Military-grade Flight Sim Precision
Inspired by controls found within actual fighter planes, the next-gen
X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S. System for PC provides utmost control over simulated
aircraft. Built to the same exacting standards of Saitek's award-winning Pro
Flight accessories range, the X-55 Rhino delivers a multitude of customizable
options never before seen in an H.O.T.A.S. System. Whether flying a modern
fighter, single- or multi-engine aircraft, or even a retro single-seat plane,
the X-55 Rhino supplies all the control surface options required to achieve the
exact level of aerial performance aspiring pilots demand.
Enhanced Stick Accuracy
During virtual flight – just like true flight – the accuracy of an
aircraft's control surfaces is of paramount importance. The
X-55 Rhino's control surfaces are incredibly accurate, courtesy of an all-new
16-bit aileron and a 16-bit elevator axis, each employing hall-effect sensors.
Developed from the ground up, Saitek's 16-bit axis solution enables extremely
precise flight.
Adjustable Stick Force via Advanced 4-Spring System
A ground-breaking, adjustable stick spring system allows pilots to alter the
force required to move the stick. Four springs of varying resistance are
included to provide a total of five different options. Choose the spring – or
no spring at all – which best accommodates your style of flying.
Twin Throttles with Friction Adjuster and Throttle Lock
Using a twin-engine throttle controller is the only suitable method for
manipulating a virtual twin-engine aircraft. The X-55 Rhino boasts twin
throttles – ideal for situations in which your primary engine is disabled and
you're down to one – and also provides the option to adjust the friction
required to move them. And if your aircraft of choice is single-engine, a handy
throttle lock effectively converts the twin throttles into a single unit.
Bonus Toggles and Rotaries on Backlit Throttle Base
Flight sim accessories used by today's virtual pilots require the highest level
of control and customization. The X-55 Rhino showcases additional toggles and
rotaries, not based on any particular aircraft, around the throttle base. Seven
extra three-way toggle switches and two rotaries allow you to customize this
H.O.T.A.S. System to your own specifications.
Individual USB Connectors
The X-55 Rhino's stick and throttle units each utilize their own separate USB
connection, offering greater flexibility during customization. You're free to
situate the controls exactly where you want them, without the need to keep them
tethered to each other.
H.O.T.A.S. Configuration Software Enables Programmable
Controls
Saitek's new software provides the ability to completely customize all of the
X-55 Rhino's axes and buttons. On the axis side, you can adjust deadbands and
response curves to fine-tune axes to respond just like an aircraft's real-life
counterparts. On the buttons and toggle side, you can assign any number of
in-sim directives, such as speed brake, flares, target lock and pickle weapon.
The software also allows programmability for an array of mouse and keyboard
commands – from basic single-key inputs to very advanced, timed, and macro
commands.
Build the Ultimate Virtual Cockpit
Transform even a modest PC into a virtual cockpit and experience the staggering
realism of different flight and emergency situations – complete with
realistic weather and flight conditions. Using the X-55 Rhino as a foundation
for Saitek's modular accessories, easily add Combat Rudder Pedals and a
multitude of Switch, Navigation, and Instrument Panels to fully customize your
flight simulator. Commercial or private, seasoned or novice, you have the
ability to equip your flight simulation setup with all the essentials needed to
vastly improve your skill set and muscle memory.
