April 10, 201313 yr If it's anywhere near $1000US I'm looking elsewhere. For me the limit would be in the $450~$500 range. Any higher and it's out of my league. Besides that, if you're going to spend $500-$1000 on a yoke, why not just go for a PFC? I'm still in hope GoFlight doesn't price themselves out of the market and positions this yoke between Saitek and PFC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Regards, Frank van der Werff

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk PFC refused to put a hat switch on their yokes... I spoke to them directly about it and their response was a real yoke doesn't have a hat switch so neither do ours. I respect their attention to realism but you are building a yoke for FS, not for real life. The lack of a hat switch always stopped me from purchasing a PFC as I use my hat switch constantly. Go-Flight adding a Hat switch Plus mouse control puts them a step up on PFC if the yokes perform equally... I actually think these will be MORE expensive than a PFC but I hope Go-Flight proves me wrong. Again, I am just speculating... Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
April 10, 201313 yr I actually think these will be MORE expensive than a PFC but I hope Go-Flight proves me wrong. Again, I am just speculating... Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe the market for >$1000 FS hardware is extremely small. I think GoFlight would make a mistake the would price it in that range Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Regards, Frank van der Werff
April 12, 201313 yr I know some one that is testing it and he said it the best desktop yoke you going get, apparently and the build quality of buttons are second to none. The base of it is smaller then the CH yoke but don't quote me just yet. Oh and price I quoted was meant to be in pounds but is still just an opinion. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
April 12, 201313 yr I'm looking for a realistic 737 yoke. Unfortunately ace yokes are the only 'authentic' ones so far. Hopefully goflight can change that and produce a free standing version. Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering

April 12, 201313 yr I actually think even if it is in the PFC/ACE price range with the hat switch/mouse control features (if it is equally as robust) it has to be the hands down winner. This is just how I would see the race between PFC/ACE and GoFlight. Of course this is all predicated on the fact that price and quality are indeed equal.

Yeah strange one about the Hat switch because they have included a mouse button and I don't know it that is true to the real thing. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
April 12, 201313 yr I use the Saitek yoke, Rudder peddles, and 2 throttle quadrants with custom handles for 737. Have a Saitek Trim wheel too but sadly discovered that it is not compatible with NGX. For gliders I use Microsoft sidewinder force feedback 2 and for the odd time I fly anything else with a stick its Saitek X52. Very happy with all Saitek products!
April 13, 201313 yr Commercial Member So the price seems to be 749 dollars. Not bad at all though then shipping would add some hundreds more to that. http://myemail.constantcontact.com/GoFlight---Pre-Sale-Event---Yoke-System.html?soid=1105174302350&aid=pMYUIkTwj3s Maybe some day I will get one, it surely looks just great compared to my cheap Saitek pro flight yoke.
April 13, 201313 yr Yes, promising so far but we still have to see how it translates to the European market. I wouldn't be too surprised to see it at the same pound/euro price as it is in dollars despite the difference in value. Fingers crossed. Sorry, I meant buying through their European suppliers of course rather than ordering from the US direct.

I'm still in hope GoFlight doesn't price themselves out of the market and positions this yoke between Saitek and PFC. Looks like they made a bad business decision and priced themselves out of the market. If it was under $500 then great but now they are going into PFC territory.
