Hi I have been flight siming for quite sometime and recently made the Jump to real world piloting both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. The fellas I fly fixed wing with and my instructor for rotary aircraft all agree that my use of flight programs with this equipment has translated into a more fluid, focused training experience. The only thing one does not quite experience is the actual mechanical tactile elements and forces of "G" associated with real world flying. Otherwise When in X-Plane, FX or 2004 Microsoft programs you are real as you program it. This is also true of older Ubisoft titles which fly well and much more acurately than with Logitech controller Sticks. Logitech has just come out with controllers like Ch-Products and Saitek. The Jury is not in on these yet. Try landing on the pitching deck of a carrier in Lomac IL2 or Pacific fighters. You`ll get a real thrill/chill and a sense of accomplishment. Especially when battle dam-aged I love CH-Products READ what you can do W/CMS Software. We have Joy Lt Scott St. John

CH Flight Sim Yoke 211
Flight Sim Yoke well worth the purchase.
There are two buttons which need attention:
1)The landing gear switch has to be pushed down to retract the gear...very unrealistic!
2)The paddle switch on the left horn has no function...should be able to fine trim pitch!
My son is in heaven!
Ordered this for my 10 year old for XMAS. It was his request and the #1 item on his wish list. He was picky about what he wanted in his "yoke" and this really made him happy. Very good that it has some clamps that are on the bottom that you can fasten to your desk, etc. that allow for the unit to be solid when the operator pulls back on the yoke. The reviews seem to indicate that this model is very well liked and I have heard that some actual pilots use this game toy to practice.
Average Yoke for a Low Price
I am giving this product an average review - not because it doesn't work as advertised, but because it is true that the stability of the product degrades over time and that it will need to be replaced every 2 years or so, and that's with fairly infrequent use. The calibration of my yoke after 2 years of owning it is completely out of whack. I've tried recalibrating within Flight Simulator and it's no good, the yoke doesn't have a steady "idle" position and jumps all over the place depending on how far the center column snaps forwards or backwards after applying pressure. I believe anyone considering this product should consider buying something more pricey because they are going to get more mileage out of it. The flaw in this peripheral is not in its construction so much as its design. Out of the box the product is great, it's not until later that you'll start experiencing problems.
