Saitek X52 PRO Metal?

Post by 21_Sokol1 »

Photoshop?

Esta foto surgiu hoje nos vários foruns relacionados.
Parece que resolveram abandonar o visual "Star Wars", pelo menos esteticamente.
O que é estranho pois o recem lançado Saitek Pedal manteve o estilo.
De diferente parece haver dois rotaries na base do throttle, abaixo do MFD.

Bonito.

Bacana mesmo, mas poderia ser só uma modificação do X52 original feita por algum usuário.

S!

Confirmado, já esta em "coming soon" na Saitek.

Detalhe:

De novo, alem da aparencia mais sobria parece ter um MDF melhorado:

* 2 dedicated MFD buttons and 2 rotary dials with in-built buttons to
control additional game functionality
* MFD displays data directly from games, including Radio Stack info
from Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 and 10

* Software Development Kit included for creating game-specific
programs to interact with the MFD
* Choice of red, amber or green button illumination
* lluminated buttons and MFD - ideal for low light environments
* Throttle unit illumination varies depending on throttle position
* Enhanced MFD backlighting
* Improved cable management system

Podem ir encomendado para o "bom velhinho". :)

Preco definido: 199,99U$ na pagina da Saitek, o que deve significar uns 170~180,00U$ nos revendedores.

Parece que a Saitek ouviu usuarios para aperfeicoar o X-52, corrigindo problemas existentes, nao se limitando a melhorar o MDF e a aparencia.

"... To create the last word in flight control, Saitek consulted the world's leading flight-sim experts, reviewed every component and function of the acclaimed X52 and made more than a dozen significant improvements. "

"The X52 Pro's new interactive Multi-Function Display (iMFD) works with leading flight sim software, presenting and controlling cockpit instrumentation at a glance. Already working fully with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, the supplied Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to customize the iMFD for any other software. "

O sistema de mola foi aperfeicoado, agora sao duas molas concentricas agindo no eixo - observe a segunda acima do cilindro cromado no interior da externa, que aumentam a resistencia conforme se move a alavanca, o que deve resolver a "molesa" do X-52.

"High resolution, absolute linearity and enhanced non-contact technology on Stick X and Y axes improve responsiveness and control, while the new dual concentric spring centering mechanism progressively increases resistance, just as it would in a real aircraft."

A boatos que o sistema de sensores (hall) foi aperfeicoado - visto que o do X-52 tem problemas de linearidade* - observaveis no JoyTester.
*A VKB russa vende um conjunto de magnetos resitores aperfeicoados para substituicao neste modelo, por cerca de 25,00U$.
