Left hand or right?

Featured Replies

While I own and enjoy the CH Yoke and pedals, I also own the Saitek X52 joystick and throttle set. Some of the newer large Airbus jets are implementing a lefthand joystick and right hand throttle for the left seat (the opposite, it seems, from the HOTAS arrangement that modern fighter pilots use). I have tried this with the Saitek and it feels unnatural. Have other FS9 users tried this lefthanded joystick arrangement?Brian

Hi Brian,I use the following when flying the 'Bus:http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products...,CONTENTID=6953I have CH Yoke, Pedals and a MS Force Feedback 2. I had the same problem with the FF2 - it is made for the right hand. I find the Logitech excellent as it is a strong spring (similar to Airbus). One down side is that it doesn't have a point of view hat. It was the only one I could find that is not moulded for right hand though.Hope this helps,AndyEdit: PS The left handed flying took a while to get used to - which is kinda weird because I use my left hand on the yoke, with right hand on throttle! Must have been psychological lol.

Brian,I had a joystick before the CH Yoke. I used to use the Saitek 'Cyborg Evo' joystick so as I could simulate the left hand joystick on the Airbusses.It' is interchangable for left or right hand use.
