Some people have found that lubricating the shaft of the CH Yoke will smooth out the movements. It's been a few years since I used one, but I recall having to do something of that sort. I can't recall which was the preferred lube, graphite or some silicon-based spray. You might have a look at the CH forums for more accurate info. You should be able to use the CH pedals and yoke together quite nicely, controlling the plane smoothly. It might take some practice, and you might have to tweak your sensitivity settings for both yoke and pedals, but with some trial and error it will work. I've been using a yoke and pedals for years, and wouldn't fly any other way.It's P-e-d-a-l-s, by the way, not padels. Sorry, couldn't help pointing that out. ;-)

>I cannot stand the CH Pedals....yuck...They are very good.>used em at a friends house once and they were unrealistic...>>the plane was all over the runway on takeoff yuckHave you flown a real plane - they can also be all over the place on takeoff? My first few takeoffs in a C172 never kept on the centerline as I was overcorrecting. My first few landings were even worse :-lol My Instructor took me to Duxford airfield in the UK when there was a strong crosswind. He got me to fly along the runway at about 50ft, keeping lined up with the runway using the rudders - all over the place I was. After an hour doing this I was much better.When I first got the CH Pedals I was all over the place in the sim. After using them for a while I can now keep lined up with the centerline even in strong winds - you just have to practice until you learn how not to over control.CH Pedals with their Yoke are fantastic addons for FS.Ray Keattch

Beans, regarding Sticky shaft - you may want to try Prestone Silicone Lubricant. Not much mind you, I coat the shaft in fron & back with a light coat about once a year. Have been doing this for many years with many flying hours on the CH yoke & pedals.Based on your positive comments about CH Stick, I'm thinking about going with the F-16 Stick to fly the RealAir SF260 since it is a stick aircraft. I just need to figure out how to set it up for flap, trim, & gear operation config. Good luck! ervIntel Core 2 X6800(3.22), P5W Deluxe, Coolmax 650W, Corsair DII800 4G, two 74G/WD 10,000 drives, ASUS 1900XT/512 Card, CoolMaster TAC-T01, Creative Sound Card, USB Logitech 350 Headset with Mic, Samsung 22
