What is a Profile
A Profile is a custom setup for improved gameplay - consisting of a set of commands that are pre-assigned to the buttons or axes
of your controller. There are pre-written Profiles available on the Product Companion Disk that accompanies this device. Please
also check the Saitek Website (www.saitek.com) for new profiles which will be added for Pro Flight Rudder Pedals.
How Do I Program My Controller?
After getting to know your controller, you can start creating your own personal Profiles with the Saitek Smart Technology
