A USB hub plugs into your mains supply and takes the power load off of your Mac. The reason is that they draw a lot of power from your Mac’s USB hubs which can crash your system or result in the dreaded spinning beach ball of death for ages. We strongly recommend getting a powered USB hub especially if you’re planning to use more than one of these controls together. X-Plane also has it’s own built in controller programming features.

The pedals provide braking control and allow tension adjustment so that you can find the resistance that suits your flying style. The Pro Flight Rudder Pedals are non-slip and have a realistic smooth action that are self-centering. The pedals allow you to control the rudder and toe brakes of an aircraft with your feet. The Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals are the icing on the cake when it comes to creating a realistic cockpit flight sim setup for your Mac. Note that you need drivers for the Logitech flight panel to work on a Mac which are available here. The Pro Flight Multi Panel brings much greater realism by giving you physical switches for trim wheel and flaps as well as the ability to setup autopilot commands.

It is however quite power hungry on your Mac’s USB ports so we recommend either using a USB hub or making sure that your Mac is plugged into a power supply when using it.

To get the most out of it, you’ll also need the rudder pedals (see number 4 below) because otherwise X-Plane will automatically compensate for them. It only has 45 degrees of movement compared to the 90 degrees of a real yoke for example. The Saitek PRO Flight Yoke definitely makes flying planes in X-Plane more realistic although there are a few drawbacks. It also comes with a separate three axis lever throttle and includes a b uilt-in chronograph that accurately times flight plans. The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke has a POV Hat, 14 button controls and 3-position mode switches. It allows you to control pitch trim, roll trim and flaps and the view out of the aircraft (front, side & rear). If you only buy one cockpit accessory, the Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System is probably the best way to make your flight experience more realistic.
