HiI'm thinking to buy a professional yoke and rudder.Did you guys have a look at the new ACE Yokes?they look amazing!Wonder how they feel...?Maybe someone who has one can share their experience...Do you think there better then the PCF yokes?And what about PFC pedals are they any good?ThanksDavid

Can you post a link so we can see it?I am head over heals with my Saitek, as long as I stay away from any Saitek software.

Here it is: http://www.737yoke.com/faq.phpLook at the 747 yoke.It is stunning!Tell me that's not the nicest looking yoke you've aver seen!?David

Wow looking at the prices, I am might as well invest in stock and buy a computer.

I was going to get this yoke but at the time they only had the 737 version. Not much different, just the checklist and color. They released the 747 version a few months after me pestering them about it :( and in one email saying they don't have enough requests for it. I told them all they needed to do to make it a 747 version (not that I don't think they knew already ;-) and then they released it in February of 2009. I felt bad because then of course I didn't have the coin to buy it as I did months earlier, hehe.I'd get one if I started a full cockpit design again, but space and coin are currently a factor on that dream.

David,I do own a yoke from ACE and I must say they are fantastic! The best there is, really! You can't come closer to a real aircraft than that. Yes of course if I compare it to the real MD-11 yoke that one still feels heavier and more precise, but as I said, ACE is as close as you can get to reality. I did own a PFC yoke before that so I can compare, yes PFC is a bit cheaper but I strongly suggest to pay the extra money and go for ACE. The two compared I say ACE wins in every regard. They dampened both roll and pitch movements which what gets you that extra heavy feeling. PFC doesn't have this, it's just springs there nothing else...To make it short: ACE is the best way of steering airliners on a desktop computer. The price is high yes, but you get highest quality in return.Regards,Markus

Thanks Markus!That's what I needed to hear for confirmation.I read a few reviews about it and they all praise the same quality your telling me about.Maybe I'll go for the yoke for now...'cause they are also planning to make rudder pedals too.

You know the only thing that kills me though

LOL

LMAO

That too I'm afraid may be my fault... When I was corresponding via email last year, I told him my hopes to create a realistic stick shaker for it using "The Sybian" and I think that scare him... What scared me was he knew what "The Sybian" is :(

Even the Sybian carries a 5-year warranty and I would expect it to see a lot more use than the yolk. :(

Then a second question comes to mind...has anyone who owns one had problems with it?David Di Domizio

has anyone who owns one had problems with it?

No problems at all so far, works perfectly fine after more than half a year.Markus
