having used both the saitek and ch yokes in the past, i can fully relate to them being "sticky" i finally bit the bullet and started saving for a PFC beech yoke. I realize it's a big investment but wow, like night and day. Its truly made all the difference, hand flying is a dream now! if anyone was considering the jump to higher quality hardware, PFC controls would be the way to go. Best investment for flight sim by far, top notch stuff.

The "flying through" advice is good thanks. Hand flying does present a challenge but I do feel more "pilot like".
