Side Panel Control Deck for PC
Custom Control of Farming Operations
Saitek and GIANTS Software teamed up to create the first-ever Vehicle Side Panel exclusively for you, the virtual farmer. Enliven your farm with Saitek, the deep-rooted market leader in custom sim hardware.
Modernize Your Farming Equipment
Down on the farm there are no keyboards and if you're lucky the mice stay in the fields. So why would you play Farming Simulator with a mouse and keyboard? Boost your farm sim experience and get truly immersed with Saitek's Side Panel Control Deck . Enhance command of farming machines and attachments with the Side Panel Control Deck's front loader control stick and a whole bushel of programmable buttons.
- Plug and Play with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 – No Drivers Needed
- Seamlessly Compatible With Other PC SIM Games – Euro Truck, Train Simulator, FSX, XPlane, Elite Dangerous
Command it All
Saitek's Side Panel Control Deck gives you the means to manage your farm and vehicles with utmost immersion and efficiency. More than two dozen buttons let you assign custom farming actions – nearly every aspect of the game is controllable with the Side Panel Control Deck . Switch tools, activate cruise control, operate your lights, view your map and PDA, interact with ranch hands, and even check your finances with the push of a button.
Organize the Forest
The Side Panel Control Deck's realistic front loader control stick gives you the sensation of true control over heavy machinery. Now you can easily engage tree harvesters, cranes, chainsaws, chippers, trailers, and more. What better way to take advantage of Forestry – the game's new economic branch?
Top-Notch Crane Control
The loader stick controls vertical, horizontal, and twist axes, while a mode switch on top of the stick doubles those commands giving you six axes to operate. Even better still, a button right next to the mode switch coincides with an oversized button that's also within easy reach. Program both buttons to easily change/open/close your attachments. For example, control your crane's base with the stick, press a button to switch to moving the crane arm with the stick, and then press another button to open and close the crane claw. All while keeping your hand on the control stick. You can even add a secondary Side Panel Control Deck and gain even more control by using two sticks!
Cruise the Farm
Put your vehicle on autopilot to make life on the homestead even simpler. Use the built-in dial to speed up your tractor or slow down your bulldozer. Once your pace is set, you're free to concentrate on more important tasks like deciding on who you're going to invite to the County Fair.
- Over 25 Programmable Buttons Put You in Total Control of Your Farm
- Loader Stick with Up/Down/Left/Right/Twist Action and Mode Button that Doubles Control Axes – Ideal for Logging
