Customer Reviews:

A mouse or mental telepathy works better [Posted on 2003-06-23]
Bottom line: this device sends spurious control imputs. It must also be recalibrated each time you boot and after perhaps 30 minutes of use... Use a mouse.

This seems to be a very popular item with the flight sim crowd. I am not a gamer and perhaps thats my problem. I am a real pilot (Private, Instrument, SEL, HP, Complex) and use MS Flight Sim to review procedures at airports I have not yet flown into. I bought this yoke to increase the realism of the simulation.

This yoke is a piece of junk. Aside from the spurious control imputs and constant recalibration, it bounces in both axes and does not feel or move anything like a real yoke. If you want realism look elseware. I currently use a mouse with MS Flight Sim; it is more realistic.

Good value [Posted on 2003-11-13]
I've used this yoke for four years now. I think it is a good value. I am a pilot (ATP/CFII). I use the CH yoke and pedals with the X-Plane simulator to fly practice instrument approaches. I find my real IFR flying is much sharper if I fly the sim when I haven't been in the clouds for a week or two. I haven't had any instability. The only time I have had to adjust settings is after upgrading to a new version of X-Plane. I recommend this yoke to my friends.
