Product Description

There aren't many flight yokes out there for home PC users who play flight sims, but among that small selection of yokes, you'll find a few that are absolutely top-notch. CH Products' Flight Sim Yoke is one of those. Featuring a realistic look and feel and plenty of button functions, this flight yoke is a must-have for all flight sim enthusiasts. ??The Flight Sim Yoke offers an array of controls that includes a four-way hat switch, a gear switch, a flap switch, two 2-way rocker buttons and three push buttons. There are 14 button functions in all, and they are extensively programmable using the Game Center software utility provided with the yoke. With this many available functions, you'll seldom have to reach over to use a keyboard command.

Summary

First thing I should say is that this yoke is not to be used for combat flight sims, or racing sims...

Strength

Lots of buttons, 3 throttles, USB, compatible with most Flight simulators

Weakness

Expensive, Possible difficulties with clamps, designed only for civil aviation

Bottom Line

If you love flying civilian aircraft this is the yoke for you (especially if you don’t want to spend $400 or more)

Summary

The first thing you notice about the yoke is comfort; the yoke fits right into your hands. CH designed to the yoke to be form-fitting (to an extent). And the handles of the yoke are large enough to fit large hands, but are still shaped so that it will...

Strength

Many buttons and features, 3 engine-control axis

Weakness

Pitch movement seems "sticky", clamp is too thick, expensive

Bottom Line

A very cool and very useful product, but it could be smoother, and could be priced a little better.

Summary

The next best thing to this yoke is priced about $500. I got this yoke from egghead.com at only $100. Couple this with the USB rudders from CH products (also $100) and you have a great flight control combination. Apart from the x-y axis of the yoke, it...

Strength

Best yoke for the money.

Weakness

It's construction is a little cheesy.

Bottom Line

Highly recommended if you are into general aviation flight simming such as MSFS, FlyII, FU3.

Summary

I have had the product for quite some time over one year. The device worked well (sort of) when i was flying around on my plasma screen. I had it hooked up to x-plane and with a g5 mac and a 42" plasma screen. Overall i was fairly content with it, then...

Strength

Worked okay for 6 months, but never went the distance.

Weakness

A bit expensive for a heap of plastic, what do you expect for $100

Bottom Line

don't bother buying it unless you are happy with replacing it in the near future.

Summary

All CH Products uniits are a little on the pricy side, but I've had the yoke for about a year now with no sign of failure. The clamps are a little sticky, but I don't remove it often. You can find all CH Products items on EBay, and save a ton. I also...

Strength

Sturdy construction. Smooth operation.

Weakness

No complaints
