Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB ( 200-615 )
Customer Review: Positioning Deficiency
Summary: 3 Stars
in general the yoke is not deferent from the normal joystick . in fact when you release your hand pressure on the joystick it will return to it's normal position but in the case of this yoke it dose not return to it's original position which makes it difficult to level the aircraft. in addition it dose not add much realism to the game as i was expected.
Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned every version of MS Flight sim to come out, but always been disappointed with the action when using the keyboard and quickly grew tired of it. However, I recently started real flight training and my instructor told me to get the CH yoke. I did and it is unbelievably realistic when compared with the real thing. A great training aid. Although you don't get credit for sim hours toward your license, if you work the same maneuvers and principles on the sim that you do in your lessons, it will save you hours in the air and with the instructor. He has already told me he can really tell the difference between me and his other students. Besides, it's just fun! Makes MS Flight sim what it should be. I didn't get the rudder pedals right away, but realized I can't do forward slips or crosswind landings very well without them. Also, the autorudder feature is nice for beginners, but it builds a bad habit of steering while taxiing with the yoke, so I got the rudder pedals too. Love it!Customer Review: ch yoke review

Summary: 5 Stars
OK, I'm an old private pilot who has also flown Microsoft Flight Simulator before Microsoft owned the product but with this yoke, you really really add to the realism far beyond my expectations. The size of the yoke is close to those of most 2-6 passenger planes I have flown and so the feel is right at home in your hands. What's really amazing is that with it attached to the lastest version of Simulator, most of the controls functioned right out of the box with no programing. I was constantly surprised at how easy and how fully integrated the yoke and related buttons, etc. were with the software - functionally and visually - yes visually. You pull back on the yoke and a quick view inside the cockpit shows the simulated yoke moving almost in unison - almost scarry!
Although twice the price of the Microsoft software it's well worth the price and if you are a real pilot or want to be pilot, the FAA lets you log some real hours of practice with this stuff.
