundle?

A Logitech flight simulator bundle pairs core hardware, such as the Pro Flight Yoke and throttle quadrant, with a Microsoft Flight Simulator digital download in one package, so beginners can build a complete starter cockpit without buying each piece separately.

Can flight simulator controls be used for IFR practice?

Yes. Flight simulator controls are useful for rehearsing instrument procedures, navigation, and approaches at home, although time flown on consumer simulator hardware cannot be logged toward FAA aeronautical experience requirements.

Do I need rudder pedals for flight simulation?

Rudder pedals are not strictly required, but they make a meaningful difference for coordinated turns, crosswind landings, and ground steering. Most pilots who fly general aviation aircraft add the Pro Flight Rudder Pedals to their yoke setup for the most realistic experience.
