August 11, 201114 yr gotta LOVE the PFC stuff, someday I intend to get a column yoke as well, though the Cirrus Beech yoke is working great so far! I will never go back to Saitek or CH stuff, there's just NO comparison IMHO.. Now if I could just convince the lady friend to let me get some rudder pedals like those in your picture above :) T'would be nice Ty J. Peres - KBZN
August 11, 201114 yr Thanks Ty, the column yoke with Track-IR is amazing, but the best thing I did although not prevalent in the photo, is the Saitek throttles. The long black bar that locks all four thrust levers to one, I actually cut in two with a fine serrated blade, so two finger rest notches on the bar actually control one engine. It makes the thrust lever more stiff and the width of the handle is proportional to a single thrust lever of the 737. That was the best idea I think. When I want to fly other aircraft I still have the other knobs to switch on and off.

September 3, 201114 yr Just ordered Thrustmaster Hotas warthog... arriving Monday I was considering the Saitek Yoke until I saw one for real on Friday. That changed my mind. I like my controller to feel like a proper piece of kit...

September 3, 201114 yr Hehe Im still using my microsoft sidewinder (mark 2 usb) with full force feedback with the aid of fsforce. Why microsoft stopped making them I dont know. It was one thing they were good at. Solid heavy, well built, and really good force feedback. Wouldnt like to lose it. If you see one on ebay, grab it.
September 3, 201114 yr started simming about 12month ago and used nothing else but my trusty xbox 360 controller ray wed
September 4, 201114 yr I'm using Saitek products.... yoke, rudders and 2 throttle quadrants; Cyborg keyboard and R.A.T.7 mouse with 2 x 22" HD Widescreen monitors. Works well for me. I have a blast with this "stuff".
September 4, 201114 yr CH yoke and pedals, saitek throttles, TrackIR5, Opencockpits' 737 MCP, EFIS & CDU + multiradio & general simulation panel. iPad for charts. I'm very happy for SDK, so opencockpits can write working drivers for their hardware :) Jussi F I use Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick. Quite okay, but not the same feel as the 737 yoke, for no big surprise. I also use the Apple Ipad 2 for charts, planning, metar etc, so I use it like a EFB like in real, with manuals, documents, diagrams and wx charts on it. Has bumped the realism quite many step upwards!
September 4, 201114 yr Saitek X52, but after learning about the Thrustmaster Warthog damm! I want that now. I5 2500K oc to 4.5ghz Asus P8Z68 V-PRO mobo 8 mem DDR3 1600 Corsair H60 Cooler EVGA 470 GTX Samsung 1920 1080p Monitor VelociRaptor 600GB HD "Dedicated"
September 4, 201114 yr Logitech Extreme 3D pro but looking into buying something more high end.. I been looking at fry's eletronic for something better but I'm confuse on what I should get... Carlitos Colon

September 4, 201114 yr I have just ordered a Warthog I was considering a Saitek or CH products yoke, but after seeing the toyish build quality and feel, it was a done deal with the Warthog. I would prefer to be immersed in a sim, regardless of the plane I am flying with the controller feeling solid and like a proper controller rather than a sloppy piece of plastic in my hands! Sorry to all the Saitek and CH users, please, no offence. I will eventually get my hands on a proper yoke but only when they actually feel like the real thing. I have looked at the VR insight yoke but sadly it does not have any switches on the controller itself. PS. Anyone want to buy a Saitek X52 pro controller!
