I am currently using saitek yoke/throttle/pedals for my simulator setup. Unfortunately, they have their limitations and I have had way too many spiking issues with them (been using them for nearly 2 years now). I am building a new PC soon, so I thought I would also get a new yoke/throttle/pedals/and optionally some more panels. I have been able to find 2 brands, PFC and GoFlight. I'd ideally get something like the 737 yoke but something that gets attached to a desk rather than the floor (I live in an apartment with wooden floors, my wife would divorce me if she saw that 737 yoke drilled on the floor). So I'm wondering if there is anything like that or if one of the other yokes in PFC would be useful (although not realistic). In addition, as far as the other stuff (throttles, panels) is concerned, I can only see GoFlight, however, and I mean no disrespect and arrogance here, they look very old and way too overly priced for something that doesn't look - well realistic (other than the MCP pro which I really like). I also read in a few different websites, even the $500 throttle from GoFlight runs into the spiking problem which I have with my cheap $50 saitek throttle.So, I really need advice. I am very limited as far as how much I can do "manually". I don't have my own house/apartment, I don't have time or place to do any sort of woodwork, but on the other than, I want the best and the most realistic parts as I can afford.Thanks.

Seems you can get the PFC 737 yoke in both floor and desk styles. See: http://www.flypfc.com/boeing%20yoke/boeing%20yoke.htmlCheers,- jahman

Wow, thanks, seriously I didn't see that! I will check it out.What about throttles/MCP/gear controls? Any suggestions?

In FSUIPC there

Trust me, I have spent SO MUCH time for the spiking problem. I have bought FSUIPC just for this, I have tried to clean up the throttle with compressed air, I have sent them back to Saitek and got new parts, but there was STILL spiking after using them for a few weeks. Whatever I read online, the spiking looks like an inevitable problem.
