Flight Simulation

From simply adding an X-keys Desktop under the monitor to emulate an F-16 ICP, to using the X-keys Matrix board for all the switches in a full blown cockpit, these guys have taken advantage of X-keys versatility and reliability to move one step closer to virtual reality in their flight simulations.

New X-keys Review in PC Pilot

Crash's Cockpit featuring the X-keys Desktop as his ICP

"We are using the 20 key PS/2 unit to simulate the ICP panel in FALCON 4.0. It fits well between the Masterpilot Quickshots that are being used as MFDs and functions well in the daisy chain with the MFDs, and CH Products or THRUSTMASTER HOTAS gear." -- Dan “Crash” Crenshaw
