It also features backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate for night flights the 5 programmable LEDs are also a plus for use in dark or low-light conditions. It includes a friction wheel, allowing users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own taste. The product's final mechanical component, the control panel, provides an extensive number and variety of controls. The throttles feature a total of 17 action buttons, a 'Point Of View' hat and a 'mouse hat / slew control'. The Afterburner detent is disengageable, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting. Switching to the Idle and Afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16,384 values on each throttle) provides unrivaled precision. The throttle component has also been very carefully designed, with a dual throttle system allowing for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attaches the 2 throttles together, or else keeps them independent of one another.
