The games peripheral maker boasts that with its peripherals you can "bring your tractor home, without the mud". I am referring to it as an 'array' as there are three components that Farming Simulator users will lust after to provide a fuller agricultural simulation, but Saitek has modularised them to provide both placement configuration possibilities and pricing options. Saitek must have seen pent-up demand for a more full Farming Simulator experience complemented by an array of dedicated peripherals. The tractor-esque controller array will be made available from autumn this year for both PC and Mac Farming Simulator 2015 players. Mad Catz/Saitek went live with pre-orders for the farm game peripherals yesterday. Without the clamps in the way, I could move my keyboard and mouse to a sliding drawer underneath it all.A new dedicated games controller setup targeting Farming Simulator 15 players has been revealed and is now open for pre-orders. This secondary desktop is literally just setting on top of my existing desk. Then I removed the clamps and just screwed the pads directly to this new desktop. I mounted everything with their respective clamps first… until I decided where things would work best. ![]() I actually found a desktop from a guy on Craigslist ( Actual product here) that had a nice sweeping inset which proved to be wide enough to encompass all three devices (Alpha Yoke, Bravo Throttle, and Heavy Equip Panel). Regarding your “rejig” concern… I got this before my Bravo Throttle arrived, and I too thought I was going to run out of space on my desk for all things “clamped” but once I got used to this panel for camera control, I wasn’t going to be without it and I was determined to make it all work. That way if I accidently get all discombobulated, I can just hit that button and return to the default view for the current camera. Then, since you can assign multiple actions to the same buttons… I’ve also set the big gray button (21) to be a camera reset for ANY camera I’m currently viewing from. I can reach over (albeit blindly) and hit these buttons to change the view in my headset as well. This even comes in handy while I have my VR headset on. I’ve also configured the three black buttons to the right of the joystick (Buttons 22, 23, and 24) to be: I believe most of the camera views have both a “Toggle” and a “Hold” capability, so really… this should be up to you. If I have any complaint, it’s that none of the colorful buttons are LED or backlit.īetween the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, the Bravo Throttle Quadrant (should be here next week), two Saitek Radio Panels, and the Saitek Multi Panel… I’m running out of desk to clamp this thing to.ĭoes the view change while pressing the button OR does it stay on the new view after you release the button? Next I’m going to waste the entire weekend trying to figure out all the X, Y, and Z controls from the X-Box Controller and re-mapping them to the Farm Sim Panel (AKA, the "Heavy Equipment Side Panel - according to the box). This is going to be a great help in Camera control for me, as I am not a gamer and haven’t really warmed up to the X-Box controller to do this. I can assign Camera Translate Up/Down to the thumbwheel.There are effectively two separate joysticks available due to the dual position button on top (red/blue LED).I can assign camera motion (drone or otherwise) to the joystick axis.I can assign views to any of the pushbuttons.Just got the Farm Sim Side Panel, hooked it up to USB, loaded up the MSFS and Boom!
