January 28, 201115 yr Hi all,I'm currently using a Thrustmaster joystick, which works fine, and i'm mainly flying pmdg aircraft. Just recently I have been considering buying a Yoke to improve the experience of my simming. But my question is which one?I've been reading through the posts on here, and it appears there are two to choose from, CH products and Saitek. I've read here, good, bad, and some real horror's about both. This has kinda put me off a little bit and I'm, wondering if I should just stick with my trusty stick! Unfortunately money is limited, so can't go to the high end yokes that are out there. I was leaning towards the Saitek product, mainly due to the fact, that it looks to be a better build quality, but maybe looks can be deceiving.Can anyone please let me know if these horror stories are true? which one of these two yokes is the better? and is there any similarly priced alternative?Thanks for any help anyone may have.David Phillips. Happy Flying, Dave Phillips.
January 28, 201115 yr Have the CH Products USB Yoke, Pedals and Throttle Quadrant: All have been working flawlessly for me over the years. The products are all plastic but very solidly built. Bear in mind CH Products is not a toy manufacturer but instead manufactures industrial joysticks.An advantage of the CH Yoke is you get three additional control axis that are useful for spoilers, nosewheel steering, heading control on certain older autopilots (Sperry gyro) and elevator trim.Cheers,- jahman.
